2 Safety Precautions
2.1 Safety Precautions
Note
To prevent device damage and physical injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations
described in this chapter.
The following safety suggestions do not cover all possible dangers.
2.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Do not expose the device to high temperature, dusts, or harmful gases. Do not install the device in an
inflammable or explosive environment. Keep the device away from EMI sources such as large radar stations,
radio stations, and substations. Do not subject the device to unstable voltage, vibration, and noises.
The installation site should be far away from the sea. Keep the device at least 500 meters away from the
seaside and do not face it toward the wind from the sea.
The installation site should be free from water flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation. The installation
site shall be selected according to network planning and features of communications device, and
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.
Caution
Please follow the correct methods described in the installation guide to install and remove the device.
2.1.2 Handling Safety
Prevent the device from being frequently handled.
Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the device.
2.1.3 Electric Safety
Warning
Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead
to severe and fatal personal injury and device damage.
Direct or indirect contact with high voltage or mains power supply via wet objects may cause fatal
dangers.
Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant
qualifications can perform such operations.
Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is
grounded, whether the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.
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.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Safety Precautions

Be sure to make a careful check before you shut down the power supply.
Do not place the device in a damp/wet location. Do not let any liquid enter the device.
Keep the device far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices of power device.
Keep the device away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current
devices.
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
To ensure normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the device, the installation site must meet the following
requirements.
2.2.1 Environment Requirements
Install the device in a well-ventilated environment. If it is installed in a closed room, make sure there is a good
cooling system.
Make sure the site is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories.
Make sure the site has enough space for installing the device and leave sufficient space around the device
for ventilation.
2.2.2 Lightning Protection Requirements
When the connection cable between the main grounding conductor and local equipotential earthing terminal
board (LEB) on each floor is shorter than 2 meters, use a stranded copper wire with a sectional area not less
than 1.318 mm2(16 AWG) for the connection cable.
Use a shielded networkcable if possible, ensure that devices connected to both ends of the shielded network
cable are reliably grounded, and make sure that the sheath of the shielded network cable is also grounded if
possible. If no shielded network cable is available, wire the network cable through a steel pipe and bury the
steel pipe for lead-in, and properly ground both ends of the steel pipe.
No additional lightning protector is required as a high-profile lightning protector is built in the device and the
antenna port and power port support 4kV lightning protection. If a lightning protector of a higher profile is
available, configure the lightning protector optionally. Before the configuration,connect the lightning protector
to the ground cable.
2.2.3 Temperature/ Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the device, maintain an appropriate temperature
and humidity in the equipment room.. The equipment room with too high or too low temperature and humidity
for a long period may damage the device.
In an environment with high 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.
In an environment with low humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, and static electricity is prone to
occur and damage the internal circuits of the device.
In an environment with high temperature, the device 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.

Keep the device far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices of power device.
Keep the device far away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current
devices.

Caution
Before installing the device, make sure you have carefully read the requirements described in Chapter 2.
3.1 Installation Procedure
3.2 Preparing
Carefully plan and arrange the installation location, networking mode, power supply, and cabling before
installation. Confirm the following requirements before installation:
The installation position provides sufficient space for heat dissipation.
The installation position meets the temperature and humidity requirements of the device.
The power supply and required current are available in the installation position.
The selected power supply modules meet the system power requirement.
The network cables have been deployed in the installation position.
The installation site meets all described requirements.

3.3 Precautions
The device can be mounted on a wall and a pole (diameter: 35 mm to 89 mm/1.38 in. to 3.50 in.). If the diameter
of the pole is out of the range, the hose clamp is customer-supplied. In this case, we strongly recommend you
to use a hose clamp with thickness of 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) at least. Otherwise, the device could fall down and cause
injuries.
Please make full preparations as described in Chapter 2 and observe the following precautions before installing
the device.
Use the 12 V DC/1 Apower adapter or 12 V/1 A PoE adapter provided or a power adapter of the same
specification. When using the PoE power adapter, make sure that Pin 4 and 5 are connected to the positive
posts, and Pin 7 and 8 are connected to the negative posts. Noted that a power adapter of different
specifications is not allowed.
Make sure that the connector of the power module is fully seated.
3.4 Mounting the Device
Caution
It is recommended to install the device where you can get the optimal coverage.
The image shown here is for indicative purpose only. The actual product may differ.
3.4.1 Wall Mounting
Use the mounting template to mark where the holes need to be drilled. Then, drill the holes and insert screws
into each hole. Mount the device onto the screws to securely hang it in place.
Note
To mount the device on a wall, prepare two screws (M4 25 kA screws are recommended) by yourself. Make
sure the nuts are 8-9mm away from the wall.
Figure 3-1 Wall Mounting
3.4.2 Pole Mounting
Thread the cable ties through the bracket at the back of the device, and pull the cable ties tight to secure the
device to the pole.

3.5 Connecting Cables
Note
The bridge must be installed outdoors, while the DC power adapter and the passive PoE injector must be
installed indoors.
Use or make a network cable of suitable length based on the distance between RG-EST100-E and the
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), server, or camera. Please note that the device supports PoE power
supply through a network cable of up to 100 meters (CAT5E or higher).
Plug one end of the cable into the PoE port of the PoE adapter and plug the other end into the LAN1/PoE
port of the device. Connect the LAN port of the PoE adapter to the server or camera. Plug the PoE adapter
into 220 V power socket.
Or you can connect the DC port of the device to the 12 VDC adapter, and connect the LAN port of the
device to the server or camera.
