2. Installation
2.1
UL Approved for Class I, Division 2 or Zone 2
The HiPR-900 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, A, D or non-hazardous locations.
To meet UL compliance, the HiPR-900 must be installed in an enclosure and power must be supplied by a
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage
er-over-Ethernet (PoE) when it remains internal to the building and/or via the terminal block (+) connec-
tion.
Warning – Explosion Hazard – Do not disconnect while circuit is live unless area is know to be non-
hazardous. Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2 or Zone 2 operation.

Antenna Installation
2.2.1 Professional Installation & RF Exposure Compliance Requirements
The HiPR-900 radio modem is intended for use in the Industrial and SCADA market. The HiPR-900 must
be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance of more than 14.58 in. (37 cm)
between the radiating structure and any person. An antenna mounted on a pole or tower is the typical in-
stallation in some (this allows for mount) instances, a 1/2-wave whip antenna is used.
RF Exposure
The HiPR-900 radio modem uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated
energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be in front of the anten-
na when the transmitter is operating.
The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an
RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended safety guidelines for
the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian Safety
Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65.
Proper installation of the transceiver antenna of HiPR-900 products, as summarized in section 2.2.2 be-
low, will result in user exposure substantially below the recommended limits for the general public.
The HiPR-900 complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and must be professionally installed. Operation
must conform to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation of the device.
Notes:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the equip-
ment.
2.2.2 Antenna Connection
This equipment has been tested and approved with antennas having a maximum gain of 10 dBi. Transmit
antennas with a higher gain are strictly prohibited (by Industry Canada regulations). The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms. In order to reduce potential radio interference, the antenna type and its gain should
be chosen to ensure the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than required for successful
communication.
