Zhone SkyZhone 1624 Hardware Installation Manual page 3

WARNING!
The SkyZhone product is a line power device conforming to UL 60950-1 and UL
60950-21 standards. The DC voltages (RFT-V signals) are provided to SkyZhone
through the SHDSL connector. These voltages must be provided by a UL
60950-1 and UL 60950-21 certified power source, typically located at the Central
Office. One such certified power source is the Argus Technologies CSM35
Modular Converter System (#012-550-B2). Uncertified power sources can result
in injury or death.
Proper Safety Grounding is required to insure proper operation and protection
from lightning strikes and surges. A copper ground lug is provided on the unit
for this purpose. Connect a length of #10 AWG solid, bare, copper wire to the
grounding lug and firmly tighten the grounding screw (see Figure 20). Connect
the other end of the grounding wire to a grounded surface or another earth
ground such as a metal rod. This ground must be install before applying power
to the unit.
SkyZhone provides both Primary and Secondary lightning and surge protection
to the SHDSL and PoE cable signals. The Console cable signals are not
protected and this cable, which is not intended for outdoor use, should not be
connected when the unit is installed.
This unit is powered by high voltage over the SHDSL lines. Electrical shock and
personal injury can occur by touching the leads with the power on. Verify that
the SHDSL lines are deenergized before installing or removing the equipment.
Always turn the power off at the DSLAM before installing or removing this
equipment.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
require the use of an agency listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector for all
power and data communications cables entering a building. This is to protect
the building and occupants from damage caused by transient voltage and
current surges.
A UL 497 (CSA C22.2 No. 226-92) approved primary protection device must be
used at the building entrance if the Ethernet port is used to provide in-building
access to the SkyZhone network. Also check with local wiring codes.
Caution:
•
This product requires professional installation.
•
The unit is sealed at the factory and must not be opened in the field. The unit shall
be returned to the factory for repairs.
•
Serious injury can occur if the antennas come in contact with electric power lines.
Carefully follow the instructions in this manual. During and after installation, the
antennas must be a minimum of 24 inches from any power lines. Use caution
when installing this outdoor equipment.
•
FCC RF Exposure Requirements (per OET-65) requires the SkyZhone platform to
be mounted such that the general public does not come within 10 inches of the
antennae.
•
The PoE (Power over Ethernet) connector sources power to other devices. Some
devices may not be compatible with this feature. In that case, do not connect the
wires that supply the power. The power is 48 volts DC, at a maximum of 5 watts.
