Affinity LBD-200C-N1 Transmitter
Product Manual
5.5 Equipment Packaging
The transmitter is packaged at the factory on a single skid. Assemblies to be
mounted in the transmitter are packed in crates. The skid and crates may contain
one or more precaution labels or markings. These markings provide information
regarding the various precautions that should be observed during the handling,
unpacking, and storage of the equipment crate. Examples of these precautions may
include positioning, fragility, and weather constraint labels.
NOTE: Acceptable storage climate for the equipment crate is between -30ºC to +60ºC.
5.5.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Before taking delivery, and prior to removing the contents of the crates, examine the exterior of
the crates for evidence of shipping damage. If any damage is visible to the crate or the contents,
do not continue to unpack the equipment. Protect the goods from further damage and contact
the freight carrier and Thales immediately for further instructions.
If the crate is free from damage, the equipment may be carefully removed. The following tools
are recommended for the unpacking process:
x Cutter
x Screwdriver
Remove the packing slip from the cover of the crate. Using the screwdriver, remove the top
cover and one of the sides of the shipping crate. With the cutter, carefully cut through the cover
material. Be careful not to damage any equipment during this process.
Once the equipment has been removed from the crate and verified against the packing slip,
inspect the equipment for any signs of damage. If any damage is visible, contact Thales
immediately for further instructions. While unpacking, carefully compare packing list with the
equipment, checking for in-transit damage at the same time. Should any damage be noted,
notify the freight carrier at once to file a freight claim. Do not discard any packing material until
told to do so by the carrier. Also, notify Thales Broadcast & Multimedia of any damages or
missing materials from the shipment. Retain original boxes and internal packing materials to
adequately protect equipment to be returned to the factory for repairs, upgrades, or
modifications.
5.6 Environment Considerations
The equipment housed in outdoor enclosures can be safely operated in ambient temperatures
of -15º to +45º Celsius (5º to +113º Fahrenheit) The RF power regulation and frequency
determining devices are qualified to operate across -30 to +50º Celsius (-22º to +122º
Fahrenheit) However, the channel filter will tolerate much less temperature variation. Therefore,
if not installed in a qualified outdoor enclosure with HVAC system, Thales recommends that the
transmitter be operated within r10q Celsius from room ambient. Moderate temperatures
generally extend equipment life. Although the equipment may be operated with relative humidity
