Warning, Cautions, and Notes

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes are found throughout this manual where applicable. The associated icons in warnings and cautions are used to quickly identify a potential condition that could result in the consequences described below if precautions are not taken. Notes clarify and provide additional information to assist the user. WARNING: The warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury or death. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical and RF circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. CAUTION: The caution symbol means the potential exists for equipment damage or loss of data.

NOTE: Notes contain helpful suggestions or references to material not covered in the document.

Safety
Any personnel involved in installation, operation, or service of units included in a Powerwave repeater systemmust understand and follow the points below: Powerwave repeaters are designed to receive and amplify signals from one or more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more mobile stations. And, also to act the other way round, that is to receive signals from one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit the signals to the base stations. Powerwave repeater systems must be used exclusively for this purpose and nothing else. Units supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and in conformity with the local prescriptions. For outdoor use, the power cord should meet at least IP65 encapsulation requirements. Do not turn the main power on until you are ready to commission the equipment. Power supply units supplied from the mains contain dangerous voltage that can cause electric shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in such a unit. Local regulations are to be followed when servicing such units. Only authorized service personnel are allowed to service units while the mains are connected. When opened, the cover must be secured. Otherwise, the cover can be closed by the wind and cause your fingers getting pinched or your head being hit. When working on an a repeater on high ground, for instance on a mast or pole, be careful not to drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause serious personal injury. All RF transmitting units, including the ALR Compact Repeater will generate radio signals and thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the health of any person who is extensively exposed close to an antenna. Beryllium oxide (BeO) may be contained in power devices, for instance in dummy loads in directional couplers (DCC), in combiner units (CMB), and in attenuators on the FON board. Beryllium oxide is poisonous if present as dust or smoke that can be inhaled. Do not file, grind, machine, or treat these parts with acid Coaxial cables used in many Powerwave systems have the insulation made of PTFE, polytetrafluoro ethylene, that gives off small amounts of hydrogen fluoride when heated. Hydrogen fluoride is poisonous. Do not use heating tools when stripping off coaxial cable insulation. No particular measures are to be taken in case of fire because the emitted concentration of hydrogen fluoride is very low.

Safety

ISG Interface Board

A NiCd battery is mounted in the repeater on the FON PCBA. These batteries contain environmental poisonous substances. If replaced, the old batteries should be disposed of as stated in the local prescriptions. A lithium battery is permanently mounted in repeater CU units, and in FON and OCM units. Due to the risk of explosion, this battery must only be removed from the board by an Powerwave authorized service technician. The FON unit contains a Class 1M laser transmitter that emits 24 mW invisible laser radiation at 1550 nm during operation and is intended for a restricted location. Avoid direct exposure from a disconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord. For example, do not view directly with optical instruments (magnifiers) and do not view directly with non-attenuating optical instruments. The FON Unit has this label attached:

Do not power up the FON unit if a fiber cable is not connected to the fiber output UL port, or if a fiber cable is connected to the port but disconnected at the other end. Never look at the end of a fiber cable. The 1310nm and 1550nm laser light is not visible. Always use an instrument, such as a power meter, to detect signaling.

Warning Signs
The following warning signs must be observed and be kept clean and readable.
Beryllium oxide hazard

Beryllium oxide This warning sign to the left is applied to boards and units which contain beryllium oxide parts. This warning sign below is applied at the bottom, inside the cabinet, below the power supply unit.

Human Exposure to RF Radiation

Safe distances must be kept when working around antennas. The following paragraphs describe the cautions to be aware of during the installation and maintenance of antenna systems and how to calculate safety distances needed for RF radiation at different antenna power and frequencies. Repeater Antennas To be able to receive and transmit signals, a repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and a service antenna directed towards the coverage area. A fiber optic cable from the base station might, however, be substituted for the donor antenna. Installation and Maintenance of Antenna Systems Installation and maintenance of all antenna systems must be performed with respect to the radiation exposure limits for public areas. The antenna radiation level is affected by the output power, antenna gain, viii 044-05310 Rev B

and transmission devices such as cables, connectors, splitters and feeders. Also have in mind the system minimum coupling loss, typically between 25dB and 35dB, is determined by a standard with the purpose to protect base stations from noise and other performance dropping effects. Radiation Exposure The World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) have determined recommendations for radiation exposure. ICNIRP recommends not to exceed the following radiation power for public exposure: Frequency Radiation power 800/900 MHz 1800/1900 MHz 2100 MHz 4.5W/m 9.0W/m 10.0W/m

For antennas larger than 20cm the maximum radiation power can be calculated by using the following formula: S= P/(4r2)
S = Radiation power in W/m P = Output power in W r = Distance between antenna and human in meters

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

ESD can severly damage essential parts of the equipment if not handled carefully. Parts on Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA) as well as other parts in the equipment are sensitive to ESD. Never touch the PCBA or uninsulated conductor surfaces unless absolutely necessary. If you must handle the PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces, use ESD protective equipment or first touch the chassis with your hand. Never let your clothes touch PCBAs or uninsulated conductor surfaces and always store PCBAs in ESD-safe bags.
