Introduction
Antenna Grounding Requirements 5
Siemens does not endorse or support the use of proprietary third-party outdoor cable assemblies not supplied by
Siemens.
WARNING!
Keep away from electric power lines.
You can be killed if the antennas are in close proximity to electric power lines. Carefully read and
follow all instructions in this manual. By nature of the installation, you may be exposed to hazardous
environments and high voltage. Use caution when installing the outdoor system.
Section 1.3.8
Antenna Grounding Requirements
The antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the NEC. Of particular note is the requirement that the
grounding conductor not be less than 10 AWG (Cu). The scheme should be either in accordance with UL 96 and
96A Lightning Protection Components and Installation Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems, or tested
in accordance with UL 50 and UL 497.
Section 1.3.9
Outdoor Grounding System
WARNING!
Verify that the base station is grounded.
The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and accumulated static
electricity. It is the installer’s responsibility to install this device in accordance with the local electrical
codes.
Section 1.3.10
User Ports and Power Supply
If the length of outdoor exposed communication lines is greater than 40 m (140 feet), these lines must be treated
as TNV-1 circuits. The installer must ensure that the power supply and network ports are designed for full
compliance with the TNV-1 telecommunication network.
Section 1.3.11
Safety Hazards
WARNING!
Installing the WIN7000 can pose a serious hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the following:
• Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
• Falling when working at heights or with ladders
• Injuries from dropping tools
