Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Caution: Service
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized
personnel shall render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RuggedCom Inc. could invalidate
specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Should this device require service, refer to Appendix D, Warranty in this guide.
Caution: Physical Access
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only
be gained by service personnel or users who have been instructed about the reasons
for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken;
and access is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security,
and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
The WiN7000 is a member of the RuggedMAX™ family, a line of mobile WiMAX broadband
wireless access systems based on the 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard. RuggedMAX systems
are designed for robustness and simplicity, offering feature-rich services with low deployment and
operation costs.
The WiN7000 base station is a cost-effective solution for wireless access services, designed for
point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access applications in varying conditions and locations.
The WiN7000 is a one-sector base station, supporting up to 800 subscriber units. Through the
addition of routing units, the system can be extended to as many sectors as required and can
support additional subscribers and bandwidths.
The base station communicates with fixed and mobile subscriber units, according to defined
service criteria and customer service level agreements. The WiN7000 also connects to the service
provider backbone, supporting end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.
The system uses OFDMA radio technology, providing robustness in adverse channel conditions
and enabling Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) operation. This improves coverage and maintains a high
level of spectral efficiency. Modulation and coding are continuously adapted to prevailing link
conditions, ensuring an optimal balance between robustness and efficiency. The use of STC/
MRC and MIMO radio technologies optimizes link performance, ensuring enhanced bandwidth
and service coverage.
The RuggedMAX WiN7000 is a full outdoor base station, designed for easy installation and
mounting on poles, street lamps, towers, or walls. The WiN7000 can be equipped with copper or
fibre network interfaces for flexible integration into the operator’s backbone.
The WiN7000 is supported by RuggedNMS™, RuggedCom’s comprehensive Network
Management System.
1.1. About this Guide
This installation guides describes the installation if the RuggedMAX™ WiN7000 High Power Base
Station.
This guide is intended for use by base station installers and operators, and assumes readers have
a working knowledge of WiMAX technologies and procedures. While some safety precautions
are reviewed here, it is assumed that installers are trained in safe installation practices. Users
unfamiliar with safe installation procedures, WiMAX technologies, and service procedures should
not rely on this manual for comprehensive guidance.
• Read this user manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.
• The base station and antenna must be installed by a professional installer.
• Do not exceed the described limits.
1.3.2. Power Supply Requirements
• The power supply unit should be a Class 2 power supply, safety-certified according to national
codes.
• Maximum output current should not exceed 5A.
• Maximum output voltage of the power supply should not exceed 60VDC.
• Minimum output voltage should not be below 42VDC.
• The disconnecting device is defined as the following:
• When connected to an AC/DC power supply, the appliance coupler of the AC/DC power
supply is regarded as the main disconnecting device for the base station.
• When connected to a DC battery power supply, a double pole circuit breaker, rated 10A
60VDC, is regarded as the main disconnecting device for the base station.
The unit is considered to be connected to a centralized DC power system, therefore the power line
should be grounded. The unit should be permanently connected to ground with 16AWG cable or
less. See the figures below for two methods of power grounding (from the UL 60950-1 standard;
according to UL 60950-22). When the unit is connected to a centralized DC Power System, the
"+" side of the supply should be grounded, as per UL60950-1 and UL 60950-22 requirements.
Install the equipment in accordance with the electrical code relevant to the country of installation,
such as the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70; the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC),
Part 1, CSA C22.1; and when applicable, the National Electrical Safety Code IEEE C2. Unless
marked or otherwise identified, the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data
Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75, also applies.
1.3.4. Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
The WiN7000 is compliant with the requirements set forth in CFR 47, section 1.1307, addressing
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in OET Bulletin 65. The
emitted radiation should be as little as possible. To achieve minimum RF exposure, install the
WiN7000 when it is configured not to transmit and set it to operational mode remotely, rather
than enabling transmission by the installer on-site. For maintenance of the WiN7000, or other
operations which require RF exposure, the exposure should be minimized in time and according
to the regulations set by the FCC or the regulations relevant to the country of installation.
1.3.5. Lightning Protection
When the WiN7000 is installed in an outdoor location, all indoor components (such as
Ethernet and power supply) should be connected through a lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning
that might strike the WiN7000 or its outdoor cables. Therefore, install the lightning
protector device indoors, as close as possible to the point where the cables enter
the building. The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors as long as the
cables that lead indoors are well protected from lightning between the protector and
the building entrance.
1.3.6. Power Cord Protection
Route all power supply cords so that people cannot walk on them or place objects on or against
them. Walking on the cords or placing objects on or against the cords can damage the cords.
1.3.7. Servicing
Do not open the cover of this product to attempt service unless instructed by a RuggedMAX
certified technician. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Removing the covers or
modifying any part of this device voids its warranty.
RuggedCom does not endorse or support the use of proprietary third-party outdoor cable
assemblies not supplied by RuggedCom.
Keep away from electric power lines.
You can be killed if the antennas are in close proximity to electric power lines. Carefully
read and follow all instructions in this manual. By nature of the installation, you may
be exposed to hazardous environments and high voltage. Use caution when installing
the outdoor system.
