Installation Guidelines Regarding Power Line Quality
IMPORTANT
Comtech EF Data has become familiar with the varying quality of the AC power
grid around the world. The following offers some installation guidelines that
should help ensure a reliable installation.
• Surge suppression: High voltage surges can cause failure of the power supply. These surges
are typically caused by circuit switching on the main AC power grid, erratic generator
operation, and also by lightning strikes. While the transceiver does have built in surge
suppression, if the unit will be installed in a location with questionable power grid quality,
Comtech EF Data recommends installation of additional power conditioning/surge
suppression at the power junction box.
• Grounding: The transceiver provides a grounding terminal. This is provided to allow the
user to ground the transceiver to the antenna’s grounding network. All components installed
at the antenna should be grounded to a common grounding point at the antenna.
• Electrical welding: If welding needs to take place at the antenna, disconnect all cables from
the transceiver except for the ground wire. Cap all RF connections with terminations. This
will prevent damage to the input/output circuitry of the transceiver.
• Lightning: Lightning strikes on or around the antenna will generate extremely high voltages
on all cables connected to the transceiver. Depending on the severity of the strike, the
transceiver’s internal surge protection combined with the recommended external suppression
may protect the transceiver’s power supply. However, if the installation will be in an area
with a high probability of lightning strikes, Comtech EF Data recommends the installation of
surge suppression on the RF and IF cables.

Statement of RoHS Compliance
The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive 2002/95/EC restricts the use of six
hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products.
Restricted materials are hazardous to the environment and pollute landfills, and are dangerous in
terms of occupational exposure during manufacturing and recycling.
The Hewlett-Packard iPAQ rx1950 Pocket PC, used as the delivery platform for CEFD’s CiLink
software product, has been certified to be free of the following substances mandated under RoHS:
lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated
biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated disphenyl ethers (PBDE).
