2 Safety Precautions

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

8

Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation and Reference Guide

Safety Precautions

power supply in case of an accident.

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 network cable 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

3 Installing the Device

Installing the Device

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. The device meets the customers’ requirements.
11

Wireless Bridge Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
3.3 Precautions

Installing the Device

The device can be mounted on a wall and a pole (diameter: 35 mm to 89 mm). 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 2.5mm at least. Otherwise, the device could fall down and cause injuries. When multiple bridges are installed at close range, in order to avoid interference between bridges, the horizontal distance between two bridges should be 2m and the vertical distance be 0.5m, or the horizontal angle of the two bridges should be greater than 120 degrees. The installation site can vary due to on-the-spot surveys conducted by technical personnel.
Please make full preparations as described in Chapter 2 and observe the following precautions before installing the device. Please use the 24 V/0.5 A PoE power adapter (Pin 4 and 5 connect to the positive post. Pin 7 and 8 connect
to the negative post) delivered with the device or use a power adapter of the same specification. The PoE adapter supports power supply over a 100-meter network cable(Cat5e/6/6a/7/8). Before connecting
the network cable, make sure that the power supply module is off. Make sure that the connector of the power module is fully seated.
