WARNING
1106
WARNING: This device does not incorporate a primary
protector. If off premises coax or telephone
cable lengths exceed 140 feet (42.7 meters)
a listed primary protector is required per
the National Electric Code.
•
When routing optic fibers, be careful to avoid bending
fibers beyond the manufacturer recommended 1”
(2.54 cm) bend radius. Exceeding the bend radius can
cause excess attenuation and possibly break the fiber.
•
Verify all optical power levels before connections are
made. If excessive loss is noted, the use of an optical
time domain reflectometer (OTDR) may be required.
•
Clean the fiber ends before making any connections.

NOTICE
NOTICE: A Class I laser product is used in this equip-
ment. Use an optical power meter to identify
any active fiber. Never assume laser power
is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected
at the other end.
A protective cap or hood must be placed
over any radiating bulkhead receptacle or
optical fiber connector.
•
The electronics can be sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. Use of a static wrist strap is required when
handling the FiberPoint Electronics Module.
•
The FiberPoint Electronics Module relies on a quality
earth ground in order to process signals properly.
Make sure you follow all applicable local codes for
grounding.
•
For subscribers using data services, remember that all
data wiring done internally to the home is true CAT5 in
design.
•
Fiber Optic Drop Cables (or simply drop cables)
entering the FiberPoint Electronics Module from
underground must be protected. We recommend the
use of a riser tube for protecting the drop cable. Refer
to Form 360029-0001 for specifications on riser pipe.
•
The UPS must be installed indoors in a protected
environment that has adequate airflow.
