Compliance
General
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could void the user’s authority to
operate the system.
NOTE: This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The
frequency bands in which the system operates may be ‘unlicensed’ and, in these bands, the system
can be used provided it does not cause interference. Further, it is not guaranteed protection against
interference from other products and installations.
1
The system has been tested for compliance to both US (FCC) and European (ETSI) specifications. It
has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device
1
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA and appropriate European ENs. These limits have
,
been designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference. However the equipment
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 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 more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
• Increase the separation between the affected equipment and ODU.
• Connect the ODU/PIDU into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult your installer or supplier for help.
Deployment and Operation
The Radio Regulations of various countries’ limits constrain the operation of radio products generally.
In particular the local regulator may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter power and
may require registration of the radio link.
The power transmitted by the PTP 500 Series Bridge is controlled by the use of Region-specific
License Keys.
The following examples show how the regulatory limits apply in some specific countries at the current
time. Operators should note that regulations are subject to change.
Contact your supplier/installer to ensure that your product is set for the correct License Key for your
Country/Region and to ensure that you have fulfilled all the local regulatory requirements, especially if
you are intending to use a link with external antennas. Notes below the tables indicate countries
where registration of the link is currently mandatory.

2 Avoiding Hazards
2 Avoiding Hazards
2.1 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy
WARNING: To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install the radios for the 500 family
of PTP wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances
from all persons as shown in Table 3.
When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF
fields are present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be deployed
in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the
antenna.
At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below
generally accepted limits for the general population.
NOTE: These are conservative distances that include compliance margins.
2.1.1 Calculations for Separation Distances and Power Compliance Margins
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:
• US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov
• Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at
• EN 50383:2002 Basic standard for the calculation and measurement of electromagnetic
and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, as well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC

• At 5.4GHz and EU 5.8GHz, the products are generally limited to a fixed EIRP which can
be achieved with the Integrated Antenna. The calculations above assume that the
maximum EIRP allowed by the regulations is being transmitted.
• If there are no EIRP limits in the country of deployment, use the distance calculations for
FCC 5.8GHz.
• At FCC 5.8GHz, for antennas between 0.6m (2ft) and 1.8m (6ft), alter the distance
proportionally to the antenna gain.

3.1 For Your Safety
WARNING: Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
WARNING: Use extreme care when working at heights.
WARNING: The Outdoor Unit (ODU) for the PTP 500 Series Bridge must be properly
grounded to protect against lightning. In the USA and Canada it is the user’s responsibility to
install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes
describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding
electrodes. Other regulations may apply in different countries and therefore it is
recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer.
3 Getting Started
WARNING: The ODU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge must be grounded to a Protective Earth
in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.
WARNING: It is recommended that the supplied Power Indoor Plus (PIDU Plus) – PTP
300/500/600 Series is used to power the PTP 500 Series Bridge ODU. The use of other
power sources may invalidate safety approval and affect your warranty.
WARNING: When using alternative DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in terminals as
described in Section 3.3.3 “Redundancy and Alternative Powering Configurations”), such as
battery-backed DC power source, the supply MUST comply with the following requirements:
• The voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the PIDU Plus
• The power source is rated as SELV
• The power source is rated to supply at least 1A continuously
• The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL6090, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA)
WARNING: Users and installers should note that the main power supply is the primary
disconnect device.
WARNING: Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for
connections that will be exposed to the weather.
WARNING: Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one
supplied by Motorola as part of the system.

3.3 Product Description
This User Manual is specifically written for the 500 family of point-to-point broadband wireless
solutions. The PTP 500 Series Bridge has been developed to provide Point-to-Point data
connectivity via a 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz wireless Ethernet bridge operating at broadband data
rates. The PTP 500 Series Bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications. An example
application is an enterprise that has a requirement to connect together the Local Area
Network (LAN) of two or more buildings as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Typical PTP 500 Series Bridge Deployment
The PTP 500 Series Bridge offers true non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation by using a
combination of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and Multiple-
Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques. These technologies enable the PTP 500 Series
Bridge to drive through foliage and around buildings to such an extent that almost universal
coverage can be expected at short range.
A PTP 500 Series Bridge system consists of a pair of identical devices that are deployed one
at each end of the link. At installation, the user sets up one unit as the Master and the other
as the Slave. Either unit can be configured as Master or Slave.
27
3 Getting Started
Each end of the link consists of:
• An integrated (or connectorized - see section 13) outdoor transceiver unit containing all
the radio and networking electronics hereafter referred to as the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
• An indoor connection box containing a mains power supply, status indicators and network
connection port. Hereafter referred to as the Power Indoor Unit Plus (PIDU Plus).
A pair of units is normally supplied pre-configured as a link.
The network connection to a PTP 500 Series Bridge is made via a 100BaseT Ethernet
connection. Power is provided to the ODU over the 100BaseT Ethernet connection using a
patented non-standard powering technique.
Power is fed into the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus from the mains via a standard “figure
of eight” mains plug. Connection between the ODU and PIDU Plus is made using standard
CAT5e outdoor UV resistant cable. Connection between the PIDU Plus and the Network
Equipment is made using standard CAT5e cable.
3.3.1 The Outdoor Unit (ODU)
The ODU is a self-contained unit. It houses both radio and networking electronics. The ODU
for the PTP 500 Series Bridge should only be deployed using the supplied PTP 300/500/600
Series Bridge PIDU Plus. Figure 2 shows an installation example of a PTP 500 Series ODU.
