Chapter 2 Safety
2.1 Safety rules
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the mains power socket matches the voltage and
frequency inscribed on the equipment’s electrical rating label.
• Never install telephone wiring during a thunderstorm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch un-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Note: Avoid touching or punching down the Base Station signal and power pairs as there is -48Vdc
present on these wires at all times.
• Use caution and observe all relevant safety standards when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Always install conform relevant national installation rules.
• Only mount the radio exchange to a wall.
• Do not mount the modular cabinet to a drywall using insertable plastic drywall plugs. These will
not safely support the cabinet. See Installation section for recommended mounting.
• Suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only. [This refers to the floor
covering/material beneath the cabinet(s)].
• Disconnect all power sources before servicing equipment.
• Make sure that the radio exchange is connected to telecom or protective ground.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a thunderstorm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• In areas with potentially explosive atmospheres only cordless phones may be used. Use of other
types of cordless phones in such areas may cause a risk of explosion.
• The Modular Cabinet must be mounted in a restricted area.
• The power source must be short circuit protected (15 A maximum).
• For the Modular Cabinet use Class II power sources, double insulated conforms to (EN60950
(Europe) Uout ≤ 42 Vac rms or ≤ 58 Vdc) or (UL1950 (US & Canada) Uout ≤ 58 Vdc) only.
The power source branch circuit over current protection must be rated 15A. The power source
must be short circuit protected (15A maximum).
• Only approved power supplies according to valid editions of EN/IEC/CSA/UL/AU/NZS 60950 are
to be used when the base stations are powered by local power supplies.
• Use only approved spare parts and accessories. The operation of non-approved parts cannot be
guaranteed and may even cause damage or danger.
• Service is to be performed by qualified personnel only.
