General

IMPORTANT: FOR THE EFFICIENCY AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR owa450 MODULE READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE!
Care must be taken when handling the unit. Only staff authorized by Owasys can dismantle the product. If the product is dismantled by non-authorized people and/or ESD precautions are not taken the warranty is not valid. Do not push objects into the connectors of your device. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by short-circuiting.
If the product is subject to severe conditions beyond the limits specified in the Technical Specifications, the product could be damaged. Keep the device away from radiators and heat sources. The device may become hot during normal operation, so switch it off and wait for a while before handling it. Do not clean the device when powered up. Clean it with a soft cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances. Use only approved batteries to avoid the risk of explosion. The use of an incorrect type of battery may cause an explosion.

owa450 connections

An external fuse should be included in the positive Vin supply with a rating of 2A (to protect the cables and input circuitry in case of a faulty condition if the external power supply has no short circuit protection below 3A). The highest internal voltage applied to the owa450 unit can be 48Vdc and complies with the Low Voltage European Directive. The power supply can be made with a battery or continuous voltage supply with reinforced isolation. Before you connect the device to an electrical outlet, check the voltage and current rating to ensure that the required ones match the available power source. Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to owa450. To remove the device from all power sources turn the device off and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Be sure that nothing rests on the connected cables and that the cables are not located where they can be tripped over or stepped on. Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to owa450. Read owa450 Family Integrators Manual carefully before connecting any load to the outputs. If there is any uncertainty, please contact Owasys Customer Support. Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for the intended environment.
Keeping cables as short as possible is recommended.

Exposure to RF Energy

The antenna(s) and device must be installed in such a position that a minimum separation of 33cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna(s)) and the human body. Those installations not complying with this statement are responsible for providing SAR measurement reports and corresponding declarations Do not hold the antenna during a call since it affects call quality and can cause the module to operate at a higher power level than needed. If you are concerned about RF energy exposure try to minimize exposure by limiting the duration of GSM calls and operating the unit efficiently.

Antennas care and replacement.

Do not use the product with a damaged antenna because when the antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace the antenna immediately.
Only use antennas according to the technical specifications. Antennas that do not fulfill the specifications, could damage the product and may contravene local RF emissions regulations or invalidate its fulfillment. Compliance tests for certifications have been performed with ANT100_9100 and ANT100_9101 official accessories.

Electronic devices

Most electronic devices are shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may cause some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic devices. In case the product is mounted in a vehicle, check your vehicle to determine that all onboard electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy. In the same way, in case that the product is in the proximity of medical devices (hospitals,..) check the manufacturer of medical equipment to determine if they are properly shielded. This equipment should not be operated on an aircraft.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn the unit OFF in these areas or in areas posted “turn off your two way radio”. Construction workers often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Handling the device

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to owa450:

•  When setting up the device for work, place it on a level surface.
•  Protect the device from environmental hazards such as extreme temperatures and overexposure to sunlight.
•  When you move your device between environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. To avoid damaging it, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the device.
• When taking the device from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the device to acclimate to room temperature before turning on the power.
•  When disconnecting a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

For owa450 including battery backup

These models include the optional battery backup of lithium-ion. Do not dispose of the battery along with the household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site. The battery poses a burn hazard if you disassemble or handle it improperly. If the battery is damaged, electrolytes may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury. Keep the battery away from children. When the battery is heated to excessive temperatures, its cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire. Use only approved batteries to avoid the risk of explosion. The use of an incorrect type of battery may cause an explosion.
