Earth Bonding
An equipment earthing/grounding threaded stud is provided on the base of the unit. The DSPbR
must be adequately bonded to the
installation site’s earth/grounding connection point using the stud
provided.
Temperature
Owing to probable power dissipation within the equipment, the exposed rear portion of the equipment
may reach relatively elevated temperatures above ambient.
High Voltage and Surge Protection
The DSPbR has been tested compliant to AS/NZS IEC 60950. When operated from an AC power
source this unit complies with the Australian AS/NZS 60950 equipment safety standard.
There is limited surge protection built into the PSU of the DSPbR, however additional site-specific
lighting protection, voltage surge protection and earth bonding may be required to reduce the risk of damage.
Regarding external antennas connections to the DSPbR, RFI recommend the use of adequate coaxial lighting protection and
earth bonding through grounding kits on the RF feeder cables prior to termination into the respective RF termination connectors
on the DSPbR repeater.
AC or DC mains should also be afforded surge protection, along with the IP Ethernet connection (if connected) into the
repeater.
Electrostatic Discharge
Although the modules and exposure of the interconnect sockets / pins have been designed to
significantly reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD), precautions must be observed during
installation and maintenance to protect all the modules within the equipment.
