4. Important Safety and Service Notices Read this FW-300i System Installation Guide and follow all operating and safety instructions.

You must use a qualified professional installer who is experienced with installing telecommunications equipment and networks to install the FW-300i system. Installations must adhere to the information and specifications within this FW-300i System Installation Guide.

4.1. Safety Warnings

WARNING!

Follow all health and safety procedures and recommendations made by BLiNQ Networks within this FW-300i System Installation Guide. Failure to do so could result in injury, death, or damage to the equipment.

The product-marketing label indicates the power requirements. Do not exceed the described limits.

Each module’s power supply must have a resettable circuit breaker rated to a maximum of 20 Amps.

Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Disconnect the power before cleaning.

Disconnect the power when the module is stored for long periods.

Do not locate the FW-300i near power lines or other electrical power circuits.

The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and accumulated static electricity. It is your responsibility to install this device in accordance with the local electrical codes.

4.2. Important Service and Warranty Information

Keep all product information for future reference.

Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Do not remove the covers or modify any part of the FW-300i system, as this action will void the warranty.

In the European market, the FW-300i system equipment is Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

(WEEE) certified ( ), contact your sales distributor for information on the collection, recycling and recovery of this equipment.

Be sure to do the following upon unpacking the FW-300i system:

Locate the label on the module casing that lists the Serial Number (SN) and Media Access Control (MAC) address for the module (Figure 4.1 FW-300i Casing Labels)

Record the SN for future reference

!



Record the MAC address for future reference when provisioning the system

4.3. Overvoltage (Lightning/Surge) Protection

WARNING!

A qualified professional installer must install the wireless equipment. The installer must follow local and national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed.

All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages and serious injury. Reasons for lightning damage can be summarized as follows:

Poorly grounded antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment.

Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from lightning induced currents.

An overvoltage protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter the earth without passing through and damaging parts of a structure. An overvoltage protection system does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction.

A good grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning strike away from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the cable can be directed safely to ground through a lightning/surge arrestor in series with the cable.

!

Figure 4.1 FW-300i Casing Labels



The FW-300i system is designed with consideration for resistance to the effects of lightning on the access point electronics. When installing a lightning/surge arrestor for your system installation, observe the following general industry practices:

Install lightning/surge protection with all power cables as close to the unit as possible.

The grounding wire must be connected to the same termination point used for the tower or mast.

Provide direct grounding from the FW-300i, the mounting bracket and surge protection to the same ground bus on the building.

Note: The warranty does not cover damage from lightning strikes. Failure to follow the surge protection recommendations outlined in this manual nullifies the warranty in the event that damage is found to have been caused by lightning or an excessive power surge.

6. Site Preparation Prior to installation, the designated installation sites should be appraised to determine that the FW-300i is able to operate efficiently and also to determine the components needed for installation.

6.1. Choosing a Site

Here are some points to keep in mind when choosing a site for installation:

1) Structural Stability – Ensure that the tower/pole is capable of handling expected winds. 2) That the wall/pole/tower is strong enough to hold the weight of the unit(s) (including accounting

for wind loading, especially when more than one unit is being installed on the same wall/pole/tower,

3) No impeding body within the immediate vicinity of the FW-300i, over its 180 degree horizon. 4) Keep in mind that radiating bodies near or within coverage of the site could cause interference. 5) Height of Installation

The height at which the FW-300i unit is to be installed depends on one’s intended coverage area. It is recommended to use a planning tool in advance to plan out how much height is required to meet your coverage needs.

6.2. Site Survey BLiNQ Networks strongly advises that you perform a comprehensive site survey before installation to determine the optimum FW-300i orientation and identify any potential source of interference.

Here are some of the items one should look out for while surveying the site for installation:

6.2.1. Power Source

A. Determine how and where the power source is coming from. B. Decide/determine if the FW-300i unit is going to be powered by AC or DC power source. If

you are powering by an AC source, BLiNQ Networks Inc. provides a 10m extension cable along with the FW-300i unit.

C. If an extension cable is needed for DC source, measure the distance between the power source to where the FW-300i unit is going to be installed to determine the length of the power cable needed (max. 10m).

a. Please refer to Section 8.5.4 for extension cable preparation.

6.2.2. Ethernet Connection

A. Ensure the availability of Ethernet connection B. If an extension is needed, measure the length and procure the appropriate CAT5e or CAT6

cables (max. 100m).



