VOLUME I, CHAPTER 1, HEALTH AND SAFETY
General Hazards
The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when plan-
ning and installing an Eclipse system.
For more information on health and safety when using Aviat Networks products,
refer to the Best Practices Guide.
Topic Information
Airflow Requirements Rack installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and
correct operation of Eclipse is not compromised. For the fan-cooled
Eclipse INUs and IDUs, unobstructed air passage must be maintained
to each side of the chassis, which requires a minimum of 50 mm (2
inches) of side spacing to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar.
Where a Fan Air Filter is installed in an INU it must not be allowed to
become clogged with dust. Replace when necessary. Inspection must
be at not more than 12 monthly intervals when installed in
telecommunications equipment room controlled-air environments.
Otherwise, inspection is required at more frequent intervals.
EMC Eclipse has been tested for and meets EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.
The equipment was tested using screened cable; if any other type of
cable is used, it may violate compliance.
Eclipse is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required
to take adequate measures. This equipment is intended to be used
exclusively in telecommunications centers.
ESD ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components.
Even if components remain functional, ESD can cause latent damage
that results in premature failure. Always wear proper ESD grounding
straps when changing or handling the plug-in cards and avoid hand
contact with the PCB back-plane and top-plane. Connect your ESD
grounding strap to the combined ESD and ground connector on the
INU rack ear. Spare plug-in cards or cards to be returned for service
must be enclosed in an anti-static bag. When removing a card from
the anti-static bag for installation in an INU, or placing a card in a bag,
do so at the INU and only when connected to the INU via your ESD
grounding strap.
Circuit Overloading When connecting an Eclipse terminal determine the effect this will
have on the power supply circuit protection devices, and supply
wiring. Check Eclipse 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.
