Mounting

Note: During installation, please

 

Your Raven XE should be mounted in a position that allows

be sure that the cables are

 

easy access for the cables so they are not bent, constricted, in

secure but do not bear any

 

close proximity to high amperage, or exposed to extreme

additional weight that could

 

temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible

loosen the connector from the

 

for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that

unit.

 

there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is kept

 

 

 

free from direct exposure to the elements, such as sun, rain,

 

 

 

 

 

dust, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution: The Raven XE is in a hardened case and designed for use

 

 

 

in industrial and extreme environments. However, unless you are

 

 

 

using cables expressly designed for such environments, they can fail

 

 

 

if exposed to the same conditions the Raven XE can withstand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: This device is not intended for use within close proximity of the human body. Antenna installation should provide for at least a 20 CM separation from the operator.

Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard installation configuration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/ or multiple connections), it’s imperative that the installer follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in accordance with the radio communications regulations of the Federal Communica‐ tions Commission (FCC), Industry Canada, or your country’s regulatory body (if used outside the US).
