1. Before You Start
1.1 Important Notes
•For the warranty to be honored, install the unit in accordance with the
instructions in this manual.
•Any changes or modifications of equipment not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and
the warranty for such equipment.
•IP-20S is intended for installation in a restricted access location.
•IP-20S must be installed and permanently connected to protective earth by
qualified service personnel in accordance with applicable national electrical
codes.
1.2 Safety Precautions & Declared Material
1.2.1 General Equipment Precautions
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 Ceragon
Networks could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
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.
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than
those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When working with an IP-20S, 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.
Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure
level amounts to 70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.

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 IP-20S 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.
In Norway and Sweden:
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.
1.2.2 Précautions générales relatives à l'équipement
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.
L’usage de IP-20S 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.
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.