6.3. Pole Installation Preparation The diameter of the pole needs to be measured to determine which U-bolt will be suitable for mount installation.

IF THE DIAMETER OF THE POLE IS LESS THAN 2.5in.

Use the short U-Bolts (3/8in.-16, 4 5/8in. #BQH00171) along with the spacers (#BQF00165) to install the pole mount.

IF THE DIAMETER OF THE POLE IS BETWEEN 2.5in. – 6in.

Use the long U-Bolts (3/8in.-16, 8 5/8in. #BQH00156) to install the pole mount.

6.4. Wall Mount Installation Preparation

Identify an area on the wall that meets the safety, space and environmental requirements for the FW-300i.

Keep in mind that a power source and an ethernet connection are required for the proper functioning of the unit.

Note the material of the wall and prepare the appropriate drilling tools.



7. Installation Requirements

7.1. Installation Tools Required The following table lists all the screws, bolts and nuts that you might encounter during installation. Please prepare the necessary tool(s) for each item.

NOTE: Take a look at Table 3 Recommended Torque Values in Section 8.1, “Recommended Torque Values” to ensure that the wrenches and screwdrivers used have the suitable range of torque.

8.2. Installing Power Supply Kit (Optional)

The installation of the power supply kit is optional. You only need to install the kit if you do NOT have a direct -48 Vdc power supply. The power supply kit allows you to convert from another power source (i.e., North America: 120 Volts, European: 220 Volts) to -48 Vdc.

If you choose this method: always ensure that the AC cable is accessible from the top of the power supply kit and the DC output cable is at the bottom.

Required parts:

Universal AC/DC Power Supply Kit

2 Socket Head Cap Screws and Washers (#BQH00160 and #BQH00159)

To attach the power supply kit onto FW-300i follow these steps:

1. Place the power supply bracket on the back of the FW-300i unit, in the lower center position. Align the two holes so that they are centered with the holes on the back of the module enclosure.

2. Place a lock washer on each of the mounting holes.



3. Thread, by hand, each of the screw into the mounting holes. Ensure that the holes on the mounting bracket and the holes on the back of the FW-300i unit are aligned.

4. Use the socket wrench to lightly tighten the two screws (do not over tighten). Use the torque wrench to evenly tighten down the two screws and finish the installation of the power supply bracket to the unit (do not over tighten). Follow the Torque setting from Table 3 Recommended Torque Values

8.3. FW-300i Unit Installation It is recommended that you:

Pre-configure units in the warehouse then deploy. Please refer to the FW-300i User Guide for configuration instructions.

Record Serial number, MAC, location for each radio

8.3.1. Installing Pole Mount

1. Find the proper U-bolt size based on the pole size. (as determined in Section 6.3 “Pole Installation Preparation”)

2. Remove the washers and nuts from the U-bolts and save them for later installation.

3. Take the bracket plates (#BQF00158) and place the U-bolts on one of the plates as shown below.

Figure 8.4 U-Bolts with Washers and Nuts Removed



4. Assemble the plates onto the pole as shown in the following figures. Align the plates with the pole in between them, making sure that the U-bolts fit right through the second plate.

5. While holding the plates paralleled to each other, screw the washers and nuts onto U-bolts and gradually apply torque until the plates are firmly mounted on the pole. The bracket must not rotate if force applied. Make sure that the plates are tightly clamped onto the pole and parallel to each other as shown in the figure below.

The minimum amount of torque required for the 3/8 in. hex bolts is 7.3Nm. Depending on the pole’s material, size and condition, the amount of torque needed to secure the bracket plates may differ. Please evaluate if the bracket provides a snag fit to the pole and adjust/improve by adding more torque if required.

NOTE: Torque must be applied slowly and evenly across all four bolts (going in circles) until torque is reached. If you apply torque to one and start the second bolt, it will be difficult to keep the bracket plates parallel and the thread could be damaged.

8.4.1. Grounding and Lightning Protection

Ensure that you externally ground the FW-300i system. Two grounding screws with a two-hole lug are provided on the side of the unit enclosure for this purpose. Connect the ground lug to the main ground to safeguard against possible lightning strikes.

Further, to ensure the survivability of the indoor or outdoor connecting equipment from a lightning strike, BLiNQ Networks recommends either installing the lightning/surge arrester that is sold separately by BLiNQ Networks, or another suitable third-party arrester unit. This helps to provide an equipment site that is properly grounded and protected from electrical surges.

