cedures of cell site installation, all relevant safety requirements, and applicable local
building codes.
General Cautions and Warnings
Observe the following when installing or operating any PacketMax System compo-
nents.
Carefully follow all local building and electrical codes, especially the latest revision
of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and standard safety procedures for install
-
ing and working with this type of equipment. Improper procedures or installation
can result in damage to the equipment or the building, and injury or death. If you
are not sure about whether the installation follows these codes, contact a licensed
building inspector or electrician in the area for assistance.
Always use quality components—including cables, connectors, mounts, etc.—
specifically rated for your particular environmental conditions and system
performance requirements.
Always use appropriate tools, and follow the instructions of the tool
manufacturers.
All outdoor installation, including equipment mounting and cabling, should be per-
formed by trained microwave radio technicians familiar with usual and customary
practices and procedures.
Take extreme care to avoid contacting any overhead power lines, lights, and
power circuits while you are installing outdoor equipment. Contact with any of
these objects could cause injury or death. Do not install outdoor equipment near
power lines.
Observe all customary and mandatory safety requirements when installing and
operating PacketMax equipment.
Make sure that the outdoor radio/antenna is grounded in accordance with local,
state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Pay special
attention to NEC sections 810 and 820. See the instructions in Chapter 4 of this
manual.
For the PacketMax 100/300 Series Indoor Unit, use an outlet that contains surge
protection and ground fault protection, or use a surge protection device. This will
protect the Indoor Unit and equipment connected to it from damage resulting from
AC current surges, lightning, etc. For complete protection, all connections to the
Indoor Unit (i.e., from radio/antenna and PC/hub) should be connected to a surge
