TB8100 Installation and Operation ManualInstallation59 © Tait Electronics Ltd March 2004 5Installation This chapter describes how to install the TB8100 BSS in a standard 19 inch rack or cabinet. It also provides some general information on safety precautions and site requirements. We recommend that you read the entire chapter before beginning the installation. 5.1Personal Safety Lethal Voltages Warning!!The PMU contains voltages that may be lethal. Refer to the ratings label on the rear of the module. The TB8100 BSS must be installed so that the rear of the PMU is located in a service access area. Disconnect the mains IEC connector and wait for five minutes for the internal voltages to self-discharge before dismantling. The AC power on/off switch does not isolate the PMU from the mains. It breaks only the phase circuit, not the neutral. The PMU should be serviced only by qualified technicians. All servicing should be carried out only when the PMU is powered through a mains isolating transformer of sufficient rating. We strongly recommend that the mains power to the whole of the repair and test area is supplied via an earth leakage circuit breaker. Explosive Environments Warning!!Do not operate TB8100 BSS equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmos- phere. Operating the equipment in these envi- ronments is a definite safety hazard. Proximity to RF Transmissions Do not operate the transmitter when someone is standing within 90 cm (3ft) of the antenna. Do not operate the transmitter unless you have checked that all RF connectors are secure. 60InstallationTB8100 Installation and Operation Manual © Tait Electronics Ltd March 2004 High Temperatures Take care when handling a PMU or PA which has been operating recently. Under extreme operating conditions (+ 60° C [+140° F] ambient air temperature) or high duty cycles the external surfaces of the PMU and PA can reach temperatures of up to + 80°C (+176°F). 5.2Equipment Safety ESD Precautions ImportantThis equipment contains devices which are susceptible to damage from static charges. You must handle these devices carefully and according to the procedures described in the manufacturers’ data books. We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 5.1 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. Aerial Load The TB8100 BSS equipment has been designed to operate safely under a wide range of aerial loading conditions. However, we strongly recommend that the transmitter should always be operated with a suitable load to prevent damage to the transmitter output power stage.

Installation and Servicing Personnel The TB8100 BSS should be installed and serviced only by qualified personnel. 5.3Regulatory Information Distress Frequencies The 406 to 406.1MHz frequency range is reserved worldwide for use by Distress Beacons. Do not program transmitters to operate in this frequency range. FCC Compliance This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. Unauthorised Modifications Any modifications you make to this equipment which are not authorised by Tait Electronics Ltd may invalidate your compliance authority’s approval to operate the equipment. 5.4Environmental Conditions Operating Temperature Range The operating temperature range of the TB8100 BSS is – 30°C to +60°C (–22°F to + 140°F) ambient temperature. Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the air at the intake to the cooling fans. Humidity The humidity should not exceed 95% relative humidity through the specified operating temperature range. 62InstallationTB8100 Installation and Operation Manual © Tait Electronics Ltd March 2004 Dust and Dirt For uncontrolled environments, the level of airborne particulates must not exceed 100 μg/m 3 . 5.5Grounding and Lightning Protection Electrical Ground The TB8100 BSS modules are grounded by physical contact between the module case and the subrack. To ensure a good ground connection you must tighten each module retaining clamp securely (refer to “Final Reassembly” on page 81 for the correct torque setting). A threaded grounding connector is provided on the rear of the subrack for connection to the site ground point (refer to “Connection” on page 83 for more details). Lightning Ground It is extremely important for the security of the site and its equipment that you take adequate precautions against lightning strike. While it is outside the scope of this manual to provide comprehensive information on this subject, the following guidelines apply: ■install a suitable lightning rod at the top of the tower and connect it to a secure ground point with appropriate conductors and connectors ■position site buildings and equipment within the cone of protection provided by the grounded tower ■protect all cables entering the site to prevent lightning energy from entering site buildings. 5.6Recommended Tools It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every tool that an installation technician should carry. However, the following tools are specifically required for installing the TB8100 BSS: ■Pozidriv PZ3 screwdriver for the M6 screws used to secure the subrack to the rack or cabinet, and also for the DC input terminals on the PMU ■Pozidriv PZ2 screwdriver for the M4 screws …
