Operating Temperature Range

The operating temperature range is –30 °C to + 60°C (– 22 °F to + 140 °F) 

ambient temperature for the 25 W base station and –30°C to +50 °C (–22 °F 

to + 122°F) ambient temperature for the 50 W and 40W base stations. 

Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the air at the intake to

Grounding and Lightning Protection

4.5.1

Electrical Ground

The base station modules are grounded by physical contact between the 

module mounting points and the chassis. To ensure a good ground 

connection you must tighten each module securely (for the correct torque 

refer to “Replacing Modules” in the installation and operation manual).

A threaded grounding connector is provided on the rear of the tray for 

connection to the site ground point (for more details refer to 

“Connections” 

on page 65

).

4.5.2

Lightning Ground

It is extremely important for the security of the site and its equipment that 

you take adequate precautions against lightning strike. Because it is outside 

the scope of this manual to provide comprehensive information on this 

subject, we recommend that you conform to your country's standards 

organisation or regulatory body.
