Safety Precautions

Warning: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where
it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with
such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer
to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical
Code, Section 54). Statement 1052
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the
victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may
save your life!
For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions.
If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance.
Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are
about to install.
Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use
for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install.
Find someone to help you-installing an antenna is often a two-person job.

    Installation This section provides installation instructions for wireless antennas supported on Cisco 1000 and 2000 Series Connected Grid (CGR) routers. This section contains the following:  Safety Precautions, page 27  Installation Requirements, page 28  General Installation Instructions for Mounting Antennas, page 30 ...

  • Page 2: Installation Requirements

     Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.  Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. ...
  • Page 3  Customer premises field depot Before installing your antenna, determine the optimum location for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees: Measure the height of your antenna. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast, then double this total for the minimum safe clearance distance from wires, power lines, and trees.

  • Page 4: General Installation Instructions For Mounting Antennas

     Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the WiFi radio to which one of the antennas is connected.  For instructions on installing or replacing a Cisco Connected Grid module, see the corresponding installation and configuration guide for each module.

    Securely clamp the wire to the bottom of the mast. Secure the lead-in wire to a lightning arrestor and mast ground wire to the building with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 ft (1.2 m) to 8 ft (1.8 m) apart. Mount the lightning arrestor as close as possible to the lead-in wire entry point on the building wall.
