Regulatory Compliance

General 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.

FCC - Compliance

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 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 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.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance (RADWIN Ltd.) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor
antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those
antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other

Warning

Caution

than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to
FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.

Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate
government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product
warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and
financial liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable
for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation
of outdoor units or antennas. The installer should configure the output
power level of antennas according to country regulations and antenna type.

The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 232 cm from all persons and must not be co­located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Warning

RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2e iii

This product was tested with special accessories - indoor unit (IDU or
PoE), FTP Cat 5e shielded cable with sealing gasket, 12 AWG grounding
cable - which must be used with the unit to insure compliance.

Warning

Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:

(1) These devices may not cause harmful interference.
(2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

Canadian Emission Requirements for Indoor Units

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numẻrique de la classe B est conforme ả la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Safety Practices

Applicable requirements of National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70; and the National
Electrical Safety Code, ANSI/IEEE C2, must be considered during installation.

NOTES:

1. A Primary Protector is not required to protect the exposed wiring as long as the exposed
wiring length is limited to less than or equal to 140 feet, and instructions are provided to
avoid exposure of wiring to accidental contact with lightning and power conductors in
accordance with NEC Sections 725-54 (c) and 800-30.

In all other cases, an appropriate Listed Primary Protector must be provided. Refer to Articles
800 and 810 of the NEC for details.

2. For protection of ODU against direct lightning strikes, appropriate requirements of NFPA
780 should be considered in addition to NEC.

3. For Canada, appropriate requirements of Section 60 of the CEC 22.1should be considered
as applicable.
