Warning of Hazardous Voltages
On AC installations, hazardous voltages exist. Use caution when verifying or working with AC power.
Remove metal jewellery that could come into contact with AC power.
On DC sections, short-circuiting the low voltage, low impedance circuits can cause severe arcing that
may result in burns or eye damage. Remove rings, watches etc. to avoid shorting DC circuits.
Note: Airspan products do not contain hazardous substances (as defined in UK Control of
Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1989 and the Dangerous Substances Regulations
1990). At the end of any Airspan products life cycle, the customer should consult with Airspan to
ensure that the product is disposed of in conformance with the relevant regulatory requirements.
Adherence to European Directive 1999/519/EC
European Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC details basic restrictions and reference levels on
human exposure to electromagnetic fields as advised by the ICNIRP. Adherence to these
recommended restrictions and reference levels should provide a high level of protection as regards

a. The terminal does not function after following the operating instructions outlined in this
manual.
b. The product has been dropped or the housing is damaged.
Locate the serial number of the terminal and record this on your registration card for future reference.
Also record the MAC address, located on the product sticker.
UL Information
- The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code
requirements.
- Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.
- AirHarmony-1000D is designed to operate in environmental conditions complying with IP66 and
relevant standards.
Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and 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. The antennas are to be
DC grounded, so surge protection is not required. Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/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.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without passing
through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning 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 tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from the
building and equipment.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended for
the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the
lightning/surge protectors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the
building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for terminating
the ground wires.
- The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the eNodeB.
