4 Installation TB7100 Installation Guide
© Tait Electronics Limited May 2005
We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable
manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.
You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers
of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD
S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.
1.2.2 Antenna Load
The TB7100 base station has been designed to operate safely under a wide
range of antenna loading conditions. However, damage will occur if the load
is removed while the base station is transmitting. Transmitting into a low
VSWR will maximise the power delivered to the antenna.
1.2.3 Equipment Grounding
To ensure safe operation the TB7100 base station must be correctly
grounded as described in these installation instructions.
1.2.4 Installation and Servicing Personnel
The TB7100 base station should be installed and serviced only by qualified
personnel.
