WARNING
HIGH ENERGY DISCHARGE HAZARD
Cabling and equipment are susceptible to induced surges from lightning as well as power
generation equipment. The risk related to each source is different based on installation location.
The purpose of a surge arrester is to protect persons and equipment from electrical surges
induced by lightning, static discharge, or other high-voltage electrical faults.
Indoor Connection
When equipment and cabling is installed within an enclosed environment, the risk related to
lightning is less since enclosures such as buildings would typically have lightning protection
features incorporated by design. However, there are still risks to persons and equipment from
sources of surges within the enclosed environment. Where surges over 1 kV can occur, additional
surge suppressors should be installed on the relevant equipment ports to protect from
supply-side surges.
Lightning-induced EMP can result in very high current and voltage levels in the system. Where
cabling and associated equipment may be exposed to lightning induced EMP, appropriate surge
arresters should be selected and installed at the point where the cabling or associated
equipment enters the protected environment.
Outdoor Installation
When equipment is installed in an area outside of a lightning-protected, enclosed environment
with no direct lightning risk, appropriate surge arresters should be selected and installed
between the equipment and further connected equipment within the protected area and
between the equipment and any associated equipment outside of the protected area.

Antenna Installation
WARNING
PROFESSIONAL ANTENNA INSTALLATION ONLY
When the equipment is mounted outdoors it must be fixed and mounted on outdoor permanent
structures and the antennas must not be co-located with any other antenna or transmitter
device and have a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.
Depending on the type used, antennae can be connected directly to Ranger Pro Gateways or
can be mounted remotely. Remote antennae can be connected to Ranger Pro Gateways using
the optionally supplied antenna cables. If the antenna or equipment is mounted outside, a surge
arrester or multiple surge arresters should be used as appropriate and according to local
regulations.
Self-amalgamating tape must be used to seal the connections between gateways, surge
arresters, and antennae.
The RJ45 Ethernet connection uses industry standard wiring connections. Either a standard or
cross-over cable may be used when connecting the device.
You must use only compliant (IEEE 802.3at Type 1) power supply equipment that
support Mode B (or midspan) and injects power on the Ethernet cable spare wire pairs
and not on the data wire pairs.
18/46
Ranger Pro Wireless Gateway
User Guide 158M1430 Rev. B
When installing the gateway outdoors, you need to provide adequate UV protection for the
network cable connector. This can be done using a suitable enclosure or by mounting the
gateway upright and using the optional network and power cable connection guard.
We recommend using shielded Ethernet cable for outdoor installations or locations with high
levels of electromagnetic interference.
Power Connection
When connected to a standard Ethernet connection, Ranger Pro Gateways require an external
power supply connection using the supplied A-coded M12 field-wireable connector or optional
M12 power-cable accesory.
WARNING
WARNING HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT
The power connection also serves as an optional secondary power supply connection when
using a PoE plant network connection. If needed, use the supplied A-coded M12 field-wireable or
optional M12 power cable accessory to connect to an external power supply to establish a
redundant power-supply connection.
A secondary power supply allows for continued operation. Switching between power supplies
causes the gateway to reboot and results in temporary loss of wireless connectivity.
