About an Hoffman Enclosure Installation
The recommended RS4000 installation is a wall mount, but if necessary the RS4000 can be housed
inside a protective (NEMA) box made by Hoffman that is manufactured with external corner tabs for
standard wall mounting, above or below a ceiling.
Meru leaves the placement and orientation of the Hoffman enclosure to the customer. It will be
necessary to drill holes through the plastic enclosure with a Meru-provided template to enable the
antenna and Ethernet cabling to exit the enclosure. Instructions for performing this task are provided
in the section “Creating Cable Pass-through Holes in the Hoffman Enclosure” on page 14.

Warning! Inside antennas must be positioned to observe minimum separation of 20 cm. (~ 8 in.)
from all users and bystanders. For the protection of personnel working in the vicinity of inside
(downlink) antennas, the following guidelines for minimum distances between the human body and
the antenna must be observed.
The installation of the indoor antenna must be such that, under normal conditions, all personnel cannot
come within 20 cm. (~ 8.0 in.) from any inside antenna. Exceeding this minimum separation will
ensure that the employee or bystander does not receive RF-exposure beyond the Maximum
Permissible Exposure according to FCC CFR 47, section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General
Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.
