Warranties and insurance are about the same…..they only cover stuff that doesn’t happen.

Still get AP failures, but those are almost all 450Ms that get water in them. Of course, they would all fail after the 1yr warranty, but then Cambium extended it to 3yrs on newer units; great new, right? Weust had another get water in it inside the 3yr period, and now they are saying water damage voids warranty. I ask them how it's our fault the unit's weather proofing failed, and after waiting months for a response on the ticket, I get a copy paste response of the exact same "water damage voids warranty" line from before... Not happy.

The upper is usually the Cambium spec unit. The lower unit may be Cambium, Chuck’s surge suppressors, or where we are using CTM’s it's the internal surge suppression. While I have the same concerns about the SS failing and requiring an extra climb we have had enough bad experiences with AP failures that we install the tower top surge suppression.

Does anyone here actually do that? Every installation I’ve seen in person has only had them on the bottom. I think the fears people have are the SS housing leaking up or otherwise having to climb for a problem with the SS. -Adam -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