WARNING!

The FW-300i unit MUST be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground cable (minimum 6 AWG) before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or a qualified electrician if you are uncertain whether suitable grounding (or shielding from electrical surge) is available.

Lightning/surge arresters MUST be grounded to work properly and may only be connected and installed by a qualified electrician.

Always ensure that the power is OFF before performing any grounding or overvoltage protection tasks.

All country-specific safety regulations, rules, and laws must be observed to provide a properly grounded and overvoltage protected equipment site.

In all FW-300i equipment installations, after mounting the equipment, you must provide a properly grounded and shielded environment for the installation site before connecting power or network cables. If used, install the lightning/surge protection with the Ethernet and all power cables (AC and DC).

Note: The FW-300i warranty does not cover damage from lightning strikes. Failure to follow the surge protection recommendations outlined in this manual nullifies the warranty in the event that damage is found to have been caused by lightning or an excessive power surge.

8.4.2. Installing the Grounding Cable

Required parts:

Minimum six AWG grounding cable

Two ¼ in. hex bolts with locking washers

Weatherproofing (i.e., potting compound)

Figure 8.26 FW-300i with Grounding Lug

To ground the FW-300i, follow these general steps:

1. If needed, strip and attach (crimp) the two-hole ground lug of the module to the grounding cable.

2. Use a socket wrench, and the unit’s two hex bolts and locking washers, to connect the two-hole grounding lug to the FW-300i. Figure 8.26 FW-300i with Grounding Lug shows the location of the lug on the unit (do not over tighten).

3. Ensure the other end of the ground wire is connected to a reliable earth ground, such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a pole that is grounded.

4. Ensure there is enough slack in the ground cable to allow for module adjustments later on the pole/wall. Or preferably, wait until adjustments to the module are complete and then attach grounding lug to the module as a final step in the module installation. Note: The grounding lug orientation will likely change (upwards) to allow for a better drip loop. See Section 8.6, “Cable Management” for more information.

5. Weatherproof the exposed grounding wire with potting compound.



8.4.3. Installing DC Surge Protection

BLiNQ Networks recommends the installation of the DC Surge Protector that is listed here.

Depending on your installation, you may also need the DC Surge Protector pole mounting kit to aid in the installation of the recommended DC surge protection.

8.4.3.1. Installing the Pole Mounting Bracket

Before installing the recommended DC surge protector, you must first attach the pole mounting bracket. If your installation does not require the pole mounting bracket, go directly to Section 8.4.3.2, “Installing the DC Surge Protector Unit”.

To install the pole mounting bracket:

1. Attach the bracket to the DC lightning/surge protector unit using the included hardware (two round head Phillips/Cross Slot screws). Tighten the bracket screws.

2. Insert the clamp through the bracket slots.

3. Place the clamp around the pole and engage the gear with the end tab.

4. Use the screw on the gear to securely tighten the clamp.

5. Proceed to Section 8.4.3.2, “Installing the DC Surge Protection Unit” to complete the surge protector unit installation.

8.4.3.2. Installing the DC Surge Protector Unit

To install the DC lightning/surge protector, follow these general steps:

1. Mount the protection device as close to the FW-300i as possible. Mount the unit with the strain reliefs facing the ground, as shown in Figure 8.31, “Wiring of Lightning/Surge Arrestor”.

Note: Ensure that you comply with local codes and equipment manufacturers standards for this installation.

2. Remove the cover screws using a screwdriver and lift off the cover. Loosen the strain reliefs, if needed.

Figure 8.29 Inside the DC Lightning/Surge Protector



3. Thread the incoming DC power cable through the left hand strain relief on the bottom of the unit. Strip back the cable jacket and wire insulation, as needed, using wire strippers. Position the positive and negative wires in the SURGE + and SURGE – terminal lugs respectively. Tighten the screws, ensuring there is a good connection of the wire to the screw/terminal lugs. Torque terminal lug screws to 2.8Nm (25 in-lbf). If needed, see Figure 8.30, “Lightning/Surge Arrestor Connection Close Up View” and/or Figure 8.31, “Wiring of Lightning/Surge Arrestor”.

