Compliance
General
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could void the user’s authority to
operate the system.
NOTE: This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This
means that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to
comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates is may be ‘unlicensed’ and, in these
bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference. Further, it is not guaranteed
protection against interference from other products and installations.

3
The system has been tested for compliance to both US (FCC) and European (ETSI) specifications.
It has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital
device1, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA and appropriate European ENs. These
limits have been designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. However
the equipment can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
•Increase the separation between the affected equipment and ODU.
•Connect the ODU/PIDU into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult your installer or supplier for help.
Deployment and Operation
The Radio Regulations of various countries’ limits constrain the operation of radio products gen-
erally. In particular the local regulator may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter
power and may require registration of the radio link.
The power transmitted by the PTP 500 Series Bridge is controlled by the use of Region-specific
License Keys.
The following examples show how the regulatory limits apply in some specific countries at the
current time. Operators should note that regulations are subject to change.
Contact your supplier/installer to ensure that your product is set for the correct License Key for
your Country/Region and to ensure that you have fulfilled all the local regulatory requirements,
especially if you are intending to use a link with external antennas. Notes below the tables indicate
countries where registration of the link is currently mandatory.

2 Avoiding Hazards
2.1 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy
Caution To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install the radios for the 500 family of PTP
wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons
as shown in Table 3.
When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields
are present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be deployed in a
location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.
At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below generally
accepted limits for the general population.
Note These are conservative distances that include compliance margins.
2.1.1 Calculations for Separation Distances and Power Compliance Margins
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:
•US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov,
and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, as well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC OET
Bulletin 65.
•Health Canada limits for the general population.
See the Health Canada web site at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/99ehd-dhm237/limits-limites_e.html
and Safety Code 6.
•ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for the
general public. See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for
Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.
The applicable power density exposure limits from the documents referenced above are:
•6 W/m2 for RF energy in the 900-MHz frequency band in the US and Canada.
•10 W/m2 for RF energy in the 2.4-, 5.2-, 5.4-, and 5.8-GHz frequency bands.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
S=P.G
4πd2(1)
Where:-
S= power density W/m2
P= Maximum Average transmit power capability of the radio W
G= total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB
d= distance from point source m

Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields
d=rP.G
4πS (2)
2.1.1.1 Calculated Distances and Power Compliance Margins
Table 3 shows calculated minimum separation distances d, recommended distances and resulting

Table 3 Power Compliance Margins
Notes:
1. The regulations require that the power used for the calculations is the maximum power in the
transmit burst subject to allowance for source-based time-averaging.
2. At 5.4GHz the product is generally to a fixed EIRP which can be achieved with the Integrated
Antenna. If there are no EIRP limits, use the distance calculations for 5.8GHz.
3. At 5.8GHz, for antennas between 0.6m (2ft) and 1.8m (6ft), alter the distance proportionally
to the antenna gain

3.1 For Your Safety
WARNING: Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
WARNING: Use extreme care when working at heights.
WARNING: The Outdoor Unit (ODU) for the PTP 500 Series Bridge must be properly grounded
to protect against lightning. It is the user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance
with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the
Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the
outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection
requirements for grounding electrodes. It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be
contracted to a professional installer.
WARNING: The ODU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge must be grounded to a Protective Earth
in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.
WARNING: It is recommended that the supplied Power Indoor Plus (PIDU Plus) – PTP 500
Series is used to power the PTP 500 Series Bridge ODU. The use of other power sources may
invalidate safety approval and affect your warranty.
WARNING: When using alternate DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in terminals as described
in Section 3.3.3 “Redundancy and Alternate Powering Configurations”), such as battery-backed
DC power source, the supply MUST comply with the following requirements:
•The voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the PIDU Plus
•The power source is rated as SELV
•The power source is rated to supply at least 1A continuously, and
•The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by IEC/EN/UL6090,
Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA)
CAUTION: Users and installers should note that the main power supply is the primary disconnect
device.
CAUTION: Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for connections
that will be exposed to the weather.
CAUTION: Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one supplied
by Motorola as part of the system.
3.2 Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of the PTP 500 Series Bridge from Motorola. The PTP 500
Series Bridge is the latest innovation in high-speed wireless networking that lets you deploy wireless
networks in areas previously unattainable.
