3.8.2.1 AC Power Cabling
This section describes only the AC power. All grounding shall limit the exterior
connections to a single point. The transmission wire entrance for the Telco service and
board must be installed on a common wall to have true single point grounding.
Caution
Facility AC wiring within junction boxes, receptacles, and switches shall be performed by a
licensed and bonded electrical contractor. Personnel safety and liability hazards can result
from AC wiring performed by installation personnel other than an electrical contractor.
When an open equipment rack is used, hardwiring of power is not always possible.
Mounting a dedicated simplex receptacle or receptacle assembly on the rack may be the
most convenient method of supplying power, especially if multiple pieces of equipment
are mounted on the rack. This is also a convenient way to install personal protection type
3 SPD devices to the equipment.
These receptacle assemblies can be pre-manufactured and mounted to the top face of
an equipment rack. Mounting can also use a fabricated power pole mounted between
racks.
Equipment that contains its own AC power supply is typically fitted with a standard
grounded line cord. Where this equipment is used, the rack shall be equipped with a
dedicated simplex receptacle or receptacle assembly.
Use only the power cables provided by RadioFrame Networks. Use of any other cable is
strictly prohibited and may void the warranty and/or cause electrical fire and damage.
Caution
Under no circumstances shall consumer-grade power outlet strips be used In any
Installation. Extension cords of any type shall not be used for connecting line power to
communications equipment.
AC input power
Main Rack: The AC input power for the GSM/802.11b/g RFS shall be of 120 and shall be
coming off one designated 20 amp breaker.
Remote ACUs: for 120VAC power, use the power cord provided (use of a different cord
may void the warranty and/or cause electrical fire and damage).
