be enhanced if the environmental conditions are less severe than those listed in
this manual.
2.1.2 Maintenance
The 9150 has no internal option switches and does not require physical access; all
configuration settin gs are done remotely (see Chapter 3: “9150 Main Configuration”). Environmental and radio communication considerations do still apply.
2.1.3 Power And Antenna Cables
To prevent accidental disconnection and stress on the 9150, antenna and power
cables should be secured within 30 cm of the unit. Secure the cables with ties to
the cable tie mounts on the 9150 (see Figure 2.1 on page 17). A single phase power
outlet (range 100 to 240 VA C rated 1.0A minimum) should be installed within one
metre (3.1 feet) of the 9150. The 9150 automatically adjusts to i nput within that
power range. The power cable is removable and is available in the power type specific to your location.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective grounding
conductor must always be connected to ground.
