1.1 Safety Warnings
1. PoE power adapter caution:
PoE Power adapter Caution
Warning to Service Personnel: 48 VDC
Connecting customer premises Ethernet equipment directly to the 'OUTPUT'
connector on the AN-80i Power-over-Ethernet power adapter may damage
customer network interface equipment. Customer equipment including
personal computers, routers, etc., must only be connected to the 'INPUT' port
on the PoE unit. Only the outdoors Ethernet interface cable to the AN-80i can
be safely connected to the 'OUTPUT' connector.
2. Installation of the system must be contracted to a professional installer.
3. Read this user manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.
4. Keep all product information for future reference.
5. The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not
exceed the described limits.
6. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Disconnect the power before cleaning.
7. Disconnect power when unit is stored for long periods.
8. The AN-80i must not be located near power lines or other electrical power
circuits.
9. The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and
accumulated static electricity. It is the user’s responsibility to install this device
in accordance with the local electrical codes: correct installation procedures for
grounding the AN-80i, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, location of
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for
grounding electrodes.

1.2 Important Warning Symbols
The following symbols may be encountered during installation or troubleshooting.
These warning symbols mean danger. Bodily injury may result if you are not
aware of the safety hazards involved in working with electrical equipment and
radio transmitters. Familiarize yourself with standard safety practices before
continuing.
Electro-Magnetic Radiation High Voltage
1.3 Important Service Information
1. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Do not remove the covers or
modify any part of this device, as this voids the warranty.
2. Locate the serial numbers and record these on your registration card for future
reference. Use the space below to affix serial number stickers. Also, record the
MAC address located on the AN-80i.
1.4 Product Information
Use the following table to record important system information:

1.5 Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system.
The wireless equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer
who must follow local and national codes for electrical grounding and safety.
Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices and
procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct
lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit
or induced current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices
in local and national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service
outages, and serious injury. Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
a) Poorly grounded antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy
into equipment.
b) Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause
equipment failures from lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter
earth without passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning
protection system does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for
controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low resistance path for the
discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded connections
are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction.
A good grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning
strike away from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the
Ethernet cable shield and center conductor can be directed safely to ground by
using a lightning arrestor in series with the cable.
If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your
system, the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only:
1. The AC wall outlet ground for the indoor POE adapter should be connected to
the building grounding system. as the AN-80i lightning protectors.
2. Install a lightning 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.
3. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable as close to the AN-
80i as practical. The grounding wire should be connected to the same
termination point used for the tower or mast.
4. Provide direct grounding from the AN-80i, the mounting bracket, the antenna,
and the Ethernet cable surge protection to the same ground bus on the building.
Use the grounding screws provided for terminating the ground wires.

1.6 FCC Notice
1. The Model AN-80i is only used for Point to Point application
2. The Model AN-80i and it’s antenna must be professionally installed
3. FCC & IC RX Exposure Warnings as below:
WARNING: To satisfy FCC and IC RF exposure requirements for RF
transmitting devices, a separation distance of 3.1 meters or more should be
maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device
operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not
recommended.
The antenna used for this transmitter must not be collocated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
4. The Model AN-80i and antenna are required to be professionally installed.
5. FCC Information to Users @ FCC 15.21 & 15.105:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
6. Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redline
Communications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
1.7 UL Information
1. The suitability of the supplied Ethernet cable is subject to the approval of
Authority Having Jurisdiction and must comply with the local electrical code.
2. The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local
safety code and building code requirements
3. To meet the over-voltage safety requirements on the telecommunications
cables, a minimum 26 AWG telecommunication line cord must be used.
4. "Pour être en conformance avec les exigences finies de sûreté de sur-tension
sur les câbles de télécommunications un fil de télécommunication ayant un
caliber minimum de 26 AWG doit être utilisé."
5. 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.
6. AN-80i 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.
7. RF coaxial cable connecting an antenna to AN-80i must comply with the local
electrical code.