7. Use a grounding standoff to connect grounding wires of the appropriate gauge (minimum of 6 AWG), between the module, the arrestor unit and a solid Earth ground (See Figure 8.32 Grounding the Lightning/Surge Arrestor” for a visual of the connections.) You must ground the lightning/surge protector for it to work properly. Weatherproof the exposed grounding wire with potting compound.

Note: Ensure that you comply with local codes and the equipment manufacturers’ standards.

Figure 8.32 Grounding the Lightning/Surge Arrestor

8.4.4. Installing the AC Surge Protection

At your location, if there is no AC surge protection already in place, you need to install AC surge protection. You can either install the AC surge protector that is sold separately by BLiNQ Networks (Littelfuse AC Surge Protector Device; LSP05G277SX3333 for Europe and LSP05G120S for North America), or another suitable third-party surge protection device (SPD).

Figure 8.33 Littelfuse AC Surge Protectors

European Market

North American Market



If you are using the BLiNQ AC surge protector, you also need a NEMA 4X-type weatherproof enclosure to complete the installation.

WARNING!

Lightning/surge protectors MUST be grounded to work properly and may only be connected and installed by a qualified electrician.

Always ensure that the power is OFF before performing any grounding or overvoltage protection tasks.

All country-specific safety regulations, rules, and laws must be observed to provide a properly grounded and overvoltage protected equipment site.

To install a Littelfuse Surge Protection Device (SPD):

1. Confirm AC power is off to the surge protection device installation location.

2. Ensure this is the correct unit for your system (European versus North American) by verifying the type on the product label.

LSP05G277SX3333 for Europe and

LSP05G120S for North America

3. For a weatherproof installation, connect the surge protection device to the input and output power supplies within a NEMA 4X-type enclosure of an appropriate size.

Figure 8.34 AC Surge Protection Device Installation (North America)

4. For the North American market, route all of the applicable cables through the NEMA 4X enclosure and then connect according to your local electrical code:

the brown wire to the line (L) wire,

the blue wire to the neutral (N) and

the green/yellow wire to ground (G).

NOTE: For the AC/DC power supply ground (G) wire (OUTPUT side), route into the NEMA 4X enclosure and cap with a Twist-on wire connector OR ground inside the NEMA enclosure if a Ground stud is available. If needed, consult Figure 8.35, “Wiring for a series connection” below for more information.

!



Figure 8.35 Wiring for a Series Connection

5. For the European market, route all of the applicable cables through the NEMA 4X box enclosure and then connect according to your local electrical code:

the brown wire to the line (L) wire,

the blue wire to the neutral (N) and

the green with yellow stripe wire to ground (G).

NOTE: For the AC/DC power supply ground (G) wire (OUTPUT side), route into the NEMA 4X enclosure and cap with a Twist-on wire connector OR ground inside the NEMA enclosure if a Ground stud is available. If needed, consult Figure 8.35, “Wiring for a series connection” above for more information.

6. When connections are secure, close up the NEMA 4X-type weatherproof enclosure.

7. After you restore AC power, verify that the AC surge protector is working by observing that the FW-300i unit LED is ON.

If power is not getting to the FW-300i unit (LED off) then change the surge protection device.



8.5. Power Cables

8.5.1. Connecting to DC Power

Before proceeding, if you do not have a direct -48 Vdc power supply, you must install the Universal AC/DC Power Kit. The kit allows you to convert from another power source (i.e., North America: 120V) to -48 Vdc. See Section 8.2, “Installing Power Supply Unit (Optional)” for more information.

When connecting the FW-300i to DC power:

Ensure the input is -48 Vdc and powered from an approved AC/DC power supply or from a DC source separated from AC mains by double or reinforced insulation.

Ensure that the power can be conveniently removed, if necessary, by disconnecting the DC power connector plug from the unit. This plug should be accessible for servicing the unit.

The FW-300i is protected against an inadvertent reverse polarity connection. Ensure that the DC power supply is not under-rated and that it is capable of meeting the power requirement of Table 1 FW-300i System Parameters under various temperature and solar loading conditions.

Note: You may have to cut the cable to the specific cable length needed for your installation. In the event that you need to pull your own cable, please refer to Section 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 for the colors of the wires in the power supply kit and match them accordingly.

WARNING!

The FW-300i equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire (minimum of 6 AWG) before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain whether suitable grounding is available.

Always ensure that the power is OFF before connecting or disconnecting power to the unit.

