Safety Precautions & Declared Material

General Equipment Precautions

Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure level amounts to 70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.

Static electricity may cause body harm, as well as harm to electronic components inside the device.

Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the IP-10C must use an ESD Wrist Strap.

ESD protection measures must be observed when touching the RFU.

To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device, all electrostatic must be discharged from both personnel and tools.

In Norway and Sweden:

Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective earthing – and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet utstyr – og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og kabel- TV nettet.” Translation to Swedish: ”Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk főr brand. Főr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet.

Précautions générales relatives à l'équipement

L’utilisation de commandes ou de réglages ou l'exécution de procédures autres que celles spécifiées dans les présentes peut engendrer une exposition dangereuse aux rayonnements.

Bruit de machine d’ordre - 3. GPSGV, le plus haut niveau de pression sonore s'élève à 70 dB (A) au maximum, dans le respect de la norme ISO EN 7779.

Allgemeine Vorsichtsmaßnahmen für die Anlage

Wenn andere Steuerelemente verwendet, Einstellungen vorgenommen oder Verfahren durchgeführt werden als die hier angegebenen, kann dies gefährliche Strahlung verursachen.

Maschinenlärminformations-Verordnung - 3. GPSGV, der höchste Schalldruckpegel beträgt 70 dB(A) oder weniger gemäß EN ISO 7779.

2.7 Antenna Connection

IP-10C uses Andrew, General Dynamics, RFS, Shenglu and Xian Putian antennas.

IP-10C can be mounted directly for all frequencies (6-42 GHz) using the following antenna types (for integrated antennas, specific antennas PNs are required):

Andrew: VHLP series

RFS: SB/SU series

Shenglu: SLC series

Xian Putian: WTC/WTG series

General Dynamics: HPS series

For remote mount installations, the following flexible waveguide flanges should be used (millimetric). The same antenna type (integrated) as indicated above can be used (recommended).

Other antenna types using the flanges listed in the table below may be used.

If a different antenna type (CPR flange) is used, a flange adaptor is required. Please contact your Ceragon representative for details.

Note: Conductive grease must be applied to the screws that connect the IP-10C to the antenna interface.

2.8 Adjusting for Horizontal and Vertical Polarization

Polarization changes in the IP-10C are made by adjusting the iris on the antenna port.

Attach the iris using two M3 screws, according to the antenna polarization:

For horizontal polarization, locate the holes above and below the letter “H” on the pins and fasten the two screws.



For vertical polarization, locate the holes above and below the letter “V” on the pins and fasten the two screws.

Note: For 6 GHz, separate irises are used for vertical and horizontal polarization. The vertical iris comes assembled with the IP-10C. The horizontal iris (MA-1840-X, IP-10C Twist 6Ghz Horizontal) is included in the IP-10C package.

2.9 Connecting Flexible Waveguides to the IP-10C

For an IP-10C operating in bands of 6-13 GHz, a remote mount adaptor must be used to connect a flexible waveguide.

For an IP-10C operating in bands of 15-42 GHz, you must remove the iris before connecting a flexible waveguide to the antenna port.

The following table provides the marketing models for the remote mount waveguide adaptor kits required, per frequency.

2.9.1 Connecting the Waveguide in 6-13 GHz Bands

1 Mount the remote adaptor and O-Ring to the pole mount using the four M5 flat screws supplied in the Remote Mount Adaptor kit, and tighten the screws.

2 Connect the flexible waveguide to the remote mount adaptor. Use screws (supplied with the waveguide kit) to fasten the waveguide.

2.9.2 Connecting the Waveguide in 15-42 GHz Bands

1 Remove the iris from the IP-10C (no adaptor is required for the 15-42 GHz bands).

2 Connect the waveguide to the antenna adaptor interface (the interface exposed by removing the iris). Use four screws (supplied with the waveguide kit) to fasten the waveguide end to the antenna adapter interface.



Note: It is normal for the flexible waveguide to reach the IP-10C at an angle of approximately 45°, as shown in the figure below.

2.10.4 Cap and Gland Installation

1 Mount the gland/cap with the O-Ring to the desired location and tighen it until there is full contact (see figure below) between the gland/gland cap and the cover.

Use the large (1.6x10x200) slot screwdriver to tighten the cap.

Use the locking pliers or 24mm wrench to tighten the gland.



2.10.5 Cable Installation – General

1 Open the bottom cover of the IP-10C.

Note: Do not remove the gasket.

Do not remove or cut the wire securing the cover to the IP-10C.

2 Connect the cables, as described in detail in the following sections:

Preparing and Connecting a Cat5E Cable

Connecting the Power Cable

Connecting SFP Cable

Connecting Bundled Cat5 Cable and Power Cable

3 Close the bottom cover using five M4 captive screws



4 Thread the screws without fastening. After all five screws are threaded in the required location, tighten the screws diagonally with 2.6Nm torque.

5 Tighten the gland cap using 10 Nm torque



2.10.6 Preparing and Connecting a Cat5E Cable

6 Take the Cat5E cable and strip off about 70mm of the outer insulation jacket.

7 Strip off about 15mm of the inner insulation jacket.

8 Release the gland cap slightly.

9 Insert the Cat5 cable into the Cable gland.

10 Insert the Cat5 plug boot into the cable with its face up.

11 Roll back the foil shield insulation and wrap the drain wire around the foil. Do not remove any insulation from the conductors.



12 Align the colored wires.

Note: Cord colors should be matched to the same pins on both ends of the cable.

13 Trim all the wires to the same length. About 12mm on the left should be exposed from the inner sheath.

14 Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug. Make sure each wire is fully inserted into the front of the RJ45 plug and in the correct order. The sheath of the Ethernet cable should extend into the plug by about ½ inches and will be held in place by the crimp.

15 The cable jacket with shield must extend into the connector about 5mm for strain relief and shielding connection.

16 Crimp the RJ45 plug with the crimper tool.

17 Verify that the wires ended up the right order and that the wires extend to the front of the RJ45 plug and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ45 plug.

18 Push back the Cat5 plug cover on the connector plug.

19 Disassemble the relevant cap.
