General Safety Precautions
CAUTION! Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using
electrically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical
equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
CAUTION! This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum 8‐inch
(20 cm) clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut
down the RAN before servicing the antenna.
NOTE: RAUs are suitable for use in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300‐22(c) of the
National Electrical Code, and Sections 2‐128, 12‐010(3) and 12‐100 of the Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
CAUTION! Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not connect an antenna installed in an outdoor location
to a RAU, unless it is in an approved AOC weatherproof NEMA4 housing.
CAUTION! Attach all RAUs securely to a stationary object (that is, a wall, pole, or ceiling brackets). To mount
a RAU securely to a wall, ceiling bracket, or pole, use #6 diameter fasteners in the four slotted
mounting holes.
CAUTION! Do the following to maintain proper ventilation:
•
Keep at least 76 mm (3‐inch) clearance around the RAU.
•
Do not stack RAUs on top of each other.
•
Always mount the RAU with the solid face (containing the mounting holes) against the
mounting surface.
NOTE: You can place the RAU, without its fastening hardware, on a flat surface, such as a shelf, desk,
cabinet, or any other horizontal surface that allows stable placement, with the mounting base
facing down to the mounting surface.
CAUTION! If installing the RAU on a flat surface, the surface must be able to hold a minimum 7‐pound load
securely.
Do the following, in the order presented, to mount the RAUs and antennas:
Mount all MRAU and SRAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.
1
Install the passive antennas according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
2
NOTE: It is common practice to install passive antennas below the ceiling. If you install a passive
antenna above the ceiling, when estimating the antenna coverage area, account for additional
loss due to the ceiling material.
