Chapter 1: Safety and Certification Draft: 12/8 3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warnings What is ESD? ESD can be generated and stored in a person’s body through routine activity, forming a charge. If this static electric charge does not dissipate before the person handles electronic equipment, it can be discharged into equipment and cause damage to electrostatic-sensitive components. ESD damage can be catastrophic; more often it subtly degrades the performance of equipment over time.
Draft: 12/8 PTM 1000 Installation and Maintenance Manual Moisture-Sensitive Device (MSD) Warnings Some units and/or assemblies are shipped in vacuum-sealed packages to protect moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs). An MSD is a component in which moisture can accumulate and cause damage when the component is not powered or is not in use. After an MSD unit or assembly is removed from its vacuum-sealed package, the MSD must be kept in a dry place not susceptible to moisture.
Chapter 1: Safety and Certification Draft: 12/8 5 Electrical Safety Guidelines Use the following electrical safety guidelines before installing the Hub or remote units. To avoid electrical shocks, burns or equipment damage, read and observe all warnings and cautions. In Case of an Electrical Accident If an electrical accident occurs: • Do not become a victim yourself. • Disconnect power to the system. • Send another person to get medical aid if possible.
Draft: 12/8 PTM 1000 Installation and Maintenance Manual Warning Hazardous energy exists within the Hub IDU. Use extreme caution when performing troubleshooting or disassembly. Always be careful to avoid electric shock or equipment damage. Warning Do not wear items that could get caught in the chassis or module slots, such as a tie, jewelry (including rings and chains) or loose clothing. Warning Metal components heat up when connected to power and ground, and can cause serious burns.
Chapter 1: Safety and Certification Draft: 12/8 7 Electrical Guidelines for Telephony or Network Support Follow these guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source, but still connected to telephone or network wiring: • Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. • Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Draft: 12/8 PTM 1000 Installation and Maintenance Manual Lifting Guidelines During installation, some lifting is required to set up the equipment. Before installing the hardware, be certain that your site is carefully located and prepared to accommodate power sources and network connections. Note Once installed, the Hub and remote units are stationary. They are not intended to be moved frequently.
