1 Important Notices
1.1 Deployment Information
IMPORTANT: Refer to the RDL-3000 Family User Manual for detailed regulatory
information. Refer to this document before deploying and powering RDL-3000 family
systems in the field.
1.2 Service & Safety
General Warnings
Redline recommendations for maximum safety include the following:
Do not operate microwave equipment without first having proper training or
knowledge of microwave radio operation.
Do not operate the microwave equipment without an appropriate antenna port
termination, or antenna.
Check to ensure that the area around the antenna is clear of personnel prior to
turning the transmitter on.
Do not look into or stand in front of an antenna.
Do not swing or aim an antenna at nearby persons while the equipment is operating.
Where a structure or rooftop has existing antennas installed, do not proceed with an
installation without first determining the RF/µW exposure risk. Where necessary
have the relevant transmitters turned off or wear a protective suit for the duration of
the installation.
Safety Warnings
Installation of the system must be contracted to a professional installer.
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.
Read this manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.
Keep all product information for future reference.
The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not exceed
the described limits.
The unit must not be located near power lines or other electrical power circuits.
Disconnect the power before cleaning, or when the unit is not be in-use for an
extended period.
Chapter 1

Edge INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
70-00204-01-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2015 Page 9 of 56 May 19, 2015
The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and
accumulated static electricity. The user is responsible for installing 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.
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.

1.3 Installation Safety
Professional Installation / Installations Professionnel
Redline RDL-3000 systems require professional installation. The user is responsible to
ensure all building and safety codes are met and the installation is complete and
secure.
The RDL-3000 system shall be installed according to local Electrical Safety Codes.
For Canadian installations, the entire equipment installation must comply with the
Canadian Electrical Code. For installations in the United States, the entire equipment
installation must be in accordance with Article 810 of the United States National
Electrical Code.
Les appareils RDL-3000 de Redline doivent être installés par un personnel
professionnel. Le personnel responsable doit s’assurer que l’installation est bien
achevée, et qu’elle répond aux exigences de tous les codes de sécurité.
Le RDL-3000 doit être installé conformément aux codes locaux de sécurité électrique.
Pour les installations Canadiennes, l'installation de l'équipement au complet doit se
conformer au Code Canadien de l'électricité. Pour les installations aux États-Unis,
l'installation de l'équipement au complet doit être en conformité avec l'article 810 du
Code des États-Unis National Electrical.
Safety Precautions
Installation and service must be done by personnel having technical training and
experience necessary to be aware of hazards during installation and/or service of
outdoors RF equipment. The installation and/or service must be done using procedures
designed to minimize any danger to technical personnel or any other person.
Use safety devices when working on or around the mast. Be aware of the risk of falling
objects. Use provided safety catches when hoisting antennas and radios.
Do not use any components (screws, nuts, etc.) other than those delivered together with
the Redline microwave radio equipment or those recommended by Redline.

Electrocution Hazard / Risque D’électrocution
Warning to Service Personnel:48 VDC
This product is intended to be connected to a power source as per IEEE 802.3at (42.5
- 57.0 VDC), which must be electrically isolated from any AC sources and reliably
connected to Earth ground. Do not install Redline products near any type of power line.
Should the antenna or related hardware come in contact with power lines, severe bodily
harm or death could result!
Attention au personnel du service: 48V CD
Ce produit est destiné à être connecté à une source d'énergie selon la norme IEEE
802.3at (42,5 à 57,0 VDC), qui doit être isolé électriquement de toutes les sources de
courant alternatif et fiable relié à la masse de la Terre. Ne pas installer les produits
Redline près n'importe quel type de ligne électrique. Si votre antenne ou du matériel
connexe entrer en contact avec des lignes électriques, des blessures graves ou la mort
pourraient en résulter!
Radio Frequency Safety / Sécurité des Fréquences Radio
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed
such that the antenna does not emit RF fields in excess of the general population limits
as defined by:
FCC CFR 47, Part 2.1091
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2009-title47-vol1/pdf/CFR-2009-title47-vol1-sec2-
