OPERATING ENVIRONMENT 

 

The SS-15 BRI (ISDN 2 GSM) was designed to work inside buildings, so it 
must be installed only in closed rooms or enclosures, where the 
environmental conditions should be inside the limits specified in the Technical 
Specifications table in paragraph 6. 
Do NOT allow exposure to rain, dripping water, condensed humidity, mist, etc. 
and avoid dust and prolonged exposure to sun radiation.  

In order to ensure an adequate working temperature, the ISDN 2 GSM interface 
must not be used close to heat sources or in direct sunlight.  
Leave free space around, below and above the SS-15 BRI interface. This is 
needed both for connecting phone / data / antenna cables, and also for 
ventilation (natural air cooling to dissipate the heat generated during operation). 

When the allowed operating temperature is exceeded this may not have an 
immediate, visible effect on the SS-15 BRI unit, but it can result in unreliable 
operation, accelerated ageing and diminishing of lifetime

 

SS-15 BRI (ISDN 2 GSM) must NOT be used in flammable or explosive 
environment, or in locations where toxic, aggressive, corrosive or flammable 
gases may accumulate. 
When cleaning the plastic case of the unit, take care not to use aggressive 
liquids or solvents.  

The SS-15 BRI should be handled with care, to avoid mechanical shocks and 
blows.  
It must not be used in places with a high level of vibrations such as 
manufacturing floors, heavy-duty trailers or railway cars. 

The SS-15 BRI (ISDN 2 GSM) should not be used in an environment with a high 
level of EMI (electromagnetic interference), near copiers, PC monitors, TV sets 
or other audio-video appliances or high power equipment such as electric 
motors or heaters. 

When selecting the location for installing the SS-15 BRI (ISDN 2 GSM) and its 
external antennas refer to the recommendations described in paragraph 4.10. 

The SS-15 BRI (ISDN 2 GSM) does not include materials or components that 
are harmful to the environment.  
When the life cycle of this equipment is finished and it cannot be repaired or 
re-used anymore, dispose of it in accordance with applicable laws and legal 
regulations.
