In almost all cases, either for license-exempt or other designation, the product itself must be
authorized for use in your country. Either Exalt or Exalt’s agent must have applied for
certification or authorization to allow the sale and deployment of the system within the country.
It is also possible that only certain versions or configurations of the device are allowed within a
particular country. Please contact Exalt or your authorized Exalt representative for information
pertaining to your country.
It is the (professional) installer’s responsibility to assure that the radio
system is implemented in a legal fashion. Exalt cannot be held liable for any
unsafe or illegal installation.
1.2 EX-5r Basic Features
The EX-5r Digital Microwave Radio is intended for all-outdoor mounting. It is accompanied
with an indoor-mounted power injector. The EX-5r may also be mounted indoors or in an
enclosure, if desired. Depending on the configuration purchased, the associated antenna is either
integrated as part of the unit or connected separately. For the integrated antenna version, the
entire unit is typically mounted on a tower or rooftop mast structure, with Ethernet/Power and
other optional interface cabling running from the unit’s location, through a structure penetration,
to the power injector and connected communications equipment. For the external antenna
configuration, the unit is typically mounted very close to the external antenna to minimize RF
cabling and associated losses. Alternatively, the unit may be mounted at an easily-accessible
location with longer RF cabling to the antenna. Proper lightning or surge suppression devices
and associated grounding are required for all connections.
