Handling Precautions

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Precautions

Special handling precautions must be applied whenever installing or

removing parts of the equipment. These precautions include:

• Leave components or equipment in their original packaging until

they are required for use.

• Remove plug-in units with previously discharged hands (e.g. by

using grounded wrist-straps that are connected to the ESD

Bounding Point on the product).

• Return items for repair in suitable anti-static packaging.

Condensation

WARNING

TO AVOID CONDENSATION

When equipment is brought suddenly from a cold to a hot

place this may cause condensation, which may damage the

equipment and will accelerate corrosion.

To prevent condensation, the equipment should be kept either

in its original packaging or put in a closed ESD plastic bag

before entering the hot place.

Then wait until the equipment has reached the ambient

temperature before removing the packaging.

The waiting time may vary from situation to situation, but

generally a waiting time of 8 hours should be sufficient.

EMC/ESD Safety Information

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The system was developed in compliance with the ETSI Mesh Ground

requirements.

This means that EMC compliance and personnel safety can be

achieved only if the system is connected to a System-Reference

Potential Plane (SRPP) at many places as described in ETS 300 253.

See the figure below.

All peripheral equipment to be connected to the system must also be

connected to the SRPP by one or more fixed wires.

The Protective Earth/Ground of the peripheral equipment must be

connected to the SRPP.

The EMC/ESD boundary is defined at subrack level. The principle is

based on the “Faraday Cage” theory. If there are covers, then the

covers must be closed.

There is an ESD ground/earth socket on the subrack.

A grounded wrist strap with banana plug must be worn when opening

the subrack covers.

This guide describes equipment that contains static sensitive devices.

Laser Safety Information

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Description

Lightwave/lightguide systems, their associated test sets, and similar

operating systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit

infrared (IR) light at wavelengths between approximately 800

nanometers and 1600 nanometers. The emitted light is above the red

end of the visible spectrum, which is normally not visible to the

human eye. Although radiant energy at near-IR wavelengths is

officially designated invisible, some people can see the shorter

wavelength energy even at power levels that are several orders of

magnitude below any that have been shown to cause injury to the eye.

Conventional lasers can produce an intense beam of monochromatic

light. The term monochromaticity means a single wavelength output

of pure color that may be visible or invisible to the eye. A

conventional laser produces a small-size beam of light, and because

the beam size is small, the power density (also called irradiance) is

very high. Consequently, lasers and laser products are subject to

federal and applicable state regulations as well as international

standards for their safe operation.

A conventional laser beam expands very little over distance, or is said

to be very well collimated. Thus, conventional laser irradiance

remains relatively constant over distance. However, lasers used in

Lightwave systems have a large beam divergence, typically 10 to 20

degrees. Here, irradiance obeys the inverse square law (doubling the

distance reduces the irradiance by a factor of 4) and rapidly decreases

over distance.

Laser and Eye Damage

The optical energy emitted by laser and high-radiance LED’s in the

400-1400 nm range may cause eye damage if absorbed by the retina.

When a beam of light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses

the energy on the retina magnifying the radiance. The radiance of the

energy that reaches the retina is approximately 105 or 100,000 times

that at the cornea and, if sufficiently intense, may cause a retinal burn.

The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in telecommunica-

tions is thermal in origin i.e., damage caused by heating. Therefore, a

specific amount of energy is required for a definite time to heat an

area of retinal tissue. Damage is to the retina occurs only when one

looks at the light sufficiently long that the product of the retinal

irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the damage threshold. Optical

energies above 1400 nm cause corneal and skin burn but do not affect

the retina. The thresholds for injury at wavelengths greater than 1400

nm are significantly higher than for wavelengths in the retinal hazard

region
