The resistivity of the soil determines how many rods are needed and their dimensions. Other Cable Grounding Requirements All other cables such as telephone cables, data cables, and power cables must be connected to the single‐point ground and must employ impulse/surge suppressors. Cables between any two cabinets must be shielded and employ a messenger cable. The messenger cable must be bonded to the respective building ground at each corner. The shields must be bonded to the ground at each ring.  Note: A messenger cable is made of stranded steel and supports aerial cable between poles. Mounting Options The Outdoor Micro has three different installation kits:  Pole Mounting: The Outdoor Micro supports installation on steel, concrete, or wood poles with diameter from 12 to 30 cm (5 to 12 inches). See Pole Mounting for details.  Wall Mounting: The Outdoor Micro supports installation on wood, concrete, masonry, grout‐filled‐block, and hollow‐block walls. See Wall Mounting for details.  Floor Mounting: The Outdoor Micro supports installation on various floor types. See Floor Mounting for details. Space Clearance Requirements   The Outdoor Micro requires space around the unit to allow for proper routing of the cables as well as viability for the GPS antenna.  Vertical Clearance: The Outdoor Micro requires a minimum clearance for cable connections at the bottom of the cabinet. Cables for the antennas have differing turn radiuses which affect the required vertical clearance.   Area Clearance: The Outdoor Micro requires sufficient area clearance to provide adequate space for the bending radius necessary for the required RF cables.  GPS Antenna Clearance: The GPS antenna installed on the top of the Outdoor Micro mounting assembly requires unobstructed upward visibility for satellite acquisition. Do not install any solid metal constructions above the Outdoor Micro.

   A        REGULATORY NOTICES RF Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Exhibit Requirements FCC Part 1, Section 1.1307 states the following:  Part 22 Subpart H devices are excluded from routine environmental evaluation when the operating total power level of all channels is less than 1640 Watts EIRP.  Part 24 Subpart E (Broadband PCS) devices are excluded from routine environmental evaluation when the operating total power level of all channels is less than 3280Watts EIRP. No antenna is supplied with this unit. The installer must not exceed the antenna gain limitations related to total power requirements in order to be excluded from routine environmental evaluation. To comply with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements for general population that are specified under FCC Part 1 ‐ Section 1.1310 ‐ Table 1, the maximum power density resulting from the composite Effective Isotopic Radiated Power (EIRP) from the antenna connected to this equipment must be limited to the maximum permissible exposure as stated below:  Power density limit for Band Class 0 = f/1500 = 0.58 mW/cm²  Power density limit for Band Class 1 = 1 mW/cm² This value can be achieved by multiple combinations of RF output, antenna gain, and distance from the antenna when energized. The minimum safe distances from a radiating structure in order to be excluded from routine environmental evaluation are:  For Band Class 0 (TX: 869–894 MHz RX: 824–849 MHz) d (safe distance) = 4.7 m  For Band Class 1 (TX: 1930 1990 MHz RX: 1850 1910 MHz) d (safe distance) = 5.1 m The MPE is expressed as follows:  Power Density Pd (mW/cm²) = EIRP/[4*Pi*d²]  Where  d = distance from the antenna expressed in cm.  EIRP expressed in mW = 10[TX Power (dBm) + Ant Gain(dBi)]/10  TX Power (dBm) = 10*log[Tx Power (mW)] As an example with the transmitter running at 5 watts output into an antenna with a gain of 10 dBi, the minimum safe distance from the antenna to ensure exposure would be: 63 cm to remain below 1 mW/cm2 for the 1900 PCS band, and 83 cm to remain below 0.58 mW/cm2 for the 800 Cellular band. When installing the antenna, the above relationship should be used to ensure the combination of power, antenna gain, and distance is such that the maximum permissible power density is not exceeded. Different combinations of output power and antenna gain will result in different minimum safe distances.
