2.Periodically check whether the installed MSR4000 is damaged, worn-out or poses any
danger. Any actual proof, sign, or phenomenon of the afore-mentioned situations should be
brought to the attention of the company at the point of sale. Please DO NOT attempt to
repair the product or replace any component. The company shall not be liable for any
consequence arising out of or relating to the users’ attempt to repair the product, including
but not limited to damages, disuse, short circuit, fire, bodily injury, etc.
3. Users shall purchase or use the company’s MSR4000 voluntarily. Users shall understan d
on their own initiative and abide voluntarily by polici es, regulat ions , or laws of their respective
nation or local territories. The consequence arising out of or relati ng to any violation of the
local laws or regulations by the user shall be solely attributed to the user himself, and t he
company shall not be liable.
4. The company disclaims any and all warranties and guarantees, express, implied or
otherwise, arising, with respect to the MSR4000 products or services, including but not
limited to the warranty of merchandisa bility, the warranty of fitness for a part icular purpose,
and any warranty of non-infringement of the intellectual property rights of any third party.

Liability of the company for loss is limited to the total amount paid to the company by the
customer during the previous calendar year. The company will have no obligation or liability,
whether arising in contract (including Warranty), tort (including active, passive or imputed
negligence, strict liability or product liability) or otherwise for any special, incidental,
consequential, or indirect damages including but not limited to loss of use, loss of data,
business interruption, loss of revenue , loss of business, or other financial los s arising out of
or in connection with any of the products or other goods or services furnished by the
company under this manual, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
5.It shall never be understood that this manual expresses or implies to any customer or
any third party authority or transfer of any rights. The company reserves fully the final
interpretation of the MSR4000 and this manual.
Safety Warnings
The MSR4000 must be installed by trained professionals or installation technicians. All
warnings below must be read and understood before installation.
General Safety Warnings
You can be killed or injured if performing antenna installation near electrical
power lines. Carefully read and follow all inst ructions in this guide. Please be sure t here
are no high voltage and electronic fields nearby.
Working Aloft Warning
When working on tower or roof, i ndividuals must wear safety belts. Tools must
be tied to the individual using them. Workers below must wear safety helmets.
Lightning Activity Warning
Make sure not to connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
A surge protective device should be installed to prevent potential damage from very high
surges, for instance, the peak surges caused by lightning.
2 MSR4000 Installation Guide
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Do not operate wireless network devices close to explosive merchandise or in
explosive environments if devices are not certifi ed for operation in such an e nvironment ,
for example, in the vicinity of a gas station
Antenna Placement Warning
.
Do not install any antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light, or
where the antenna can come into contact with such circuits.
Antenna Selection Warning
Use the DC grounding antenna with lightning protection to prevent surge and
static electricity.
Grounding Warning
Always remember to protect your MSR4000 system by installation of grounding
lines. The ground connection must be complete before connecting power to the
MSR4000 enclosure. The requirement of grounding is to make sure the resistance
between the ground termination point and the gro unding tier is less than 5 ohm.
Power Installation Warning
The installation of the power switch must be performed by a trained prof essional
technician.
The power switch is not supplied with the MSR4000. The power cord must be
assembled by a professional installer, and the final assembly must comply with related
requirements.
MSR4000 Installation Guide 3
Solar Radiation and High Temperature Protection
Pay attention to the level of sunlight. This could cause an increase in the working
temperature of the MSR4000. Make sure the work ing temperature of the MSR4000 is
not higher than the specifications listed in this document.
A solar shield is provided in the Aruba standard package and should be installed to
protect any outdoor MSR4000. The Aruba Warrantee policy does not cover those
outdoor products for which solar shields are not installed. Please contact Aruba
technical support engineers for detailed inf ormation.
RF Device Protection
Before powering up the MSR4000, we recommend that the RF ports are
connected to antennas or valid loads. RF modules wit h less than 100mW power may
work in a test environment without antennas or load connect ions, provided the duration
of operation is less than 30 minutes.
Protection on unused RF module
The unused RF interface must be closed via configuration command and its protect ive
cap must be wrapped up by waterproof PV C tape to prevent it from falling off. Otherwise,
the RF module may be damaged. Aruba will not take any responsibility for such damage.
FCC Certificate
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
REMINDER
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operati on is subject t o the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operati on.
4 MSR4000 Installation Guide
NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interf erence to radio or televisio n
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or m ore of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Precautions
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits
based on that human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 34cm during normal
operation.
IC notice
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the ant enna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated po wer (EIRP) i s not more than that permitted
for successful communication.
