Antenna Integrated Radio Unit DescriptionNote:Please note and adhere to the following for safety and operationreasons: The mechanical design of AIR Unit 6468 (below the “AIRUnit”) is based on environmental conditions which are equal to orexceeding class 4.1 as specified in EN 300 019-1-4 and GR-487CORE and thereby respects the static mechanical load imposed onan AIR Unit by wind at maximum velocity. Wind loads in thisdocument are calculated with reference to wind pressure. For moreaccurate results, the specific terrain information for relevant sites andgeographical area where the AIR Unit will be installed needs to becarefully analyzed, considered and calculated according to EN1991-1-4.Pole clamps, brackets, mounting accessories and other installationmaterial or equipment specified by Ericsson in the AIR Unit productinformation documentation must be used and Ericsson s installationinstructions be complied with. In addition, it must be observed thatspecific environmental conditions that the AIR Unit becomes exposedfor, such as icing, heat, dust, dynamic stress (e.g. strain caused byoscillating support structures) or other environmental conditions thatexceed or otherwise deviate from the Environmental Characteristicson page 13, may result in the breakage of an AIR Unit or itsmounting accessories and even cause the AIR Unit to fall to theground.The above mentioned facts, information and circumstances must beconsidered and properly taken into account during the site planningprocess and adhered to for installation and operation of the AIR Unit.Ericsson expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability arising outof failures in this regard.491/1551-LZA 701 6001/1 Uen X 2018-03-12
