Do not locate any antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where the antenna can come into contact with such circuits. When installing
antennas, take extreme care not to come into contact with such electrical circuits, as they
can cause serious injury or death.
For the correct installation and grounding of antennas, please refer to national and local
codes (for example, US:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810; in Canada:
Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
You must ALWAYS install an external grounding wire. The ground connection must be
complete before connecting power to the OWS enclosure—a simple continuity check
between the enclosure and the ground termination point can confirm this. Grounding of the
OWS must comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in
your area take precedence over the NEC code.
An assembled power cord is not supplied with the OWS. The power cord must be assembled
by a professional installer, and the final assembly must comply with National Electrical Code
(NEC) requirements, unless local codes in your area take precedence over the NEC code.
This product contains a non-rechargeable, non-user-serviceable lithium ion battery. Exercise
caution to avoid shorting the terminals of this device.
Consult local laws and regulations for the proper disposal of batteries in your area.
A solar shield is required for any installation where the OWS product will receive direct
exposure to sunlight. Failure to install a solar shield where required may cause damage to the
product and will void its warranty. Contact your Strix authorized distributor or Strix Systems
for Solar Shield model numbers and ordering information.
