1.3.2
Operation in Hostile Environments
The rated operating temperature of the radio terminal (that is, the outdoor unit or ODU), is from -40°C to
+55°C. In normal operation, the radio terminal will be at a higher temperature than the ambient temperature.
+55°C. In normal operation, the radio terminal will be at a higher temperature than the ambient temperature.
For safety reasons, if the ambient temperature at the location proposed for the radio terminal is likely to
exceed +40°C, then the radio terminal must be mounted in a Restricted Access Location. The Restricted
Access Location must only be accessible to authorised maintenance personnel through the use of a tool, lock

Access Location must only be accessible to authorised maintenance personnel through the use of a tool, lock
and key or other security mechanism. The maintenance personnel must be advised that the radio terminal is
hot and that safety precautions must be taken: either disconnect power from the radio terminal 1 hour before
undertaking maintenance/repair, or else wear protective gloves when handling the radio terminal if power
disconnection takes place less than 1 hour before access.

1.3.3
Exposure to Non-Ionising Radiation
All radio transmitters emit non-ionising radiation and have to be assessed for the potential impact of the
radiation levels on Human Safety. The radio terminal and antenna should always be mounted in such a way as
radiation levels on Human Safety. The radio terminal and antenna should always be mounted in such a way as
to prevent human exposure to radio-frequencies, by ensuring that the following minimum safety distances
are observed: Safety Distance = 1 metre on boresight. The antennas MUST be positioned to ensure that a
minimum separation distance of 1 metre on antenna boresight is maintained between the installer or user
are observed: Safety Distance = 1 metre on boresight. The antennas MUST be positioned to ensure that a
minimum separation distance of 1 metre on antenna boresight is maintained between the installer or user
and the antennas. The antennas MUST be positioned to ensure that no human being could be reasonably
expected to come within 1 metre of the antenna during normal operation of the radio equipment.

Power Supply
The Sub10 Systems PoE
++
power injector should always be used to power the Liberator-V1000. If the correct
power supply is not used, this may invalidate the safety certification and cause a safety hazard. The mains
