ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Topic Information
Protection from RF
Exposure
To ensure compliance with the FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure
requirements, a minimum distance of 18 meters must be maintained
between the antenna and any persons whilst the unit is operational.
When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply
with the following:
- Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first
ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched
off.
- At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details
of other radio services active at the site and for their require-
ments/recommendations for protection against potentially harm-
ful exposure to RF radiation.
- When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-
antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful levels
of RF radiation, wear a protective suit.
- Do not look into the waveguide port of an ODU or into an unter-
minated waveguide when the radio is active.
Fiber Optic Cables Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure
location during installation.
Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bend radius.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Ground Connections Reliable grounding of the Eclipse system must be maintained. Refer
to instructions in the manual for equipment grounding.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in ground
conductors.
Mains Power Supply
Routing
Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be
routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away
from any power lines which cross them.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for Eclipse indoor units
is +55° C (131° F). Special conditions apply to the INUs - for more
information see Power Consumption within Power Supply on page
72. To ensure correct operation and to maximize long term
component reliability, ambient temperatures must not be exceeded.
Operational specification compliance is not guaranteed for higher
ambients.
Mechanical Loading When installing an indoor unit in a rack, ensure the rack is securely
anchored. Ensure that the additional loading of an Eclipse indoor unit
or units will not cause any reduction in the mechanical stability of the
rack.
