1.1 Safety Warnings
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 AN-80i 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.
1. Installation of the system must be contracted to a professional installer.
2. Read this user manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.
3. Keep all product information for future reference.
4. The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not exceed
the described limits.
5. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Disconnect
the power before cleaning.
6. Disconnect power when unit is stored for long periods.
7. The AN-80i 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 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 action will void 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.
3. Redline does not endorse or support the use of outdoor cable assemblies: i) not
supplied by Redline, ii) third-party products that do not meet Redline's cable and
connector assembly specifications, or iii) cables not installed and weatherproofed as
specified in the Installation Guidelines manual (70-00073-01-XX). Refer to the
Redline Limited Standard Warranty and RedCare service agreements.
1.4 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.
