Statement 1052—Installing And Grounding The Antenna - Cisco 4G-ANTM-OM-CM Manual

Cisco Dual LTE-Single GPS Multi-band Antenna Installation Guide (4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B)
Statement 1052—Installing and Grounding the Antenna
Warning: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can
come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits,
as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, refer to national and local codes
(for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Statement 1024—Ground Conductor
Warning: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a
suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1025—Use Copper Conductors Only
Warning: Use copper conductors only.
Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit
Warning: When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Caution: For your physical safety, and to help you install your antenna successfully, follow these safety precautions.

If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your
Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna you are about to
install.

Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the
size and type of antenna that you are about to install.

Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job.

Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone
lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.

Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come and look at your proposed installation.

Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned
to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue
instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
— Do not use a metal ladder.
— Do not work on a wet or windy day.
— Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are
all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an
electrical path through the antenna and the installer.

If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call
your local power company to have it removed safely.

If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
