MBW 510 Safety Information
RF Exposure
The MBW 510, an outdoor access point, is compliant with the requirements
set forth in CFR 47 section 1.1307, addressing RF Exposure from radio
frequency devices as defined in OET Bulletin 65. The outdoor access point
antennas should be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 3
feet (1 meter) from humans.

MBW 510 Lightning Protector
A lightning protector is required when the MBW 510 unit is installed in an
outdoor location and the Ethernet cable connects to an indoor network
device.
The purpose of the lightning protection is to protect people and equipment
located indoors from lightning that might strike the MBW 510 or its
outdoor cables. Therefore, the lightning protector device should be
installed indoors, as close as possible to the point where the cables enter
the building.
The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors, as long as the
cables that go from the lightning protector to the indoors are well
protected from lightning between the box and the building entrance.
Verify that you have shared grounding. GO Networks offers a lightning
protector that can be ordered separately.

connectivity and operation
Site Survey
Most wireless LANs include many access points installed in various
locations in an overlapping radio-cell pattern. It is important to carefully
identify each access point’s position and the assignment of its radio
channels. Therefore, a site survey becomes an essential first step before
physically deploying the MBW 510.
Installation of the access points requires a backhaul to interface the
corporate network or Internet. This backhaul connection can be a mesh
configuration, an Ethernet-wired connection, or a third-party solution.
When using any method other then a wired connection, keep in mind the
MBW 510 has to have a good reception on its backhaul side so it will not
limit the access-channel performance.
Conclude the site survey with a detailed plan of the MBW system
deployment. The system deployment plan should include MBW 510
mounting points and the routes for the power and backhaul cables.
Note: When mounting the MBW 510 on a pole (or wall mount), the pole
should be able to support four times the weight of the MBW 510, as
well as the wind loading created by the MBW 510.
Since the mounting structure itself is a potential source of
interference, the cell should be mounted with at least 4 feet of
clearance between the antennas and the mounting structure.

Assembling and Mounting
The universal mount is used to attach and secure the MBW 510 to a wall, a
streetlight arm, or a variety of poles.
The MBW 510 mounting consists of the following stages and should be
performed in the following order:
