ECLIPSE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Topic Information
Eclipse Indoor Unit and
DC Supply Grounding
The ground for Eclipse indoor unit(s) must be connected directly to
the dc supply system ground conductor, or to a bonding jumper from
a grounding terminal bar, or bus to which the dc supply system
grounding is connected.
Intrabuilding interfaces
and cabling for NEBS
compliance
Intrabuilding connections to/from Eclipse ports must only be
connected via intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling.
Intrabuilding ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces
that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed
for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as
described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the
exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not
sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically
to OSP wiring.
Shielded and grounded cables must be used for intrabuilding cabling
to/from Eclipse ports. Cables must be grounded at both ends.
Protection from RF
Exposure
When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply
with the following:
- Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first
ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched
off.
- At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details
of other radio services active at the site and for their require-
ments/recommendations for protection against potentially harm-
ful exposure to RF radiation.
- When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-
antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful levels
of RF radiation, wear a protective suit.
- Do not look into the waveguide port of an RFU or into an unter-
minated waveguide when the radio is active.
- See RF Exposure on page 11.
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 Eclipse system must be maintained. Refer
to instructions in the manual for equipment grounding.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in ground
conductors.
Mains Power Supply
Routing
Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS 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.
