The installation site shall be selected according to network planning and features of communications device, and considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation
Caution
Please follow the correct methods described in the installation guide to install and remove the device
Handling Safety
- Prevent the device from being frequently handled.
- Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the device
Electric Safety
Warning
- Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead to severe and fatal personal injury and device damage.
- Direct or indirect contact with high voltage or mains power supply via wet objects may cause fatal dangers.
- Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant qualifications can perform such operations.
- Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is grounded, whether the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.
- Find out the location of the emergency power supply switch in the room before installation. First cut off the power supply in case of an accident.
- Be sure to make a careful check before you shut down the power supply.
- Do not place the device in a damp/wet location. Do not let any liquid enter the device.
- Keep the device far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices of power device.
- Keep the device away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current devices.
Installation Environment Requirements
To ensure normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the device, the installation site must meet the following requirements.
Environment Requirements
- Install the device in a well-ventilated environment. If it is installed in a closed room, make sure there is a good cooling system.
- Make sure the site is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories.
- Make sure the site has enough space for installing the device and leave sufficient space around the device for ventilation.
Lightning Protection Requirements
- When the connection cable between the main grounding conductor and local equipotential earthing terminal board (LEB) on each floor is shorter than 2 meters, use a stranded copper wire with a sectional area not less than 1.318 mm2 (16 AWG) for the connection cable.
- Use a shielded network cable if possible, ensure that devices connected to both ends of the shielded network cable are reliably grounded, and make sure that the sheath of the shielded network cable is also grounded if possible. If no shielded network cable is available, wire the network cable through a steel pipe and bury the steel pipe for lead-in, and properly ground both ends of the steel pipe.
- No additional lightning protector is required as a high-profile lightning protector is built in the device and the antenna port and power port support 4kV lightning protection. If a lightning protector of a higher profile is available, configure the lightning protector optionally. Before the configuration, connect the lightning protector to the ground cable.
Temperature/ Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the device, maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.. The equipment room with too high or too low temperature and humidity for a long period may damage the device.
- In an environment with high humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak electricity and sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may get rusted.
- In an environment with low humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, and static electricity is prone to occur and damage the internal circuits of the device.
- In an environment with high temperature, the device is subjected to even greater harm, as its performance may degrade significantly and its useful life may be shortened in the case of long-term exposure that expedites the aging process.
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
| Operating Temperature | Operating Humidity: |
| -30°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F) | 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing) |
Anti-interference Requirements
- Take interference prevention measures for the power supply system.
- Keep the device far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices of power device.
- Keep the device far away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current devices.
