Security advice
Cambium Networks systems and equipment provide security parameters that can be configured by the
operator based on their operating environment. Cambium recommends setting and using these
parameters following industry recognized security practices. Security aspects to be considered are
protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and assets. Assets include the
ability to communicate, information about the nature of the communications, and information about the
parties involved.
In certain instances, Cambium makes specific recommendations regarding security practices, however
the implementation of these recommendations and final responsibility for the security of the system lies
with the operator of the system.

Important Notes
• For the warranty to be honored, install the unit in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
• Any changes or modifications of equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment and the warranty for such equipment.
• RFU-S is intended for installation in a restricted access location.
• RFU-S must be installed and permanently connected to protective earth by qualified service
personnel in accordance with applicable national electrical codes.
Safety Precautions & Declared Material
Public and Occupational Boundary Distances Under Article 3.1(a) of the RE
Directive
Based on the highest nominal output power of the RFU-S:
• The public exposure of compliance boundary distance is 4.8m.
• The occupational exposure of compliance boundary distance is 1.2m. This is the worst case for the
highest nominal output power, using 10-13 GHz frequency bands and antennas up to 1 ft. For all
other configurations, the compliance boundary distance is 0.
Note that even when the compliance boundary is a non-zero value, this only applies within the bore sight of the
antenna dish. Therefore, during work within and close to the front of the antenna, make sure the transmitters are
turned off. As long as the transmitters are turned off during any work on the system, the occupational exposure
limit is not of concern to workers operating in or around the parabolic dish antenna.
General Equipment Precautions
To avoid malfunctioning or personnel injuries, equipment or accessories/kits/plug-in unit
installation, requires qualified and trained personnel. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Cambium Networks could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Where special cables, shields, adapters and grounding kits are supplied or described in this
manual, these items must be used, to comply with the FCC regulations.

Anti Static
Caution
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein,
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When working with an RFU-S, note the following risk of electric shock and energy hazard:
Disconnecting one power supply disconnects only one power supply module. To isolate
the unit completely, disconnect all power supplies.
Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure level amounts to
70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.
Static electricity may cause body harm, as well as harm to electronic components inside
the device. Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the RFU-S must use
an ESD Wrist Strap. ESD protection measures must be observed when touching the unit.
To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device, all electrostatic must
be discharged from both personnel and tools.
In Norway and Sweden:
Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the
mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective earthing –
and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a
fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided
through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic
isolator, see EN 60728-11).
Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet utstyr
– og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette skal det ved
tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og
kabel- TV nettet.
Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk főr brand.
Főr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät galvanisk isolator
finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet.

Précautions générales relatives à l'équipement
L’utilisation de commandes ou de réglages ou l'exécution de procédures autres que celles
spécifiées dans les présentes peut engendrer une exposition dangereuse aux
rayonnements.
L’usage de RFU-S s’accompagne du risque suivant d'électrocution et de danger électrique :
le débranchement d'une alimentation électrique ne déconnecte qu'un module
d'alimentation électrique. Pour isoler complètement l'unité, il faut débrancher toutes les
alimentations électriques.
Bruit de machine d’ordre - 3. GPSGV, le plus haut niveau de pression sonore s'élève à 70
dB (A) au maximum, dans le respect de la norme ISO EN 7779.
Allgemeine Vorsichtsmaßnahmen für die Anlage
Wenn andere Steuerelemente verwendet, Einstellungen vorgenommen oder Verfahren
durchgeführt werden als die hier angegebenen, kann dies gefährliche Strahlung
verursachen.
Beachten Sie beim Arbeiten mit RFU-S das folgende Stromschlag- und Gefahrenrisiko:
Durch Abtrennen einer Stromquelle wird nur ein
Stromversorgungsmodul abgetrennt. Um die Einheit vollständig zu isolieren, trennen Sie
alle Stromversorgungen ab.
Maschinenlärminformations-Verordnung - 3. GPSGV, der höchste Schalldruckpegel beträgt
70 dB(A) oder weniger gemäß EN ISO 7779.
Pre-installation Instructions
Packing
The equipment must be packed and sealed in moisture absorbing bags.
Transportation and Storage
The equipment cases are prepared for shipment by air, truck, railway and sea, suitable for handling by
forklift trucks and slings. The cargo must be kept dry during transportation, in accordance with ETS 300
019-1-2, Class 2.3. For sea-transport, deck-side shipment is not permitted. Carrier-owned cargo
containers should be used.
phn-4755_002v006
Page 1-3
Note
It is recommended that the equipment be transported to the installation site in its original packing case.
If intermediate storage is required, the packed equipment must be stored in a dry and cool environment,
and out of direct sunlight, in accordance with ETS 300 019-1-1, Class 1.2.
Unpacking
The equipment is packed in sealed plastic bags and moisture absorbing bags are inserted. Any separate
sensitive product, i.e. printed boards, are packed in anti-static handling bags. The equipment is further
packed in special designed cases.
Marking is done according to standard practice unless otherwise specified by customers. The following
details should be marked:
• Customers address
• Contract No
• Site name (if known)
• Case No
Inspection
Check the packing lists and ensure that correct parts numbers quantities of goods have arrived. Inspect
for any damage on the cases and equipment. Please report any damage or discrepancy to Cambium
Networks support by e-mailing to support@cambiumnetworks.com.
System Components
The following figures show the main components used in the RFU-S installation procedures.
The availability of the installation components follows the RFU-S frequency rollout as
stated in the published roadmap.
The presence of a specific component in this manual does not indicate that it is available
for ordering. Please consult with your respective pre-sales engineer for specific
component availability.
RFU-S can be mounted directly for all frequencies (6-38 GHz) using the following antenna types (for
integrated antennas, specific antennas are required):
• Cambium CNT series
• CommScope: VHLP series
• Radiowave: HP series
For remote mount installations, the following Flexible Waveguide flanges should be used
(millimetric). The same antenna type (integrated) as indicated above can be used (recommended).
Other antenna types using the flanges listed in the table below may also be used.
