Safety Precautions


DANGER
Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions.

Each year, hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.

For your safety and to help you achieve a sound installation, read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life!

  • If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your safety and that of 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.

  • Select your installation site with safety and performance in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.

  • Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come and look at your proposed installation. It is a minor inconvenience considering your life is at stake.

  • Plan your installation carefully and thoroughly before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is essentially a matter of coordination. Assign each person a specific task and 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, remember:

    • Do not use a metal ladder.

    • Do not work on a wet or windy day.

    • Do dress properly: shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long–sleeved shirt, or jacket.

  • If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. The slightest touch of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: You!

  • If any part of the antenna system should contact a power line, don’t touch it or remove it yourself. Instead, call your local power company. They would remove it safely.

  • If an accident occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Installation Notes

Antennas transmit and receive radio signals susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and the range of the device connected with them. Therefore, follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

  • Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as:

    • Heating

    • Air-conditioning ducts

    • Large ceiling trusses

    • Building superstructures

    • Major power cabling runs

    If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions.

  • In an outdoor environment, connect the antenna to a lightning arrestor and ensure proper grounding.

  • The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal can pass through and maintains adequate signal strength. Consider the following before choosing the location for your antenna:

    • Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength.

    • Signals penetrate only one or two solid and precast concrete walls without degrading signal strength.

    • Signals penetrate three or four concrete and woodblock walls without degrading signal strength.

    • Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength.

    • Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and may not penetrate it at all.

    • Signals are likely to reflect off a chain–link fence or wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 inches. (2.5 cm and 3.8 cm) The fence acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal.

  • Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device.

  • Due to the tight side lobe configuration, the antenna does not support RRM. Hence, you need to configure the channel and power for it statically.

  • Australian regulatory restrictions are applied when the device is configured for the -Z domain with the country set as Australia. This results in a band lock on radios that are enabled.

  • Console access using the console port

    We recommend that you use a console cable that is one meter or less in length.


    Note
    The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable (not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one meter in length.
