1 Important Notices
1.1 Service & Safety
1.1.1 Safety Warnings
1. PoE power adapter caution:
Warning to Service Personnel:48 VDC
Customer equipment including personal computers, routers, etc., must be connected
only to the INPUT (DATA) port on the PoE unit.
Only the outdoors Ethernet interface cable connecting to the unit can be safely
connected to the OUTPUT (DATA & POWER) connector. Connecting customer
premises Ethernet equipment directly to the OUTPUT (DATA & POWER) connector
on the Power-over-Ethernet power adapter may damage customer equipment.
2. Installation of the system must be contracted to a professional installer.
3. Read this 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. Disconnect the power before cleaning, or when the unit is not be in-use for an
extended period.
7. The unit must not be located near power lines or other electrical power circuits.
8. 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 unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, location of discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding
electrodes.
1.1.2 Warning Symbols
These 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.

1.1.3 Lightning/Surge Protection
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. It is the user’s responsibility 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.
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 you have determined that surge protection is required 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.
2. 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.
3. Provide direct grounding connections from the RDL-3000, the mounting bracket, and
the antenna to the common building ground bus. Use the grounding screws provided
for terminating the ground wires.
