Safety and Regulatory Information
Safety Information
The following safety warnings and cautions are listed to prevent damage to equipment or property and
prevent any risk of personal injury.
RF Exposure
Warning: This equipment complies with European, FCC and Canadian radiation exposure limits
set forth for an occupational/ controlled environment. The Remote Unit should be operated with
a minimum distance of 20cm (8 in) between antenna and your body
Installation
Caution: Incorrect installation, operation, and use of this equipment may causefailure to
product and could cause accidents which may harm personnel.
Caution: Optical Module must ONLY be installed on the front panel of a Primary Hub or the unit
will not function as expected.
Warning: The Remote Unit should be installed in Restricted Access Locations only
where the maximum ambient operating temperature is 50degC. If the Remote Unit is
installed in an Operator Access Area, then the maximum ambient operating
temperature must be de-rated to 45degC.
Warning: This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by an
installer approved by an ISED licensee (Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada). You MUST have an ISED LICENCE or the express consent of
an ISED licensee to operate this device.
Signal and Input Power
Warning: If the service module is connected directly to the output of a BTS or any RF
input source, maximum power delivered to a service module must not exceed 15dBm
(damage level is 22dBm). Use additional equipment to attenuate the power.
Caution: The input power to the Zinwave Remote Unit should not exceed -10dBm. Power
levels greater than +10dBm will damage the unit
Caution: The total broadband composite output power of the 305-0007 Remote Unit is
limited to +18 dBm in Europe and +20 dBm in the USA and Canada.
The maximum allowed composite EIRP inthe USA & Canada is +28 dBm which
corresponds to an antenna gain of 8 dBi except for the following bands where restrictions
apply:
•Maximum radiated power in the 653 to 663 MHz band is +13dBm (20mW) EIRP
•Maximum antenna port power in the 2345 –2360 MHz band is 16 dBm
Contact Zinwave for the maximum output power in other regions.
Caution: The total broadband composite output power of the 306-0007 Remote Unit is
limited to +22 dBm in Europe.
Contact Zinwave for the maximum output power in other regions.

Caution: Alarm Relays on the Hubs and Remote Unit are intended for low voltage/current
signaling only. Maximum operating voltage 50V, maximum operating current 1A.
CAUTION :
DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING
The Power Supply Module in the Secondary Hub 305-0004 and 306-0004 has
multiple sources and may include a fuse in the Neutral AC connection. After
operation of the fuse, parts of the equipment that remain energized might represent
a hazard during servicing.
Fiber Considerations
Caution: Avoid dust ingress to fiber connectors by mounting the Remote Unit with the fiber
connector facing downwards, or by leaving the dust-caps in place until the fiberis connected.
Caution: Connector types must match (i.e. SC-APC to SC-APC). Otherwise, there will be an
air gap between the connector faces that will create highback reflection and high optical loss.
Caution: Zinwave hardware ONLY supports SINGLE Mode Fiber.
Caution: Fiber handling procedures should be carefully observed so as not to damage or
introduce dirt to fiber interfaces during installation.
Caution: Observe safety precautions when working with fiber cables and devices.

Optical Safety Precautions
Warning: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution: Do not remove the fiber Port dust covers unless the port is in use. Donot stare
directly into a fiber Port.
Caution: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap.
Caution: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the fiber.
Caution: Use only approved methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.
Caution: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optical system.
Caution: No warning signs are required as it is a Class 1 hazard.
Caution: Use Class 1 test equipment.
Software Installation
Caution: When new firmware is being installed it is very important not to break or interrupt
the connection between source file and the Hub. Interrupting firmware installation may put
the Hub into an irrecoverable state that requires factory reset.
Caution: While the system can be configured with poor optical links present, this may affect
the system performance and such links should be examined and brought into specification
in order to obtain optimum performance.
