Wireless Ethernet PtP & MP System Operations Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
For your protection, please read and observe all safety instructions before operating
this system and keep this sheet and any additional instructions for future reference.
INSTALLATION & USE
OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully
followed. Do not make any modifications to the Wireless Ethernet Module (WEM),
Power Injection Module (PIM), or any other KBC electronic device, as the unit(s) will
no longer comply with FCC regulations and therefore void its warranty.
WATER AND MOISTURE: The WEM is weatherproof provided it is installed in
accordance to the mounting details listed on page 7. However, further protection or
housing is suggested for harsh environments, as moisture damage voids its
warranty. The PIMs used in this system are NOT weatherproof. None of the
modules in this system are waterproof and should never be submerged. Severe
electrical shock, personal injury or damage to the equipment may result.
POWER SOURCE: Connect the equipment to a power source only of the type
described on the operating instructions or as marked on the equipment. Excessive
or insufficient amperage or voltage can cause extended trouble-shooting or even
damage that could negate its warranty. The power supplies’ cable should not be
modified/extended due to the ability to use up to 100 meters of power over Ethernet
cable. In addition, Ethernet cable running from the PIM to the WEM should be kept
separated from high-voltage cables and/or transformers.
ATTACHMENTS: Use only KBC supplied or recommended Power Injection Modules,
Power Supplies, Cat5 Cables and weather seals and plugs.
WHEN NOT IN USE: Unplug the power if the equipment is left unattended or unused
for long periods of time or during lightning storms.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, use only replacement
parts specified by KBC. Unauthorized substitutions may result in damage to the
system and could void the warranty.
