Safety & Certification Notice
“Only qualified personnel should handle the DAS equipment. Any person involved in
installation or service of the DAS should understand and follow these safety guidelines.”
- Obey all general and regional installation and safety regulations relating to work on high voltage
installations, as well as regulations covering correct use of tools and personal protective equipment.
- The power supply unit in repeaters contains dangerous voltage level, which can cause electric shock.
Switch the mains off prior to any work in such a repeater. Any local regulations are to be followed when
servicing repeaters.
- When working with units outdoors, make sure to securely fasten the door or cover in an open position
to prevent the door from slamming shut in windy conditions.
- Use this unit only for the purpose specified by the manufacturer. Do not carry out any modifications or
fit any spare parts which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer. This could cause fires,
electric shock or other injuries.
- Any DAS system or Fiber BDA will generate radio (RF) signals and continuously emit RF energy. Avoid
prolonged exposure to the antennas. SOLiD recommends maintaining a 500 cm minimum clearance
from the antenna while the system is operating.
- Antennas must be installed in accordance with FCC 27.50 and SRSP 517. With 17dBi gain antennas the
height of the antenna above average terrain (HAAT) must not exceed 557.40m. For different gain
antennas refer to the relevant rules and the local licensing authorities.
- Do not operate this unit on or close to flammable materials, as the unit may reach high temperatures
due to power dissipation.
- Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives on
the DAS equipment. Alcohol may be used to clean fiber optic cabling ends and connectors.
- To prevent electrical shock, switch the main power supply off prior to working with the DAS System or
Fiber BDA. Never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
- Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber or directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit.
Use an optical spectrum analyzer to verify active fibers. Place a protective cap over any radiating
transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid the potential of radiation exposure.
- Allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing without severe bends.
