Installation precautions
It is advisable to be aware of the following precautions:
WARNING!
This unit is powered by high voltage over the
SHDSL lines. Electrical shock can occur by touching the
leads with the power on. Span power supply has current
limiters to prevent personal injury due to shock. Verify that
the SHDSL lines are deenergized before installing the
equipment. Always turn the power off by opening the relays
of the Aggregator before installing this equipment.
WARNING!
Serious injury can occur if the antennas come in
contact with electric power lines. Carefully follow the
instructions in this manual. During and after installation, the
antennas must be a minimum of 24 inches from any power
lines. Use caution when installing this outdoor equipment.
WARNING!
The National Electrical Code (NEC) and
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) require the use of an agency
listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector for all power
and data communications cables entering a building. This is
to protect the building and occupants from damage caused by
transient voltage and current surges.
WARNING!
A UL 497 (CSA C22.2 No. 226-92) approved
primary protection device must be used at the building
entrance. Also check with local wiring codes.
