xiii APCD-LM048-1.3

Warnings and Advisories

General Advisory
Installers, operators and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety requirements before they attempt to install or operate the EUM3006.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the public is not exposed to excessive Radio Frequency (RF) levels. The applicable regulations can be obtained from local authorities.
WARNING!
The EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem must be properly grounded. WaveRider assumes no liability for failure to adhere to this recommendation or to recognized general safety precautions.
:
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the EUM3006 must be fix-mounted outdoors to provide a separation distance of 30cm (1 foot) or more from all persons to satisfy RF exposure requirements. The distance is measured from the nearest point of the modem to the human body. It is recommended that the modem be installed in a location with minimal
pathway disruption by nearby personnel.

Important Safeguards

CAUTION: Do not open the EUM3006, since there are no user­serviceable parts inside and opening the EUM3006 will void its warranty. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
1. Read all these instructions before installing and operating the EUM3006.
2. Retain these instructions for future reference.
WARNING!
WARNING!
3. Heed all warnings on the EUM3006 and in these instructions.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use EUM3006 and PoE Injector near water.
6. Unplug EUM3006 and PoE Injector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean only with a damp cloth.
APCD-LM048-1.3 xiv
7. Use only attachments recommended by WaveRider.
8. The fins and metal casing protect the EUM3006 from overheating to ensure reliable operations. Do not cover the EUM3006 and PoE Injector. Do not place the EUM3006 or PoE Injector near or over a radiator, stove, heat register or other source of heat. Do not place the EUM3006 and PoE Injector in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. The EUM3006 has an outdoor temperature rating, so it can handle a much larger range of temperatures than the PoE injector. However, it is still possible to exceed the EUM3006 specifications by improper placement or ventilation.
9. Operate the EUM3006 only from a 48 VDC PoE Mode B power source.
10. Operate the PoE Injector only from a 100 - 250 VAC, single phase, 47-63 Hz AC power source. The PoE Injector is rated for indoor use only.
11. The PoE Injector is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, which will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. Route the AC Power-supply cord and Ethernet cables so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cord and cables at their plugs, convenience receptacles and the points where the cords exit the equipment.
13. Provide strain relief for cables near their connections. This is typically done by leaving a loop in the cable near the connection.
14. Ensure the system is properly grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
15. Do not locate the EUM3006 in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When installing outdoors, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
16. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the Ethernet cable from the PoE injector to the EUM3006 and unplug the PoE Injector from the wall outlet. If the Ethernet cable to the EUM3006 goes through a PoE Lightning Arrestor, then disconnect the inside Ethernet cable. This will power down the EUM3006.
17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this increases the risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Never push objects of any kind through openings in this wireless product as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the PoE Injector. The EUM3006 is an outdoor unit, but it is not submersible nor is it immune to all liquids.
19. Do not attempt to service this wireless product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
xv APCD-LM048-1.3
20. Unplug PoE Injector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into these products.
If the PoE Injector has been exposed to rain or water.
If the EUM3006 does not operate normally for an extended period of time when
following the operating instructions. Note that it is possible that Internet traffic can be slow even under normal operations due to network congestion and radio interference and fading and not as result of problems with the EUM3006.
When the EUM3006 or PoE Injector exhibit distinct changes in performance. This
may indicate a need for service.
21. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the WaveRider or with the same characteristics as the original part. Improper substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
22. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this wireless product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the wireless product is in proper operating condition.
23. Follow WaveRider recommendations when mounting the EUM3006 on a wall, roof, or tower.
:
24. Install the EUM3006 in compliance with local and national electrical codes. The following are the national codes. The installer is responsible for knowing the appropriate local codes.
In the United States, use the National Electrical Code (NEC);
In Canada, use the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1;
In other countries, use International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through 7.
25. Ensure that the EUM3006 is properly grounded by attaching a grounding cable to the bolt marked “GND” on the back of the EUM3006. Art. 820-40 of the NEC (US) provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the grounding cable(s) shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