8.5.4. DC Extension Cable Preparation (Optional)

You can order the DC Extension Kit (#BMA00105) from BLiNQ Networks if you need to pull your own cable to power the FW-300i. It comes with a Female DC Connector and a Male DC Connector (see figure below).

USING DC POWER FROM SOURCE TO FW-300i

Disassemble the Female DC Connector.

Figure 8.37 Female DC Connector

Slide your cable through Parts A and B, and keep Parts C and D together (as seen in Figure 8.38)

Once the connector parts are on the cable, use a wire stripper to strip the end of your wires to expose the copper core. Make sure you are stripping just enough insulation for the wires to sit on the pins in Part D.

Make sure that the pins and the wires are clean before you start to solder. It is advisable to ‘tin’ both contacts before you attempt to solder them. This helps to coat or fill the contacts so that you can easily melt them together later.

To tin a wire, apply the tip of your iron to the wire for a second or two, then apply the solder to the wire. The solder should flow freely onto the wire and coat it. Be careful not to overheat the wire as the insulation might start to melt.

To tin the contact pin, hold the iron on the outside of the contact for a second or two. Then apply solder into the cavity of the contact pin.

NOTE: Pin 1 is Positive and Pin 2 is Negative (Please set the wires up accordingly)

Figure 8.36 DC Extension Kit

Figure 8.38 Parts C and D Together



Next place your soldering iron onto the contact pins and melt the solder. When the solder in the contact melts, slide the wire into the contact.

Remove the iron and hold the wire still while the solder solidifies again.

The solder is set when it hardens. A good solder joint should be smooth and shiny.

Once both wires are connected to the pins, you can slide Part B into Part C and D, and secure Part B into C and D.

Finally, you can slide Part A into Part B and tighten them together.

USING UNIVERSAL AC/DC KIT

If you are using AC to power up the FW-300i Unit, you will need to use the Universal AC/DC Kit provided in the box.

In the event that you are placing the kit away from the FW-300i, you will need an extension cable to connect the DC output from the AC/DC Kit to the FW-300i unit.

You will need both the male and female connectors from the DC Connector kit.

Please follow the same process as “USING DC POWER FROM SOURCE TO FW-300i” and repeat the process for the male DC Connector.

BLiNQ Networks Inc. highly recommends weatherproofing all wire extensions.

8.6. Cable Management

For all modules, BLiNQ Networks highly recommends that you manage the cables, in some locations this is referred to as dressing the cable. The following method is a general recommendation; each installation has variations, so depending on the installation, manage the cables as per the policies and procedures suitable for your location.

1. Gather all cables into a bundle to prepare the cable for termination.

2. Ensure all cables are parallel to each other. Straighten and smooth the cables until they form a neat, orderly bundle.

3. Ensure there is some slack in the cables, so that there is no tension on the cable connectors and/or connections.

4. Add a drip loop to the cabling.

5. If needed, weatherproof any exposed bare wire connections, for instance, by using a potting compound.

6. Use cable tie wraps to secure the cables, for example, to an available opening on the mounting bracket. If needed, evenly space the tie wraps throughout the dressed length. Tighten tie wraps by hand only.

7. Be sure to connect any extension cables vertically to minimize damage from the elements.

!



8.7. Verifying Basic Installation On connection of DC power to the FW-300i, verify its operational state by checking the LED located on the base of the unit.

As the FW-300i starts up, the LED runs through the states shown in the figure below.

Figure 8.39 LED Indicators

8.8. FW-300i Adjustment FW-300i directivity should be adjusted as per the target coverage requirements. BLiNQ Networks recommends performing a coverage simulation, based on the deployment specifics (height, azimuth), prior to installation. The simulation results will enable the installer to get the optimal azimuth and tilt.

The FW-300i pole mount allows for a mechanical tilt of up to 10degrees. Generally, increasing the downtilt reduces the coverage.

Electrical Tilt: 0 degrees Mechanical Tilt: 0, 5, 10 degrees

Appendix A BLiNQ Wireless Devices and RF Safety/Les appareils sans fil BLiNQ et la sécurité RF

REMARQUE: La traduction française suit le texte anglais.

BLiNQ Networks evaluates all of its products to ensure that they conform to the Radio Frequency (RF) energy emission safety limits adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). BLiNQ Networks conducts these evaluations using the compliance rules and guidelines adopted by both the FCC and Industry Canada. They are based on the results of the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) studies by the FCC for mobile or fixed devices, which dictate MPE limits for human exposure to RF energy.

