Primary disconnect device
The cnPilot Enterprise AP power supply is the primary disconnect device.
RF exposure near the antenna

Strong Radio Frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the transmitter is ON.
Always turn OFF the power to the cnPilot AP device before undertaking maintenance activities infront of
the antenna.
Important regulatory information

The cnPilot Enterprise AP product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not
allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated special
requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices. Unlicensed
devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
The cnPilot Enterprise AP detects and avoids functionality for countries and frequency bands requiring
protection for radar systems. The cnPilot Enterprise AP is qualified for ETSI/FCC DFS certification (see
Note ) for radar detection and avoidance as per the law.
Note
Country-specific limits apply, some bands require DFS. DFS bands operation subject to
regulatory approval. Check Software release notes for details.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet these
requirements, users must set the correct country code during commissioning of the cnPilot Enterprise AP
equipment. If this is not done, installers and users may be liable to civil and criminal penalties.
Contact the Cambium helpdesk if more guidance is required.

Lightning protection and grounding guidelines

l ·Lightning protection guidelines

l ·Grounding guidelines
Lightning protection guidelines

To protect outdoor radio installations from the impact of lightning strikes, the installer must be familiar
with the normal procedures for site selection, bonding and grounding.
Warning
Electro-Magnetic Discharge (EMD) lightning damage is not covered under

warranty. The recommendations in this section, when followed correctly,
provides the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However,
100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
Purpose
To protect structures, equipment and people against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by
conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of
protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. Cambium recommends
cnPilot installation is contracted to a professional installer.
Standards
Refer international standards IEC 62305-1 and IEC 62304-4, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-2017 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code for details of lightning protection methods and
requirements.
Lightning protection installation zones

The “Rolling sphere method” is used to determine the safe zone to install the lightning protection
equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius is rolled over the structure. Where the
sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the
space under the sphere is in the zone of protection (Zone B) as shown in Figure 1. Similarly, where the
sphere rests on two finals, the space under the sphere is considered as in the zone of protection.

Figure 1 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones
Assess locations on poles, towers and buildings to determine, whether the location is in Zone A or Zone B:
Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone.
Zone B: In this zone, direct lightning effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone significantly
reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount the equipment in this zone.
Warning
Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment,

structures and life at risk.
General protection requirements

To adequately protect AP installation for both ground bonding and transient voltage, surge suppression is
required.
Basic requirements
Implement the following basic protection requirements:
l Install the equipment in Zone B.

l Ground the AP to the supporting structure.
l If additional surge protection is required, then install one more Surge Suppressor near the AP.
l Install the 56V-Gigabit Surge Suppressor (1000SS) within 600 mm of the point at which the power
cable enters the building or equipment room.
l Ground the drop cable at the entry point of the building.
l Ensure the drop cable is not laid alongside a lightning air terminal.

l All grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10 mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa
(6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG).
Grounding guidelines
Implement the following requirements, when routing, fastening and connecting grounding cables:
l Ensure the grounding conductors run as short, straight, and smoothly as possible, with the minimum
bends and curves.
l Do not install the grounding cables with drip loops.
l All bends must have a minimum radius of 203 mm and a minimum angle of 90° as shown in below
figure. A diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run
parallel to the supporting structure.
l Route all bends, curves and connections towards the grounding electrode system, ground rod, or
ground bar.
l Securely fasten the grounding conductors.
l Use the braided grounding conductors.
l Use the approved bonding techniques for the connection of dissimilar metals.
Figure 1 : Grounding cable minimum bend radius and angle
Pole or tower mount guidelines

If you need to install AP to a metal tower or pole, then in addition to the general protection requirements,
follow the below requirements:
l Ensure that the position of the equipment is lower than the top of the tower or its lightning air
terminal.
l Ensure that the metal tower or pole is correctly grounded.
l Install a grounding kit at the first point of contact (top), between the drop cable and the tower.
l Install a grounding kit at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to horizontal transition point.

Note
If grounding kit is installed, ensure the grounding kit is bonded to the tower or
Tower Ground Bus Bar (TGB).
Connection examples of pole or tower installations are shown in below figure.
Figure 2 : Grounding and lightning protection on pole or tower
Wall mount guidelines

If you need to install AP on the wall of a building, then in addition to the general protection requirements,
follow the below requirements also:
Ensure that the position of the equipment is lower than the top of the building or its lightning air terminal.
Ensure that the building is correctly grounded.
Connection examples of wall installations are shown in below figure.
Figure 3 : Grounding and lightning protection on wall

Note
There should be a drip loop immediately at the Ethernet port entrance going to the AP.
Training
The installer needs to have basic competence in radio and IP network installation. The specific
requirements applicable to the cnPilot Enterprise AP must be gained by reading this User Guide and by
performing sample setups at base workshop before live installments.
Power density exposure limit

l Calculation of power density and distance

l Calculated distances and power compliance margins
Install the radios for the 450 Platform Family of wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the
minimum separation distances from all persons.
The applicable FCC power density exposure limit for RF energy in the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands is 1
mW/cm2.

The applicable ISEDC power density exposure limit for RF energy in unlicensed bands is 0.02619 * (f^
(0.6834)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band. For licensed bands, the power density
exposure limit is 0.6455 * (f^ (0.5)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band.
Calculation of power density and distance

The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that it provides a worst-case
analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
P – Maximum average transmit power capability of the radio, in W
G – total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB
S – power density (W/m²)
d – Distance from point source, in cm (Centimeters)
