About Bridges
A Silver Spring bridge provides high‐performance, reliable, and secure DNP3 transport
between remote terminal units (RTUs) and data centers. The Silver Spring Networks Bridge
family includes Bridge 4.0, eBridges, and sBridges.
Bridges are manufactured to perform one of two roles: Master or Remote. A Master Bridge
provides the connection or take‐out point for the Remote Bridges to the SCADA system. The
Remote Bridges connect to the RTUs to provide connectivity back to the Master.
For details and ordering information about these and other Silver Spring devices, refer to the

1 About Bridges
Note: For Distribution Automation deployments, a high gain antenna is recommended for use with
all Bridges. We recommend using the 6dBi omnidirectional antenna (catalog number 201-000002).
4. Connect the grounding wire to the grounding lug on the back of the Bridge and connect
the wire to ground.
5. Connect the power to a suitable AC or DC outlet.
6. DC polarity on the Bridges is important. To ensure the proper polarity, the DC power
cord plugs into the Bridge only one way. The red cable must then be connected to the
positive, and the black cable must then be connected to the negative of the power source.
7. Configure the Bridge with Bridge Configurator v2.2 or higher and a Field Service Unit
(FSU) (recommended).

Safety Information
WARNING: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in
massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will
result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce
dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical
shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines.
Careful planning of every job is essential. Nothing should be taken for granted. Do not take
chances!
•
Read and follow all approved policies and procedures provided by your employer
associated with the procedures in this manual.
•
The procedures in this manual must only be performed by qualified workers in
accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and applicable OSHA
and NFPA standards.

•
Silver Spring Networks assumes no liability for the customerʹs failure to follow these
safety guidelines.
General Electrical Safety
•
Perform the procedures in this manual in accordance with applicable workplace
standards established by the following agencies:
— Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
— The National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA‐70).
— National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
— Electronics Industries Association (EIA).
— Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA).
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Whenever possible, de‐energize all
circuits or equipment before working on them.
•
Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) between line potential and all
unqualified persons at all times.
•
Keep unauthorized people out of the work area. Be especially cautious of children, who
tend to be drawn to work activity.
•
Determining if a circuit is OFF can be difficult in some instances. Check for circuit voltage
with an appropriate voltmeter before working on equipment presumed to have been
de‐energized. Tiebreakers, double throw disconnect switches, automatic transfer
switches and emergency generators can supply power through an alternate circuit or
from another source.
•
120V current can be just a lethal as higher voltages because current flow through a body
depends upon the bodyʹs resistance.
•
Do not trust insulation and/or weatherproofing on a wire as protection from shock.
•
Use electrically insulated tools. Inspect portable electrical equipment or tools for defects
and remove any defective devices from service immediately. All portable electrical
equipment must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection.
•
Select the right tool for the job. Use tools properly. Keep tools in good working order.
•
Make sure the work area is free of any flammable material. Flammable vapors can be
ignited by an arc flash.
•
Keep the work area clean and dry. Cluttered work areas cause accidents and injuries.
•
Provide good lighting in the work area. You cannot work safely if you cannot see what
you are doing.
•
Report unsafe conditions or defective equipment to your immediate supervisor.

2 FCC and Government Guidelines
Handle material carefully. Lift and carry properly.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
•
Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), in accordance with OSHA and ANSI
standards.
•
Wear eye protection and electrically insulated gloves. Test gloves in accordance with
ANSI standards before use. Do not use gloves that do not pass appropriate test
procedures.
•
Wear protective clothing such as long sleeve shirts and long pants made of flame resistant
materials.
•
Remove all jewelry.
•
Do not pass any objects to or from other persons not protected by insulating platforms or
tested, electrically insulated gloves.
Fall Protection
When performing work at any elevation:
•
Always use a fall protection system, in accordance with OSHA standards, whenever
performing work at any elevation.
•
Never use conductors, guy wires, pins, or cross‐arm braces, etc. to support your weight.
•
Whenever using aerial lift devices such as hoists, man‐lifts, vehicle‐mounted work
platforms and overhead lifts, read and follow the manufacturerʹs guidelines for safe and
proper operation.
•
Use ladders and scaffolding only in accordance with the manufacturerʹs guidelines
and/or according to OSHA standards.
•
Only use ladders made of non‐metallic, non‐conductive material. They should be the
proper size and type for the work intended. Inspect ladders for wear and breakage.
Remove any oil, grease, or other slippery materials.
•
Do not set the ladder at too steep or too shallow of an angle. A rule of thumb is to stand
erect with your toes against the bottom rails of the ladder, with your arms extended
straight out. If you can set your palms on top of the rung that is at eye level, the ladder
should be at the proper angle. If a ladder angle label is provided, follow its
recommendations.
•
If the ladder is to remain in place for an extended period, secure it at the top. The support
point at the top of the ladder should be at least 24 inches (60 centimeters) wide to
maintain support in the event of sideways movement. For jobs of short duration, have a
fellow worker support the ladder at the base.
•
Evaluate all tasks to be performed from a ladder for potential fall hazards, such as
complex tasks or situations that require leaning from the side of the ladder.
•
The use of scaffolding or a work platform should be considered as an alternative solution
in such cases.

Shock Accident First Aid
•
Do not touch the victim with your bare hands; use something non‐conductive to separate
the victim from the energy source.
•
Call for emergency medical help immediately. Keep the victim lying down, warm, and
comfortable until help arrives. Avoid moving the victim in case of injury to neck or back.
Position an unconscious victim on a side to let fluids drain.
•
Check the victimʹs breathing and heartbeat. If properly trained, apply mouth‐to‐mouth
resuscitation and/or CPR if necessary.
•
Remove constricting items from the victim, such as shoes, belts, jewelry, and tight collars;
they could cut off circulation if the victim experiences swelling.
•
Apply water or saline for a few minutes to any burns until the skin returns to normal
temperature. Do not attempt to remove clothing that is stuck to a burn. If possible, elevate
burned areas to reduce swelling.
•
Make sure the victim receives professional medical attention, even if they feel fine.
Electric shock can cause heart failure hours after the shock is received.
