•
The BridgeWave 60GHz product line meets all applicable FCC safety
requirements for radio equipment; however, it is best to avoid prolonged,
unnecessary exposure to the front of the radio while it is operating. The exposure
one would receive from aligning the radio is not harmful to humans.
•
The outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock.
For installations in the U.S.A., refer to Articles 810830 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for information with respect to proper grounding and
applicable lightning protection for DC cables.
For installations in all other countries, implement protection in accordance with
the safety standards and regulatory requirements of the country where the
equipment is to be installed.
•
Do not install or operate this equipment in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes
a definite safety hazard.
•
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the
equipment. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by BridgeWave can
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Regulatory Information
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and,
(2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Equipment Precautions
Water and Moisture - The E60 product line is designed to withstand moisture conditions
typically encountered when installed outdoors.
Power Sources - This product should only be operated with the type of power source
provided by BridgeWave Communications Inc.

2 Site Planning
2.1 General
Before the start of an installation a survey should be conducted of the proposed area of
the site(s). The survey personnel should be fully familiar with the details required to
install the an E60 radio system.
•
FE60 and FE60X radios transport Fast Ethernet over the wireless connection
(100Mbps full duplex)
•
GE60 and GE60X radios transport Gigabit Ethernet over the wireless connection
(1000Mbps full duplex)
•
AR60 and AR60X radios have an adaptive rate over the wireless connection,
depending on the fade margin in the link the radio will transmit either Gigabit
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet over the air
2.2 Equipment Checklist
The survey team will need the following equipment:
•
•
•
•
Binoculars
GPS Navigation Device
Tape Measure
Site Survey Report Form
2.3 Line of Sight (LOS)
The E60 Wireless Ethernet link requires Line-of-Sight for proper operation. Fortunately,
the links are relatively short and obstructions in the path can easily be identified.
Binoculars can ease viewing in poor light conditions.
The planning should include an investigation into future building plans that could block
the LOS path, and other long-term incremental obstructions such as trees. Intermittent
obstructions such as aircraft at a nearby airport should also be considered.
The following table details the minimum clearance needed from obstacles near the path
in order to ensure the radios will operate properly.

2.4 Link Distance
Measurement of the link distance is important in estimating the link availability and
calculating expected Receive Signal Level (RSL). This measurement can be performed
using the Latitude and Longitude readings from a Global Positioning System (GPS)
device, which is placed near the proposed locations of the antennas, or using a range
finder device.
Table 2-2 below lists the maximum link distance with respect to desired availability and
ITU rain zone (ITU-R Recommendation PN.837). The map (Figure 2-1) following the
chart shows where the rain zones fit across North America and Asia for various
availabilities and most ITU rain zones. The availability for the AR systems is a
combination of the FE and GE tables of the same type (FE60 and GE60 or FE60X and
GE60X) depending on the current condition of the link.

2.5 Antenna Location
The optimum location for the antennas must be determined. The ideal location should
provide for ease of erecting and mounting the antenna, as well as unimpeded Line-OfSite (LOS) to the other site. The following factors should be taken into account:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Type of mounting—wall or pole
Location where the fiber and DC power wiring will enter/exit the building
Length of cable runs
Grounding connection points
Obstructions
Accessibility
2.6 Cabling
The installation site should be inspected to determine the run paths for the fiber cable and
power cable from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof
penetration should be identified. The routing and securing of all cables should conform to
all applicable codes and requirements. Depending on the likelihood of damage due to foot
traffic or equipment movement, cabling conduit may be required. The maximum cable
run length as specified for the equipment being installed must not be exceeded.
The radio requires an LC type connectors on a pair of simplex multi-mode fibers to
properly connect to the radio and the users network equipment. Single-mode fiber is not
a current option supported by the radio. The network equipment end of the fibers should
be terminated with connectors that match the network equipment fiber interface.
Fiber Cable Length
Up to 270 meters
Up to 500 meters
Cable Type
62.5/125 µm
50/125 µm
Table 2-3: Fiber Cable Types
All radios in the E60 product line include a 100-240 VAC power adaptor suitable for
indoor operation that converts the AC voltage from the standard electrical outlet in the
wall to DC voltage. Our radio requires a minimum of 15.0 VDC (24.0 VDC maximum)
up the power cable to the radio to function properly. When planning the cable run from
the indoor mounted AC power adaptor to the radio unit, it is critical to use the cable
gauge (AWG) indicated below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The electrical
cable that is used outside the building must be outdoor rated (i.e., weather-protected)
providing a single pair of wires necessary to power the equipment. The required DC
power cable is 12 gauge, 2 wire (i.e., 12/2) rated for outdoor use.

has been fitted with the power
connectors (provided) for the
radio’s internal power supply

tool (not provided) is required
to terminate the power
connectors onto the 12-gauge
cable required for use with
the E60 products.

2.7 Grounding & Lightning Protection
WARNING!
Proper grounding of the outdoor equipment reduces electromagnetic interference,
provides lightning protection, and protects against electrical discharge. The source and
connection points for the building-to-earth ground in the vicinity of the antenna location
should be determined.
It is recommended to integrate the radio ground into the building ground utilizing the
pole mount hardware. For wall or ungrounded pole mounts connect a grounding wire to
the grounding point on the radio. Select the size of the ground wire based on the National
Electrical Code.
580-00507, rev 1
13 of 46
TM
GE60 Installation Manual
In addition to grounding the equipment, BridgeWave strongly recommends, and local
building codes may require, the DC electrical cable to be protected from lightning strikes.
You may use a Polyphaser surge suppressor, model # IS-PSP-24 (or equivalent model
from another manufacturer). The surge suppressor must be installed at the point where
the DC electrical cable exits/enters the building.
The Polyphaser device is available from the following companies:

2.8 Environmental
The structure to which the equipment will be mounted should be adequate to bear all
wind and other weather conditions. The environmental conditions at the location must
conform to the operating environment specified for the equipment.
