Fortress Wireless Access Bridge: Installation
9
WARNING: The
Bridge contains a
3V (7 year) lithium bat-
tery for time-keeping
purposes. It is not in-
tended to be operator-
or user-replaceable. To
avoid risk of personal
injury (and voiding of
the Bridge’s warranty),
refer all hardware ser-
vicing to Fortress Tech-
nical Support. There is a
risk of explosion if the bat-
tery is replaced by an in-
correct type. Dispose of
used batteries according
to the new battery dis-
posal instructions.
‹ General: This equipment must be installed by qualified
service personnel according to the applicable installation
codes. Do not locate the Bridge or antennas near power
lines or power circuits. When installing an external antenna,
take extreme care not to come into contact with such
circuits as they can cause serious injury or death. Avoid
metal ladders wherever possible. For proper installation
and grounding, refer to national and/or local codes
(WSNFPA 70 or, Canadian Electrical Code 54).
‹ Indoor/Outdoor Siting: The Secure Wireless Access Bridge,
with or without externally sited antennas, is intended only
for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE
802.3.af. All interconnected equipment connected to the
indoor/outdoor Bridge must be contained within the same
building, including the interconnected equipment's
associated LAN connections.
In outdoor environments, the Secure Wireless Access
Bridge shall be mounted on a wall, pole, mast or tower
using the included mounting bracket. When mounted
outside, the Bridge’s Front Panel Cover Plate (included)
provides the necessary water and dust resistance to
environmentally protect the unit. In addition, the three Front
Panel Cover Plate thumbscrews must be hand-tightened
(taking care not to over-tighten) to prevent the operator-
access area (USB, Console, Ethernet ports, and power
inlets) from being exposed. The Bridge should not be used
outside a home, school, or other public area where the
general population has access to it.
When sited inside, the unit is powered within SELV low
voltage safety limits with 48VDC PoE or 48VDC external
power. The included front-panel cover plate is not required
for indoor installations.
‹ Ambient Temperature: The temperature of the environment
in which the Bridge operates should not exceed the
maximum (
122º F/50º C ) or drop below the minimum
( 14º F/-10º C ) operating temperatures.
WARNING: To
avoid the risk of
severe electrical shock,
never remove the cov-
er, an exterior panel, or
any other part of the
Bridges’s chassis. There
are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Refer all
hardware servicing to
Fortress Technical Sup-
port.
‹ Powering: For external environments, the Bridge WAN
(PoE-PD) port must be PoE powered with the included
EBU101-01 adapter (or equivalent). The PoE adapter must
derive power from the included Fortress AC-to-48V DC (70
Watt) power source to meet the safety isolation
requirements defined in UL 60950. The PoE adaptor is
designed for indoor use only. Never mount the power
injector outside with the Secure Wireless Access Bridge.
For internal environments, the Bridge can be 1) direct
powered by the universal AC-to-48V DC (70 Watt) power
adapter, 2) PoE powered over the WAN port with the
included EBU101-01 POE adapter (or equivalent), or 3)
