Safety Information
General
Read this User Manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.
The base station and antennas must be installed by a professional installer.
The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not exceed the
described limits.
Equipment Installation
The equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC),
ANSI/NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1, CSA C22.1; and when applicable, the
National Electrical Safety Code IEEE C2. And unless marked or otherwise identified, the Standard
for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
RF Exposure
Sentry 4G-900 Pico Base Station is compliant with the requirements set forth in CFR 47 section
1.1307, addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in OET Bulletin 65. The
outdoor base station should be positioned more than 0.6 feet (20 cm) from humans. Lightning
Protection
When Sentry 4G-900 Pico Base unit is installed in an outdoor location, all indoor
components (Ethernet, power supply) should be connected through a lightning protector.
The purpose of the lightning protection is to protect people and equipment located indoors from
lightning that might strike the Sentry 4G-900 Pico Base unit or its outdoor cables. Therefore, the
lightning protector device should be installed indoors, as close as possible to the point where the
cables enter the building. The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors, as long as the
cables that go from it indoors are well protected from lightning between the box and the building
entrance.
Power Cord Protection
The Sentry 4G-900 Pico Base should always be connected to the supplied data adapter for both
power supply and data transfer purposes.
Any other type of connection/application of the Sentry 4G-900 Pico Base and/or supplied data
adapter is not allowed.
Route all power supply cords so that people cannot walk on them, or place objects on or against
them. This can pinch or damage the cords.
IV
Servicing
Do not open the cover of this product and attempt service unless instructed by a CalAmp
certified technician. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Removing the covers or
modifying any part of this device voids its warranty.
Keep away from electric power lines!
Carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual. By nature of the installation, you may be
exposed to hazardous environments and high voltage. Use caution when installing the outdoor
system.
Antenna Grounding Requirements
Verify that the antenna or cable system is grounded (earthed).
The antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the NEC. Of particular note is the
requirement that the grounding conductor not be less than 10 AWG (Cu). The scheme should be
either in accordance with UL 96 and 96A. Lightning Protection Components and Installation
Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems, or tested in accordance with UL 50 and UL 497.
Outdoor Grounding System
Verify that the base station is grounded.
The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and accumulated static
electricity. It is the installer responsibility to install this device in accordance with the local
electrical codes.
Safety Hazards
Warning!
Installing Sentry 4G-900 Pico Base can pose a serious hazard. Be sure to take
precautions to avoid the following:
Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
Falling when working at heights or with ladders
Injuries from dropping tools
Contact with AC wiring (power system connection)
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire, only use a No. 24AWG or larger telecommunication line cord between
the indoor and outdoor units.
V
Important Note:
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 received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2.1 Pico Base Installation Location
WARNING!
THE PICO BASE UNIT MUST ALWAYS BE INSTALLED VERTICALLY AND TOP-DOWN –
WITH THE CONNECTORS ON THE UNDERSIDE FOR PROTECTION.
This section describes the criteria that should be considered when selecting the Pico Base
installation location.
2.1.1 Criteria for Outdoor Locations
Take into account your site plan and local regulations that define distance from populated areas.
The unit should be mounted in the highest possible point. Reception will increase according
to the height of the antennas.
There should be minimum obstacles between the antenna and the planned coverage area
(zone) – minimum of 55% exposure to the sky.
Take into account (according to your coverage site plan) distance from other antennas or
devices that may cause interferences.
Accessibility for maintenance (where possible).
2.1.2 Criteria for Indoor Locations
A minimum of 55% direct LOS exposure of the external GPS antenna to sky.
Maximum distance between external GPS antenna to Pico Base = 22 meters.
2.1.3 Antenna Grounding Requirements
The antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the NEC. Of particular note is the
requirement that the grounding conductor not be less than 10 AWG (Cu). The scheme should
either correspond to UL 96 and 96A. Lightning Protection Components and Installation
Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems, or tested in according to UL 50 and UL 497.

Important! The Console connector should be closed in normal condition and is only intended
for the use of an authorized technician.
The chassis has RJ-45 maintenance female connector, used by a technician to connect a
“console”.
The port is used (by maintenance personnel) to communicate with the processor when the
normal management interfaces cannot be used. The console port is based on RS-232 serial
standard and support a standard terminal connection.
The Console port enables the technician to configure and monitor the Pico DST unit through CLI
(Command Language Interface) for low level debug.
The following table provides a description of the connector pin out.