Before selling any wireless networking device to the public, BLiNQ Networks submits its devices to the FCC and Industry Canada for MPE (that is, RF emissions) studies and evaluation. These studies must demonstrate that the device meets the accepted regulatory limits for safe RF emissions, or it is not approved for sale by the FCC and thus cannot be sold to the public. This means that when wireless networking devices, purchased from BLiNQ Networks, are installed and operated as instructed, the RF emissions from the devices is equal to or less than the levels accepted as safe by the FCC and Industry Canada.

When used as intended, BLiNQ wireless networking devices do not pose health risks. Like other devices that emit RF energy (such as computers and microwave ovens), the level of RF emissions from BLiNQ devices is too low to cause harm. Further, BLiNQ wireless networking devices emit far lower levels of RF energy than cellular and cordless telephones, and are almost always used further away from the human body.

To prevent unnecessary exposure to RF energy:

Always install the FW-300i system so as to provide and maintain a minimum separation distance of at least 1 metre from all persons.

When the FW-300i system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the FW-300i antennas. RF energy fields may be present when the transmitter is on.

When the FW-300i system is operational, maintain a distance of at least 1.1 metre (43.3 inches) from the FW-300i antennas.

Do not install the FW-300i system in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of an antenna.

Antenna Statement:

The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 1.1 metre (43.3 inches) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

BLiNQ Networks évalue l'ensemble de ses produits afin de s'assurer qu'ils sont conformes à la limite d'émission énergétique sécuritaire de radiofréquence (RF) adoptée par la «Federal Communications Commission» (FCC). BLiNQ Networks effectue ces évaluations en utilisant les règles et lignes directrices adoptées à la fois par le FCC et Industrie Canada. Elles sont basées sur les résultats de l'exposition maximale



admissible, études menées par le FCC sur les appareils mobiles ou fixes, qui dictent les limites de l'exposition maximale admissible pour l'exposition humaine aux énergies RF.

Avant de vendre tout appareil de réseau sans fil au public, BLiNQ Networks présente ses appareils au FCC et à Industrie Canada pour l'évaluation de l'exposition maximale admissible. Ces études doivent démontrer que l'appareil est conforme aux limites réglementaires acceptées pour les émissions RF, sinon les appareils ne sont pas approuvés pour la vente par la FCC et ne peuvent donc pas être vendus au public. Cela signifie que lorsque des équipements sans fil, achetés auprès de BLiNQ Networks, sont installés et utilisés conformément aux instructions, les émissions RF provenant des dispositifs sont inférieures ou égales aux niveaux acceptés comme étant sécuritaire par la FCC et Industrie Canada.

Lorsqu'utilisés comme prévu, les périphériques sans fil BLiNQ ne posent pas de risques pour la santé. De la même façon que les autres appareils qui émettent de l'énergie RF (comme les ordinateurs et les fours à micro-ondes), le niveau des émissions RF des dispositifs BLiNQ est trop faible pour causer des dommages. En outre, les dispositifs de réseau sans fil BLiNQ émettent des niveaux beaucoup plus faibles d'énergie RF que les téléphones cellulaires et sans fil, et sont presque toujours utilisés loin du corps humain.

Pour éviter toute exposition inutile à l'énergie RF:

Installer toujours le système FW-300i afin de fournir et de maintenir une distance de séparation minimale de 1 mètre au moins pour les personnes.

Lorsque le système FW-300i est opérationnel, éviter de se tenir directement devant les antennes du FW-300i et leurs antennes internes. Les champs d'énergie RF peuvent être présents lorsque l'émetteur est en marche.

Lorsque le système FW-300i est opérationnel, maintenir une distance d'au moins 1.1 mètre (43.3 pouces) à partir des antennes du FW-300i.

Ne pas installer le système FW-300i dans un endroit où il est possible pour les gens de se tenir debout ou de marcher en face d'une antenne.

Déclaration d’antenne:

L'antenne utilisée pour cet émetteur doit être installé de façon à créer une distance de séparation d'au moins 1.1 mètre (43.3 pouces) de toute personne et ne doit pas être co-localisées ou opérant en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur. Les utilisateurs et les installateurs doivent avoir reçus des instructions d'installation de l'antenne et des conditions de fonctionnement de l'émetteur pour satisfaire la conformité aux expositions RF.
