2 Preparation before Installation
2.1 Safety Suggestions
To prevent device damage and bodily injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations described in this
chapter.
The recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous situations.
2.1.1 General Suggestions
Ensure that the device is installed indoors or in semi-open space.
The device is designed and evaluated just for operation at altitude below 5,000m. Therefore, the device can be
safely used at altitude below 5,000m. And there may be potential risks at altitude beyond 5,000m.
Keep the chassis clean and free of dusts.
Do not place the equipment in a walking area.
Do not wear loose clothes or any other things that may be caught by the chassis during installation and
maintenance.
Turn off the power and disconnect all cables before removing the chassis.
2.1.2 Safety Precautions for Removal
Avoid moving the equipment frequently.
Turn off all power supplies and unplug all power cables before you remove the equipment.
Keep balance when moving the equipment, and avoid injuring your leg and feet or spraining your waist.
2.1.3 Electrical Safety
Please observe local regulations and specifications when performing electrical operations. Relevant operators
must be qualified.
Please carefully check for any potential danger in the working area, for example, ungrounded power supply,
unreliable grounding of the power supply and damp/wet ground or floor.
Find out the location of the emergency power supply switch in the room before installation. First cut off the power
supply in case of an accident.
Avoid hot-line work by a single operator.
Be sure to make a careful check before you shut down the power supply.
Do not place the equipment in a damp/wet location. Do not let any liquid enter the chassis
2.1.4 Static Discharge Damage Prevention

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation before Installation
Although much has been done in RG-PBOX to prevent static electricity, great damage may be caused to the circuitry
and equipment when the static electricity exceeds a certain limit. In the communication network of the RG-PBOX,
electrostatic induction may come from the following sources: External electric field produced by the high-voltage supply
cable, lightning, etc; internal systems such as the indoor floor and the entire structure.
To prevent damage from static electricity, you must pay attention to the following:
Properly ground the equipment.
Take dust prevention measures in the room.
Maintain an appropriate humidity.
Do not let any clothes touch a circuit board.
2.2 Installation Site Requirements
RG-PBOX must be used in the room. To ensure normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the equipment, the
installation site must meet the following requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation Requirements
For airflow for proper ventilation, the RG-PBOX should be mounted in a place with sufficient space(10cm at least) for air
circulation.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the RG-PBOX, you must maintain an appropriate
temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high or low temperature or humidity for a long period of time may
damage the equipment.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak
electricity, and sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may
get rusted.
On the other hand, in an environment with low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, and static
electricity may occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment.
In an environment with high temperature, the equipment is subjected to even greater harm, as its performance
may degrade significantly and its useful life may be shortened in the case of long-term exposure that expedites the
aging process.
Temperature and Humidity Requirements of the RG-PBOX:
Operating Temperature
Operating Humidity
-20ºC ~ 50ºC
10%-90% RH (non-condensing)
The ambient temperature is measured at the point that is 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m before the equipment
when there is no protective plate in front or back of the equipment rack.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation before Installation
2.2.3 Cleanness Requirements
Dust poses the top threat to the running of the equipment. The indoor dust falling on the equipment may be adhered by
the static electricity, causing bad contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adherence may occur more easily when
the relative humidity is low, not only affecting the use life of the equipment, but also causing communication faults. The
following table shows the requirements for the dust content and granularity in the equipment room.
Maximum Diameter ( μm )
0.5
1
3
5
Concentration Limit (particles/m3)
1.4 x 10
7 x 10
2.4 x 10
1.3 x 10
Apart from dust, the salt, acid and sulfide in the air in the equipment room must also meet strict requirements; as such
poisonous substances may accelerate the corrosion of the metal and the aging of some parts. The equipment room
should be protected from the intrusion of harmful gases (for example, SO2, H2S, NO2and Cl2), whose requirements are
listed in the following table.

2.2.4 Anti-interference Requirements
Although much has been done in RG-PBOX to resist interference, great damage may be caused to the equipment
when the interference exceeds a certain limit. Various interference sources from outside the system, affect the working
power adapter in the conductive ways such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic radiation,
common-inpedance (including the grounding system) coupling and cables ( including the power, signal and output
cables).
Keep the equipment away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency
large-current device.
Measures must be taken to isolate static electricity. For example, use a shield cable as the interface cable.
2.2.5 System Grounding Requirements
A good grounding system is the basis for the stable and reliable operation of the RG-PBOX. It is the key to prevent
lightning stroke and resist interference. Please carefully check the grounding conditions on the installation site
according to the grounding requirements, and perform grounding properly as needed.
A properly-connected grounding system servers as the primary guarantee for prevention of lightning stroke and
resistance to interference. Therefore, please ensure correct grounding.
2.2.6 EMC Grounding
The ground required for EMC design includes shielding ground, filter ground, noise and interference suppression, and
level reference. All the above constitute the comprehensive grounding requirements. The grounding resistance should
be less than 1Ω. One grounding point is reserved at the back of the chassis.
Figure 2-1 RG-PBOX Power Adapter Grounding

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation before Installation
2.2.7 EMI Consideration
Various interference sources, from either outside or inside the equipment or application system, affect the system in the
conductive ways such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, and electromagnetic radiation.
There are two types of electromagnetic interferences: radiated interference and conducted interference, depending on
the type of the propagation path. When the energy, often RF energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive
component via the space, the energy is known as radiated interference. The interference source can be both a part of
the interfered system and a completely electrically isolated unit. Conducted interference results from the
electromagnetic wire or signal cable connection between the source and the sensitive component, along the cable the
interference conducts from one unit to another. Conducted interference often affects the power supply of the equipment,
but can be controlled by a filter. Radiated interference may affect any signal path in the equipment, and is difficult to
shield.
Effective measures should be taken for the power system to prevent the interference from the electric grid.
The working ground of the routers should be properly separated and kept as far as possible from the grounding
device of the power equipment or the anti-lightning grounding device.
Keep the equipment away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency
large-current device.
Measures must be taken to isolate static electricity.

3.5 Cautions during Construction
1. To avoid delay in the engineering progress, unpredictable problems during construction should be reported to the
engineering unit in good time, and solutions need to be provided to the unit for on-spot resolution.
2. Flaws in the engineering scheme observed during construction should be negotiated with the engineering unit in
time and settled properly.
3. To guarantee quality, construction in some sites or sections should be checked before acceptance in a phase-wise
and timely manner.
4. Make sure that power is off when installing or removing the power adapter or connecting cables to it. In the case of
the RG-PBOX, it means to disconnect the input cable.
5. If the RG-PBOX produces smoke, stink or noise, please remove the input cable immediately and contact the
distributor or service center.
6. When the RG-PBOX does not work, please contact the distributor or service center. Do not disassemble or modify
the device in any way. (Ruijie assumes no responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized modification or
