nection to earth of the supplementary earthing conductor shall be in

compliance with the appropriate rules for terminating bonding jumpers

in the country of usage. Termination of the supplementary equipment

earthing conductor is permitted to be made to building steel, to a metal

electrical raceway system, or to any earthed item that is permanently

and reliably connected to the electrical service equipment earthed.

4. Bare, covered, or insulated earthing conductors are acceptable. A

covered or insulated earthing conductor shall have a continuous outer

finish that is either green (Canada and USA only), or green-and-yellow

(all countries).

5. Avoid servicing during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk

of electrical shock from lightning.

6. For Finland, Norway, and Sweden, the equipment is to be used in a

RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION where equipotential bonding

has been applied. The permanently connected PROTECTIVE EARTH-

ING CONDUCTOR is to be installed by a SERVICE PERSON.

Warning: For RF safety considerations, users are not allowed to approach

close to the antenna.

Psion Teklogix supplies the coaxial cable required to connect the 9160 to the antenna.

When determining the location of the antenna, coverage requirements of the antenna

are considered in conjunction with the environmental requirements of the 9160.

The coaxial cable must be routed and secured using wire anchors and/or coaxial nail

clips. A few extra inches of cable are required near the antenna and the 9160 to

make disconnection easier.

2.2 Connecting To External Devices

This section contains general guidelines for connecting the 9160 to external devices

such as network controllers, base stations, host computers, PCs, and video display

terminals.

2.2.1 Ports

Figure 2.2 on page 19 shows the locations of the port and power connectors on the

base of the 9160. The port pinouts are described in Appendix B: “Port Pinouts And

Cable Diagrams”.
