wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack‐mounted equipment should be
mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets.
Further, you should ‐
• Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last
• Never connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment
• Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground
Protection against Lightning
The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All
RADWIN outdoor units are designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of
damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor
devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.
General
• It is recommended that installation of outdoor units be contracted to a professional
installer
• Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines,
you should remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact
with energized parts
• Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines
• Use extreme care when working at heights
• When using an AC power source for RADWIN devices, always use the AC power adapter
supplied by RADWIN
