1.7Electrical Safety

WARNING

To prevent loss of life or physical injury, observe the safety guidelines in this section.

Power lines: Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.

Working at heights: Use extreme care when working at heights.

Grounding: 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.

Protective earth: The ODU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge must be grounded to a Protective Earth in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.

PIDU Plus: 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.

5

1 About This User Guide

Cable measuring card: A cable measuring card must NEVER be used at the ODU end connected to power from the PIDU Plus. It must only be used at the bottom of the mast with a multimeter. This is because the PIDU Plus voltage exceeds the limit allowed in some countries for safe handling in wet conditions and therefore may create a safety hazard.

Alternative DC supplies: When using alternative DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in terminals as described in Section 2.8 “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)

Primary disconnect device: The main power supply is the primary disconnect device.

External cables: Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for connections that will be exposed to the weather.

Non-Motorola power supply: Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one supplied by Motorola as part of the system.

1.8RF Safety

WARNING

To protect from overexposure to RF energy, observe the safety guidelines in this section.

1.8.1 RF Exposure Near the Antenna

Minimum separation distance: Install the radios for the PTP 500 family of PTP wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons. The minimum separation distances for each frequency variant are specified in Section 1.8.4 “Calculated Distances and Power Compliance Margins”.

Avoid standing in front of the antenna: 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.

1.8.2 Limits and Guidelines for RF Exposure

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, 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 OET Bulletin 65.

•Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/99ehd-dhm237/limits-limites_e.html and Safety Code 6.

•EN 50383:2002 Basic standard for the calculation and measurement of electromagnetic field strength and SAR related to human exposure from radio base stations and fixed terminal stations for wireless telecommunication systems (110 MHz - 40 GHz).

•ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for the general public. See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.

1.8.3 Power Density Exposure Limit

The applicable power density exposure limit from the documents referenced above is:

•10 W/m2 for RF energy in the 2.4-, 5.2-, 5.4-, 5.8- and 5.9 GHz frequency bands.

Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:

Equation 1 - Peak power density in the far field

S =	P.G	Where	S	power density in W/m2
	4πd 2		P=	Maximum Average transmit power capability of the radio, in
			G=	total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB
			d	distance from point source, in m

Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields:

d = P.G

1.8.4 Calculated Distances and Power Compliance Margins

Table 3 shows calculated minimum separation distances d, recommended distances and resulting power compliance margins for each frequency band and antenna combination.

These are conservative distances that include compliance margins. At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below generally accepted limits for the general population.

				6ft Dish		(25 dBm)						(38 dBi)

NOTE

The regulations require that the power used for the calculations is the maximum power in the transmit burst subject to allowance for source-based time-averaging.

At 5.4 GHz and EU 5.8 GHz, 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 5.8 GHz for all frequency bands.

At FCC 5.8 GHz, for antennas between 0.6m (2ft) and 1.8m (6ft), alter the distance proportionally to the antenna gain.

1.9Compliance with Regulations

1.9.1 General

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could void the user’s authority to operate the system.

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.

CAUTION

When planning a link that will use Connectorized PTP 500 Series bridges (with external antennas), ensure that regulatory requirements are met for the installation, as described in Section 10.5 “Regulatory Issues with Connectorized Units”.

1.9.2 FCC and ETSI Compliance Testing

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, 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.

NOTE

A Class B Digital Device is a device that is marketed for use in a residential environment, notwithstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments.
