Safety - specific hazards

Overview

The following safety hazards must be observed when performing site prep installation procedures.

DANGERDANGER

DANGER

Electric-shock hazard

Working in severe weather can result in personal injury or death and damage to the equipment.

Never install or perform maintenance during severe weather (high winds, lightning, blizzards, hurricane, etc.).

WARNINGDANGER

WARNING

Electric-shock hazard

Some parts of all electrical installations are energized. Failure to observe this fact and the safety warnings may lead to bodily injury and property damage.

For this reason, only trained and qualified personnel (electrical workers as defined in IEC 60215 or EN 60215 + A1 or in the National Electrical Code or ANSI/NFPA No. 70) may install or service the installation.

WARNINGDANGER

WARNING

Electric-shock hazard

The power supply lines to the network element are energized. Contact with parts carrying voltage can cause health problems, possibly including death, even hours after the event.

Open and lockout the load disconnect switch in the distribution box to completely de-energize the network element.

WARNINGDANGER

WARNING

Inhalation hazard

Inhalation of Beryllium Oxide (BeO) can result in serious illness. The RF transmitter units include components which contain Beryllium Oxide (BeO). In this form, BeO ceramics do not constitute a hazardous material as long as components remain intact.

Do not physically damage or pulverize components which contain Beryllium Oxide.

DANGER

CAUTION

Service-disruption hazard

Sudden changes in the weather may lead to the formation of condensation on components. Operating the unit when condensation moisture is present can destroy the unit.

Units which show signs of condensation must be dried before being installed and energized.

CAUTION

Electrostatically Sensitive Components

Semiconductor elements can be damaged by static discharges.

The following rules must be complied with when handling any module containing semiconductor components:
