Installing the Outdoor Units (ODUs)
Observe the following safety measures when installing the outdoor units.
• Masts/poles should comply with local standards.
• Only trained professional installers should install or dismantle outdoor units. The installer is
responsible for meeting all building and safety codes.
• Before installing an outdoor unit, make sure it is disconnected from power.
• A safety belt and climbing harness must be used when installing the outdoor units on a mast or
tower.
• Masts of height 3 meters or more must be guyed according to required industry standards and be
lightning protected.
• If an outdoor unit is to be mounted at a height of more than 4 meters above the roof, it is
recommended that a climbable tower be installed to give access to the equipment and to prevent
antenna movement during strong winds.
• When installing equipment, beware of overhead high-voltage power lines. Never install a mast
under power lines.
• The mast structure must be grounded.
• Do not stand in front of a live outdoor unit.
• The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations
and per antenna type.
• The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least
200 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government
regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the AirMux-200 warranty
and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial
liabilities. RAD and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury,
damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor
units or antennas.
Protection Against Lightning Activity
Observe the following safety measures to protect personnel and equipment:
• All outdoor equipment must be attached to a properly grounded structure, and installed masts
must be grounded in order to provide protection against lightening, surges and static buildup. In
addition, masts over 3 meters should have a lightning protection rod. Failure to do so creates a
safety risk and will void the equipment warranty.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect the cables prior to or during electrical storm
activity.
• In case of an electrical storm, do not touch any outdoor electrical equipment and leave the roof as
quickly as possible.
