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-20E is intended for installation in a restricted access location.
IP-20E 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-20E, 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.

FibeAir® IP-20E Installation Guide
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 7 of 52
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-20E 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-20E 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.

1.2.3 Allgemeine Vorsichtsmaßnahmen für die Anlage
Wenn andere Steuerelemente verwendet, Einstellungen
vorgenommen oder Verfahren durchgeführt werden als die hier
angegebenen, kann dies gefährliche Strahlung verursachen.
Beachten Sie beim Arbeiten mit IP-20E das folgende Stromschlag-
und Gefahrenrisiko: Durch Abtrennen einer Stromquelle wird nur ein
Stromversorgungsmodul abgetrennt. Um die Einheit vollständig zu
isolieren, trennen Sie alle Stromversorgungen ab.
Maschinenlärminformations-Verordnung - 3. GPSGV, der höchste
Schalldruckpegel beträgt 70 dB(A) oder weniger gemäß EN ISO
7779.

3. Cable Installation and Grounding
Cables must be grounded as follows:
For optical (SFP) cables (see Connecting an Optical Fiber Cable and SFP on
page 23), no grounding is required.
For Ethernet cables, the cable should be grounded to the antenna tower
every 50m, using the kit CAT5E_gnd_kit.
3.1.1 Grounding Procedure
1 On the front of each IP-20E unit, loosen the nut, plain washer, and serrated
washer.
2 Place the cable lug (supplied with the IP-20E grounding kit) on the screw.
3 Secure the cable lug.
Notes: The unit’s earthing screw terminal shall be permanently
connected to protective earth in a building installation in
accordance with applicable national code and regulations by
a service person.
A 2-pole circuit breaker, a branch circuit protector, suitably
certified in accordance with applicable national code and
regulations, rated maximum 20A, shall be installed for full
power disconnection in a building installation.
Any outdoor antenna cable shield shall be permanently
connected to protective earth in a building installation.
3.1.2 Power Source
When selecting a power source, the following must be considered:
DC power can be from -40 VDC to -60 VDC.
Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source), battery
backup, and emergency power generator.
Whether or not the power source provides constant power (i.e., power is
secured on weekends or is shut off frequently and consistently).
The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides.

FibeAir® IP-20E Installation Guide
Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential Page 17 of 52
Caution! The user power supply GND must be connected to the
positive pole in the IP-20E power supply.

3.4 Securing the Cables
All cables should be secured at every meter on-site using a T-Rups kit, P/N
Outdoor Ties (AA-0604-0). When using the T-Rups kit, take special care to
apply the proper amount of force in order to avoid damage the cable. This is
especially important for optical (SFP) cables.
