Page 19: Lightning Protection Zones
Lightning protection zones Use the rolling sphere method as shown in Figure 4 to determine where it is safe to mount the equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). - Page 20 Table 1: EMC emissions compliance Region Specification (Type Approvals) FCC CFR 47 Part 15 class B Canada RSS-210 RSS-247 Europe ETSI EN 301 489-1 ETSI EN 301 489-17 System Planning...

Regulatory Information This section describes planning of the ePMP links to conform to the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. Attention The user must ensure the ePMP product operates in accordance with local regulatory limits. Note Contact the applicable radio regulator to check if the registration of the ePMP link is required. -
Page 36: Regulatory Limits
Regulatory limits The local regulator may restrict frequency usage and channel width and may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter power. Many countries impose EIRP limits (allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the ePMP Series. For example, in the 5 GHz band in Europe, these limits are calculated as follows: In the 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 36 dBm or (23 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm. -
