UL Information
The suitability of the supplied Ethernet cable is subject to the approval of Authority
Having Jurisdiction and must comply with the local electrical code.
The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local
safety code and building code requirements.
Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as is practical.
RDL-3000 system must be installed in compliance with relevant articles in National
Electrical Code-NEC (and equivalent Canadian Code-CEC) including referenced
articles 725, 800 and 810 in NEC.
RF coaxial cable connecting an antenna to the RDL-3000 system must comply with
the local electrical code.
To meet the over-voltage safety requirements on the telecommunications cables, a
minimum 26 AWG telecommunication line cord must be used.
Pour être en conformance avec les exigences finies de sûreté de sur-tension sur les
câbles de télécommunications un fil de télécommunication ayant un calibre minimum
de 26 AWG doit être utilisé.
Lightning Protection / Protection Contre la Foudre
When installed, this equipment is to be connected to a Lightning/Surge Protection
Device that meets all applicable national safety requirements. Before Ethernet cables
enter buildings, voltages shall be clamped down to SELV by approved type primary
protectors.
WARNING: The information provide in this user manual consists of general
recommendations for installation the system equipment. The wireless equipment must
be installed by a qualified professional installer who is knowledgeable of the
requirements of installing outdoor radio equipment and follows local and national codes
for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of
non-standard practices and procedures may result in personal injury and/or damage to
equipment.
The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and
accumulated static electricity. The user is responsible to install this device in accordance
with the local electrical codes: correct installation procedures for grounding the unit,
mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, location of discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes.

RDL-3000 RAS-Extend M Installation Guidelines
70-00174-04-00 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2014 Page 12 of 53 July 9, 2014
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to surge damage from a direct hit or
current induced from a near strike. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage
even if recommended guidelines are followed. Installing surge protection and following
grounding practices detailed in local and national electrical codes can minimize
equipment damage, service outages, and chance of serious injury.
The major reasons for surge damage can be summarized as:
Poorly grounded antenna sites
Improperly installed surge protection equipment
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth
without passing through and causing damage to parts of a structure. A good grounding
system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning strike away from the building
and equipment. Improperly grounded connections are a source of noise that can cause
malfunctions in sensitive equipment. The remaining energy on the Ethernet cable shield
and conductors can be directed safely to ground by installing a surge arrestor in series
with the cable. A surge protection system does not prevent lightning strikes, but protects
equipment by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy safely to
ground. If surge protection is required for the system, the following general industry
practices are provided as a guideline only:
The AC source ground for the indoor power adapter should be connected to the
building grounding system.
Install a surge arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable at the point of entry to the
building. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point
used for the tower or mast.
Provide direct grounding connections from the RDL-3000 system, the mounting
bracket, and the antenna to the common building ground bus. Use the grounding
screws provided for terminating the ground wires.
L’installation exige aussi que l’appareil soit branché à un parafoudre qui répond à
toutes les normes nationales de sécurité.
1.4 WEEE Product Return Process

2 System Features
The RAS-Extend M auto-acquire wireless system delivers secure high-speed TCP/IP
Ethernet network access to vessels and floating platforms operating anywhere in a Redline
wireless coverage area. The RAS-Extend M mounts on a prepared mast and provides
touchless continuous antenna alignment.
Figure 2: Features: RAS-Extend M System
The RAS-Extend M has multiple options for quick and easy mounting. When activated,
the RAS-Extend M system automatically scans (up to 360°) and self-aligns the antenna
to the best wireless signal. Cyber security and wireless operational settings are
negotiated automatically to bring the local TCP/IP Ethernet plug live on the network at
rates up to 100 Mbps. Continuous antenna adjustments keep the network connection
active while the system is in motion.

2.2 RAS-Extend M Antenna Positioner
The RAS-Extend M antenna positioner unit controls the alignment of the antenna for the
RAS-Extend M system. Two pairs of RF ports conduct the RF signals between the static
base ports and the moving platform. Control signals and power are provided by the
RAS-Extend M wireless terminal.

RF-1 In / RF-2 In
The two RF ports (TNC / F) conduct RF signals between the antenna positioner and the
wireless terminal. A pre-terminated cable is provided to connect the antenna positioner
to the wireless terminal.
Position Control & Power In
The Position Control & Power In port (43-pin circular / M) delivers position control signals
and DC power to the RAS-Extend M antenna positioner A pre-terminated cable is
provided to connect the antenna positioner to the wireless terminal.
Important: The tethered cap must be cleaned and installed on this port immediately
whenever the Control + Power Cable is disconnected for any reason.
RF-1 Out / RF-2 Out
The two RF ports (TNC / F) conduct RF signals between the antenna positioner and the
MIMO antenna system. Pre-terminated cables are provided to connect the antenna
positioner to the MIMO antenna system.
