1 Before You Begin
Carefully remove and inspect the package contents. Refer to the Package Checklist below.
Please adhere to the following Safety Considerations.
1.1 RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS/ EXIGENCES
DE CONFORMITÉ DE L'EXPOSITION RF
The PTC-3000 family must be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum
separation distance listed below between the radiating structure and any person.
Note that with PTC-3000 RF Board Fixed installation with highest gain antenna of 14.1dBi,
the antenna of the product, under normal use condition, should be at 2.08 m away from the
body of any user for fixed installation.
Note that with PTC-3000 RF Board Mobile installation with highest gain antenna of 5.2dBi,
the antenna of the product, under normal use condition, should be at 1.41 m away from the
body of any user for mobile installation.
Note that PTC-3004, PTC-3200 family, PTC-3001 and PTC-3006 Fixed installation with
highest gain antenna of 14.1dBi, the antenna of the product, under normal use condition,
should be at 2.5 m away from the body of any user for fixed installation. Note that PTC-
3004 RF exposure limits apply to all PTC-3000 family.
Note that with PTC-3004, PTC-3200 family, PTC-3001 and PTC-3006 Mobile installation
with highest gain antenna of 5.2dBi, the antenna of the product, under normal use condition,
should be at 1.74 m away from the body of any user for mobile installation. Note that PTC-
3004, PTC-3200 family, PTC-3001 and PTC-3006 RF exposure limits apply to all PTC-3000
family.
The output power for fixed stations is factory set max limit at 45.5dBm on 220MHz antenna
ports. The maximum EIRP is 50.4dBm based on max gain antenna of 14.1dBi and cable
loss of 9.2dB. If user/installer exceeds this max EIRP, the installer must increase cable loss
and/or lower power accordingly. Note that output power is variable, and the actual power is
chosen at the time installation depending on cable losses, Antenna height and gain and
terrain as per FCC/ IC licensing procedures.
The output power for mobile stations is factory set max limit at 44.5dBm on 220MHz
antenna ports. The EIRP is is 46.9dBm based on max gain antenna of 5.2dBi and cable loss
of 2.8dB. If user/installer exceeds this max EIRP, the installer must increase cable loss
and/or lower power accordingly. Note that output power is variable, and the actual power is
chosen at the time installation depending on cable losses, Antenna height and gain and
terrain as per FCC/ IC licensing procedures.

The concentrated energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be
in front of the antenna when the transmitter is operating. The installer of this equipment must
ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of
Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended safety guidelines for the
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian
Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

1.2 Safety Considerations
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow electrostatic precautions whenever the PTC-3000 is installed. To prevent
malfunction or damage which may be caused by Electrostatic Discharge, the PTC-
3000 should be grounded. Before touching components or connecting/disconnecting
cables, the installer should touch a metal object to dissipate body charge.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
whenever the PTC-3000 is being installed or moved.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so
may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Do not open the chassis when the PTC-3000 is running: Electric shocks can
occur.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the PTC-3000, turn off the
power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the distributor or
sales representative.
DO NOT do the following:
o DO NOT drop the PTC-3000 onto a hard surface.
o DO NOT use the PTC-3000 in a site where the ambient temperature exceeds
the rated temperature.
1.3 ESD Notice
To prevent malfunction or damage to this product, which may be caused by Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD), the radio should be properly grounded at the time of installation. In
addition, the installer or maintainer should follow proper ESD precautions, such as touching
a bare metal object to dissipate body charge, prior to touching components or
connecting/disconnecting cables.

1.8 Antenna guidelines/ Les lignes directrices d'antenne
OPERATIONAL & SAFETY NOTICES
The licensee is required to comply with all limits on frequency of operation, antenna location,
power, and effective antenna height.
The installer must take the following into consideration:
• Antennas must be installed by professional antenna installers only.
• Refer to the RF Energy Exposure Guide for specific guidelines regarding the siting and
installation of mobile and fixed antennas. RF exposure compliance at multiple transmitter
sites must be addressed on a site-by-site basis. It is the responsibility of the licensee to
ensure compliance with maximum exposure limits.
• When servicing the antennas, or working at distances closer than those listed above,
ensure the transmitter has been disabled.
• Unauthorized antennas, equipment modifications or attachments could invalidate any
equipment warranty or authority to transmit. Modification could damage the radio and may
violate FCC or IC regulations.
• For FCC CFR 47 part 95F operation, the transmit power is limited to 4.48W at antenna
port for Cell Transmitter Station (CTS), and 1W at antenna port for Response Transmitter
Unit (RTU).
• For CFR47 part 95F operation, the Cell Transmitter Station (CTS) and Response
