2.1 Safety Rules for Equipment Under Power

18 / 90
Injury from Equipment
Possible death or serious physical harm to personnel and damage to equipment
may result from mishandling.
While performing any maintenance tasks or procedures, you must follow any
local safety requirements, and those mentioned in this chapter.
For maintenance purposes, field operators may have to work on equipment
under power (-48 VDC or -60 VDC). This means that it is possible to touch
some parts under power that are only protected by heavy fuses. Maintenance
activities must be carried out carefully to avoid short circuits and to prevent
serious personal injury.
Conductive Objects: Remove all conductive objects from hands and arms
such as rings, bracelets, metallic wrist watches or similar. Use appropriate
insulated tools for maintenance activities.
Mobile Telephone: Do not use a mobile telephone when the BSC doors are
open. It can interfere with the operation of the BSC.
Uncommon Replacements: Alcatel-Lucent will perform a case-by-case
study and, if necessary, prepare a special replacement procedure. Any such
procedure is handled solely by Alcatel-Lucent.
