2) Do not stand in front of or look into any antennas.
Safety Warnings: When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the
user or to the radio equipment, a warning is included in this manual.
Airflow Requirements: Installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and
correct operation of Trango equipment is not compromised. For the GigaPlus ODU,
unobstructed air passage must be maintained to all sides of the unit. For the GigaPlus
IDU, the back of the unit must be kept clear to allow the fan to operate properly.
Circuit Overloading: When connecting the GigaPlus, determine the effect this will have
on the power supply, circuit protection devices, and supply wiring. Check GigaPlus
power consumption specifications and the supply capability of the power supply system.
This check of capacity must extend to the dc power supply and not just to an
intermediate connection point.
Power Supply Earthing: -48 V power supply earth must be connected directly
to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage electronic components. Even if
components remain functional, ESD can cause latent damage and/or premature failure.
Always wear proper ESD grounding straps when handling or touching any PCB
assemblies. Connect your ESD grounding strap to the ground connector on the ODU or
IDU units as applicable
Fiber Optic Cables: 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.
Ground Connections: Reliable grounding of the system must be maintained. Refer to
instructions in this manual for grounding of the ODU, ODU cable, lightning surge
suppressor, and IDU.
Lightning Surge Suppressor: The GigaPlus IDU to ODU IF cable must be fitted with surge
suppressors to prevent damage to equipment. See the installation section for further
details.
Mains Power Supply Routing: GigaPlus DC power, T1/E1, Ethernet data and
management 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.
Ambient Temperature: The ambient temperature range for the GigaPlus ODU is -40° to
+65° Celsius, and -5° to +55° Celsius for the IDU. To ensure operation and to maximize
