Installation Precautions
WARNING!
The SkyZhone Model 1x00 products are AC power device conforming to UL 60950-1 standards. The
AC Power cable must connected to an AC source by a licensed electrician familiar with the NEC, CEC
and all applicable local codes.
Proper Safety Grounding is required to insure proper operation and protection from lightning
strikes and surges. A copper ground lug is provided on the unit for this purpose. Connect a
length of #10 AWG solid, bare, copper wire to the grounding lug and firmly tighten the
grounding screw (see Figure 18 on page 39). Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a
grounded surface or another earth ground such as a metal rod. This ground must be installed
before applying power to the unit.
SkyZhone provides both Primary and Secondary lightning and surge protection to the Ethernet
cable. The Console cable is unprotected and should not be installed on outdoor installations.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) require the use of an
agency listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector for all power and data communications
cables entering a building. This is to protect the building and occupants from damage caused
by transient voltage and current surges.
A UL 497 (CSA C22.2 No. 226-92) approved primary protection device must be used at the
building entrance if the Ethernet port is used to provide in-building access to the SkyZhone
network. Also check with local wiring codes.
Serious injury can occur if the antennas come in contact with electric power lines. Carefully follow
the instructions in this manual. During and after installation, the antennas must be a minimum of
24 inches from any power lines. Use caution when installing this outdoor equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Requirements (per OET-65) requires the SkyZhone platform to be mounted
such that the general public does not come within 10 inches of the antennae.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
