Cable measuring card:
A cable measuring card must NEVER be used at the ODU end
connected to power from the PIDU Plus. It must only be used at the bottom of the mast with
a multimeter. This is because the PIDU Plus voltage exceeds the limit allowed in some
countries for safe handling in wet conditions and therefore may create a safety hazard.
Alternative DC supplies:
When using alternative DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in
terminals as described in Section 2.8 “Redundancy and Alternative Powering
Configurations”), such as battery-backed DC power source, the supply MUST comply with the
following requirements:
•
The voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the PIDU Plus
•
The power source is rated as SELV
•
The power source is rated to supply at least 1A continuously
•
The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL6090, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA)
Primary disconnect device:
The main power supply is the primary disconnect device.
External cables:
Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for
connections that will be exposed to the weather.
Non-Motorola power supply:
Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used
than the one supplied by Motorola as part of the system.
