Information
When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the
following:
• Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF exposure guidelines
for general public. Refer to General Public Compliance Boundary in RF
Exposure Guidelines on page -7.
• Stay aware of the potential risk of RF exposure and take appropriate
precautions. Refer to Occupational Compliance Boundary in RF Exposure
Guidelines on page -7.
• Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the
associated transmitter or transmitters are switched off.
• At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details of other
radio services active at the site and for their requirements/recommendations
for protection against potentially harmful exposure to RF radiation.
• When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-antenna site and
there is potential for exposure to harmful levels of RF radiation, wear a
protective suit.
• Do not look into the waveguide port of an ODU when the radio is active.
Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure location during
installation.
Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bend radius.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Reliable grounding of the 9500 MXC system must be maintained. Refer to
instructions in the manual for grounding of the ODU, ODU cable, lightning
surge suppressor, and indoor unit.
All 9500 MXC ODU cables must be fitted with the specified surge
suppressor(s).
9500 MXC dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be
routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any
power lines which cross them.
The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for a 9500 MXC indoor unit is
+45° C (113° F), and +55° C (131° F) for an ODU. To ensure correct operation
and to maximize long term component reliability, ambient temperatures must
not be exceeded. Operational specification compliance is not guaranteed for
higher ambients.
