1. Safety Precautions 1-1

1. Safety Precautions

PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

Do not turn on power before reading Moseley’s product documentation. This device has a

-48V DC direct current input.

1.1 RF Energy Health Hazard

This symbol indicates a risk of personal injury due to radio frequency

exposure.

The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio frequency transmitters.

Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional

antenna may pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come in close proximity to the

front of the antenna while the transmitter is operating. The antenna will be professionally

installed on fixed-mounted outdoor permanent structures to provide separation from any

other antenna and all persons.

WARNING: FCC RF exposure compliance requires a minimum separation distance of

33.9cm maintained between the user and antenna when the product is used with a 9dBi

antenna. For point-to-point use with a 26dBi antenna, this distance must be increased to

a user separation distance of 240cm.

Appropriate warning signs must be properly placed and posted at the equipment site and

access entries.

1.2 Protection from Lightning

Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996

specifies that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge

protection at or near the point of entry to the building. The code specifies that

any shielded cable from an external antenna must have the shield directly

connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground electrode.

1.3 Protection from RF Burns

It is hazardous to look into or stand in front of an active antenna aperture. Do not stand

in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated transmitter or

transmitters are switched off. Do not look into the waveguide port when the radio is

active.

1.4 Risk of Personal Injury from Fiber Optics

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the end of a fiber, fiber

cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible, but can

cause serious injury to the eye.

WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber fragments can

enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.

1.5 This is a Class A product

WARNING: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause

radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to

remedy the interference.

1.6 Turn off all power before servicing

WARNING: Turn off all power before servicing.

Event 5800 Installation & Reference Manual 1-2

1.7 Power Supply Safety Requirements

Safety requirements require a switch be employed between the external DC power

supply and the EVENT 5800 power supplies. The switch must disconnect both poles of the

power supply. A single-pole disconnect device can be used to disconnect the line

conductor where it is possible to rely on the identification of an earthed conductor in a

DC MAINS SUPPLY. The supplied AC to DC converter alleviates this requirement since

the AC MAINS connector can be unplugged to disconnect the power.

1.8 Battery must be replaced correctly

CAUTION: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace

only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of

used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Panasonic (or equivalent) is the manufacturer of the battery (Part Number: 2032).

Disposal instructions are available on the Panasonic website. Please dispose in

accordance with local regulations.

1.9 Proper Disposal

The manufacture of the equipment described herein has required the

extraction and use of natural resources. Improper disposal may contaminate

the environment and present a health risk due to the release of hazardous

substances contained within. To avoid dissemination of these substances

into our environment, and to lessen the demand on natural resources, we

encourage you to use the appropriate recycling systems for disposal. These

systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials found in this equipment in a sound

way. Please contact Moseley or your supplier for more information on the proper disposal

of this equipment.

1.10 Equipment RF Protection

CAUTION: Do not operate the EVENT 5800 without an antenna, attenuator or

load connected to the antenna port. Otherwise, damage may occur to the

transmitter module due to excessive reflected RF energy.

CAUTION: Always attenuate the signal into the receiver antenna port to lest than

–20 dBm ( 22.4 mV / 10 mW ). This will prevent overload and possible damage

to the receiver module.
