Users Manual Part 1

Hazardous Materials and Equipment

Compliance with all local and any other regulations concerning the handling and use of hazardous

materials and equipment is the sole responsibility of the customer and associated agents.

Seismic Active Areas

The MTS operating in seismic active areas may require additional bracing of the equipment cabinet.

Environmental Considerations

When planning the MTS site, carefully consider the environment in which the MTS operates.

Temperature Considerations

Regulated the temperature in which the MTS operates to ensure trouble-free operation. Excessive

temperatures result in generated heat that may reduce the life-span of the electronic equipment, and

cause permanent damage.

It is recommended that the ambient temperature (at the air inlet) does not exceed 35 °C in normal

operating conditions.

WARNING:

Ensure that no other objects cover the top of the MTS and leave at least 20 cm of clearance

above the cabinet.

Ensure that no other objects cover the top of the MTS and leave at least 20 cm of clearance

above the rack.

For exceptional conditions, the ambient temperature must not exceed the following thresholds:

• MTS LiTE 400 MHz (without fans): 55 °C

• MTS 2 260 MHz and 400 MHz (without fans): 55 °C

• MTS 4 800 MHz: 55 °C

•

MTS LiTE 400 MHz (with fans): 60 °C

• MTS 2 400 MHz (with fans): 60 °C

• MTS 4 260 MHz and 400 MHz: 60 °C

• MTS LiTE 800 MHz (always with fans): 60 °C

• MTS 2 800 MHz (always with fans): 60 °C

• MTS 2 900 MHz (always with fans): 60 °C

NOTICE: The low-power MTS LiTE and MTS 2 cabinet use passive convection cooling. In high

ambient temperatures or at high altitude, you can add fan modules.

Humidity Considerations

For humidity, MTS complies with ETSI norm EN300 019 13 Class 3.2.

At 30 °C, the relative humidity within the site should be between 5% and 95% non-condensing.

Operation in Corrosive Environment

Do not expose the equipment to corrosive environments. To protect the equipment from salt mist

contamination in a coastal environment, provide proper air filtration for the site.
