Safety Precautions & Declared Material
General Equipment Precautions
Caution
To avoid malfunctioning or personnel injuries, equipment or accessories/kits/plug-in
unit installation, requires qualified and trained personnel. Changes or modifications
not expressly approved by Cambium Networks can void user's authority to operate
the equipment.
Caution
Where special cables, shields, adapters and grounding kits are supplied or described
in this manual, these items must be used to comply with the FCC regulations.
Caution
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified
herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution
When working with a PTP 820S, note the following risk of electric shock and energy
hazard:
Disconnecting one power supply disconnects only one power supply module. To
isolate the unit completely, disconnect all power supplies.
Caution
Machine noise information order: 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure level
amounts to 70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.
Antistatic
Static electricity may cause body harm, as well as harm to electronic components
inside the device. Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the PTP
820S must use an ESD Wrist Strap. ESD protection measures must be observed when
touching the unit. To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device,
all electrostatic must be discharged from both personnel and tools.
Caution

Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through
the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective
earthing –and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some
circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain
frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet
utstyr –og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette skal
det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator
mellom utstyret og kabel- TV nettet.
Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via
annan utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk
főr brand. Főr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät
galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet.
Précautions générales relatives à l'équipement
Caution
L’utilisation de commandes ou de réglages ou l'exécution de procédures autres que
celles spécifiées dans les présentes peut engendrer une exposition dangereuse aux
rayonnements.
Caution
L’usage de PTP 820S s’accompagne du risque suivant d'électrocution et de danger
électrique : le débranchement d'une alimentation électrique ne déconnecte qu'un
module d'alimentation électrique. Pour isoler complètement l'unité, il faut débrancher
toutes les alimentations électriques.
Caution
Bruit de machine d’ordre - 3. GPSGV, le plus haut niveau de pression sonore s'élève à
70 dB (A) au maximum, dans le respect de la norme ISO EN 7779.
Allgemeine Vorsichtsmaßnahmen für die Anlage
Caution
Wenn andere Steuerelemente verwendet, Einstellungen vorgenommen oder
Verfahren durchgeführt werden als die hier angegebenen, kann dies gefährliche
Strahlung verursachen.
