Method 02-0245
Draft
3.0 Precautions and Preparations
3.1 Precautions
Observe the general safety precautions against personal injury and
equipment damage outlined in the ISM/IM0 at all times.
Picocell transcievers may be handled without static protection. Use of
a grounded wrist strap is mandatory when handling all other exposed
circuit packs or modules.
This method is for indoor installations only.
Picocell 1900 transcievers and antennae are for indoor installations only
and mounting of some or all; transcievers, antennas, hybrids and cabling
in an outside environment may create a potential fire hazard from
lightning. Custom design is required to address outdoor requirements.
Avoid thermal trapped air cavities. In particular, the Picocell cannot be
mounted above the ceiling as this is deemed a plenum installation, and
different, tighter safety specifications are enforced.
3.2 Preparations
Prior to starting the operations presented in this method, arrange all
materials, tools, and test equipment at the work location so as to
minimize fatigue and inconvenience.
1.
Has an Installation Planning Checklist per IM-0242 been completed?
2.
Are System design and site floor plans available with equipment
locations ?
3.
Is building wiring installed and accessible?
4.
Is all the test equipment necessary to complete the job on site?
5.
Is all the PICOCELL transceiver and antenna equipment on site and
inventoried?
6.
Is the customer supplied equipment (back boards, MDF blocks) on site
and installed?
7.
Has the loadbuild sent all required switch load tapes to the MTX site?
CAUTION
