Electrical Safety Guidelines The following lists electrical safety guidelines when working with the WipLL equipment: ! Disconnect all power when installing ! Never install the equipment during stormy weather and lightening 2-2 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-06 Hardw are Installation Guide Safety Guidelines 2.2.1. Handling Electrostatic Devices Electrostatic devices are those devices that may be damaged by the inadvertent discharge of static electricity from a charged body. The risk of damage, due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) to a device, may cause the device to fail suddenly, or it may induce a partial defect within the device, which will cause subsequent premature failure. Static electricity can result from operators walking on floors, moving around on chairs, from the movement of operator's clothing or even casual brushing against racks, benches or walls. Airspan recommends the following guidelines to be adopted to minimize the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge to the device: ! WipLL devices are provided typically in see-through anti-static bags. Wherever possible, checking and inspection of a unit should occur without removing it from the bag. ! All operators shall wear the approved conductive overall. ! Where operators come into direct contact with any piece of electronic hardware, operators must wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap. All straps and cords should be tested using a Wrist Strap Tester prior to use. The wrist strap cords shall have a 2 Meg Ohm resistor fitted at either end. Wrist straps should be worn in direct contact with bare skin and not over clothing. Warning: Under no circumstances is it permissible for units to be handled by unprotected operators. 02030311-06 Airspan Networks Ltd. 2-3 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.2.2. Grounding Only certain WipLL devices require additional grounding. WipLL devices that do not require additional grounding have grounding at the main supply outlet. The following table lists the WipLL devices’ grounding requirements. Site Base Station CPE WipLL device Grounding BSR Through the mains (via BSDU) BSDU Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear end of chassis) BSPS Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear end of chassis) SPR Through the mains (via SDA) IDR Through the mains 2.3. Lightening Protection WipLL devices comply to the Surge Immunity standard: EN 61000-4-5. WipLL devices are protected from lightening surges as the outdoor devices (BSRs and SPRs) are encased in a plastic chassis. Therefore, if lightening strikes the device, an electrical circuit cannot be completed, and hence, no electrical surge can occur. In addition, WipLL outdoor and indoor (SDA) devices provide high speed data line protection against direct and induced transient over-voltages surges on the cables. This capability is provided by the fact that all WipLL device are designed with TVS (transient voltage suppressor) components that maintain potential differences. However, for geographical areas that have above normal lightening activity, Airspan can supply a surge protector composed of a 15-pin D-type adapter with a grounding wire. 2-4 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-06 Hardw are Installation Guide Safety Guidelines 2.4. Installing Outdoor & Indoor Units and Third-Party External Antennas Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and per antenna type. Warning : Outdoor, Indoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void Airspan’s WipLL product warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. Airspan and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas. Warning: When operating in the 900 MHz band, the IDR model with an external antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Warnings: 1) The device cannot be sold retail, to the general public or by mail order. It must be sold to dealers. 2) Installation must be controlled. 3) Installation must be performed by licensed professionals. 4) Installation requires special training. 02030311-06 Airspan Networks Ltd. 2-5 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.6. Radio Interference Prevention The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures: ! Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna ! Increase separation between the equipment and receiver ! Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected ! Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Warning: The WipLL transceivers emit microwave radiation; a minimum distance of 200 mm must be maintained from the front of the device, and a minimum separation of 1 meter must exists between adjacently installed WipLL transceivers. 2.7. Cabling This section defines the cabling procedures to be adopted during WipLL equipment installations at both base station and subscriber premises. 2.7.1. General A summary of issues to be considered during cabling of WipLL base station and customer premises equipment is as follows: 2-6 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-06 Hardw are Installation Guide Safety Guidelines ! Cable routes are to be defined in the site-specific documentation. ! Data and DC power cables running parallel to AC power cables shall be separated by a minimum distance of 200 mm. However, it is permissible to allow these cables to cross each other at right angles. ! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables. Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve with a radius of at least 50 mm to prevent damage. ! Plastic ties and wraps are to be used to secure cables to trays and guides. Ensure all trimmed ends are disposed of safely and at regular intervals. ! Data cables of less than 20 pair shall be mixed in bundles not exceeding 50 mm in diameter. ! Ensure cables are not trapped in cabinet doors, by slide-in equipment or support metalwork. ! Excessive stress on cable terminations caused by taught cables should be avoided. Connector strain relief, if not built into the connector used, shall be provided by means of a strategically located cable tie. ! A maintenance loop or a generous amount of cable slack shall be provided to allow for equipment removal without disturbance to adjacent cables. ! Cables run in guides or on trays shall be kept as flat as possible and secured at regular intervals using cable ties. Note: Prior to the commencement of any installation, commissioning work at ‘live’ sites it is the responsibility of the Airspan engineer to advise the customers representative before any activity commences. If in doubt assume equipment is ‘live’. Warning: Disturbance of cables on an In-Service exchange can cause loss of service. Extreme care must be taken when installing cables at any customer or subscriber premises. 02030311-06 Airspan Networks Ltd. 2-7 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.7.2.
