continuity check between the WBS-2400 and the ground termination point to
confirm. Make sure that grounding is complete before you connect power to the
Wavion WBS-2400.
Safety Precautions
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 can be very hazardous. Take precautions to avoid the
following:
Exposure to high voltage lines
•
Contact with AC wiring
•
Injuries from dropped tools and equipment
•
Falls when working at heights or with ladders
•

mounting location. The Wavion WBS-2400 should always be mounted with the top of the unit
parallel to the ground, and with the antennas pointing upward and clear of obstruction.
It is recommended to attach ground and data cables to the WBS-2400 prior to mounting.
Before mounting the WBS-2400, read the wiring instructions in
