- 10 - NOTICE (PLACING EQUIPMENT)
GGS-000544-01E iPASOLINK EX Advanced: SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTICE (PLACING EQUIPMENT)
1. iPASOLINK EX/A generates non-ionizing radiation, and is designated for
the outdoor use. Installing the equipment indoors may cause bodily harm
nor inflict damage to objects, which needs to take the adequate measures, if
occurs.
2. iPASOLINK EX/A should be installed as follows:
Verify that the equipment is installed in the appropriate site. Do not
install it on an unstable spot. Improper installation raises the
temperature inside the equipment, which may damage the
equipment.
Accessing to the equipment should be limited only by the SERVICE
PERSONNEL or by USERS WHO ARE WELL TRAINED WITH
ENOUGH SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGES REGARDING THESE
RESTRICTIONS, PRECAUTIONS AND INSTALLATION SITES.
Accessing to the equipment must be protected using a tool, locks,
keys, and/or other means of security, which should be managed by
the authority who is responsible for the installed site.
The other end of the grounding cable connected to the ground
terminal should be connected to the station earth point. For details,
refer to the Installation Manual.
3. Precautions for Cables:
(a) POWER SUPPLY CABLES
Use two-core double insulated cable of 5.86 to 10.00 mm in diameter.
(b) DATA TRANSMISSION CABLES
Use shielded cables for the data transmission cables.
(c) GROUNDING
Ground Terminal should be connected to the station earth point. For
details, refer to the Grounding the Frame section in the Installation
manual.
4. Transmission quality degradation may temporarily occur due to the
electromagnetic disturbances, such as lightning or ESD.

- 12 - SAFETY GUIDELINE FOR USING HAZARDOUS MICROWAVE RADIATION
GGS-000544-01E iPASOLINK EX Advanced: SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY GUIDELINE FOR USING HAZARDOUS MICROWAVE
RADIATION
The radiation levels of Microwave and Millimeter-Wave that iPASOLINK series deal
with are very low, and no health hazard has been reported for them so far. However,
advanced countries that care much about health hazard have started regulating the
radiation levels. For EU countries, it is specified by EN 62311 Annex A A.2. In order
to follow the regulation, operators should not work near the antenna if its transmitter
is activating. Especially, the radiation level of a specific area (Xand Yshown in the
illustration below) in front of antenna is high.
See the following illustration and Calculation Examples 1 and 2:
Power density in front of the antenna turns high along the antenna beam. Ensure not
to allow yourself radiated by beams anytime.
Radiation Hazard Area
The power density and field strength level can be obtained by the following
calculation formula:
Where
P= Output Power (W),
P’ = Output Power (dBm),
G= Antenna Gain (dBi),
(in condition of angle and range from antenna)
R= Distance between human being and antenna (m)

Safety distance should be calculated according to the conditions of installation site.
Following show the calculation examples:
Calculation Example 1 (Front Side of Antenna)
iPASOLINK EX = +18 dBm
Antenna Diameter = 0.6 m
Antenna Gain = 52 dBi
Distance = 9.0 m
Output Power Density : S = 0.982 mW/cm21 mW/cm2
Limit: Output Power Density S = 10 (W/m2)*= 1 (mW/cm2)
*: COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION (1999/519/EC) of 12 July 1999 on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz)
Calculation Example 2 (Rear Side of Antenna)
iPASOLINK EX = +18 dBm
Antenna Diameter = 0.6 m
Antenna Gain = –16 dBi
Distance = 0.004 m = 4.0 mm
Output Power Density : S = 0.788 mW/cm21 mW/cm2
Limit: Output Power Density S = 10 (W/m2)*= 1 (mW/cm2)
*: COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION (1999/519/EC) of 12 July 1999 on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz)
The safety distance that is obtained by the conditions above and is below the value
defined by COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIN (1999/519/EC) of 1 mW/cm² is:
Front Side of Antenna (X) 9.0 m
Rear Side of Antenna (Y) 0.004 m = 4.0 mm
