The equipment meets the requirements for class I EN 60950-1 (protection against
electric shock).
All external circuits are TNV-1 (as defined in EN 60950-1).
All equipment must be grounded before the power cable is connected.
For electrical safety the DC power supply shall have reinforced insulation to the
mains supply.

Safety 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.
Connect-OW 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 Connect-OW 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 Connect-OW-OW Installation Guidelines
70-00200-01-00 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2014 Page 12 of 58 December 3, 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 Connect-OW 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.

2.3 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Device
2.3.1 DC-DC PoE
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) power injector provides power to the wireless terminal
using spare conductors on the Ethernet cable. The power input may be 10-30 VDC. All
Ethernet conductors are isolated (ETH and PoE) and have surge protection circuitry.
Figure 10:Features - DC-DC PoE Features
Ethernet Port
Connect this port to to the local 10/100Base-T network device. Data signals are passed
transparently between this port and the PoE port.
PoE Port
Connect this port to to the cable leading to the Connect-OW wireless terminal Ethernet
port.
: System installation must include a dedicated surge protection device for
the Ethernet cable at the point of cable ingress into the shelter or cabinet. Refer to the
installation section for details.
