Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety

1

. Safety

Any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of Allgon

repeaters must understand and obey the following:

• Allgon AR repeaters are designed to receive and amplify signals from

one or more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more
mobile stations. Also, the repeaters are designed to receive signals from
one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit to the base
stations. The AR repeaters must be used exclusively for these purposes
and nothing else.

• Repeaters supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded

outlets and in conformity with any local regulations.

• The power supply unit in repeaters supplied from the mains contains

dangerous voltage that can cause electric shock. Disconnect the mains
prior to any work in such a repeater. Any local regulations are to be
followed when servicing repeaters.

Authorized service personnel only are allowed to service repeaters while
the mains is connected.

BERYLLIUM OXIDE

HYDROGEN FLUORIDE

• The repeater cover must be secured in opened position, e.g. by tying it

up, at outdoor repeater work. Otherwise, the cover can be closed by the
wind and cause your fingers getting pinched or your head being hit.

• When working on a repeater on high ground, e.g. on a mast or pole, be

careful not to drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause
serious personal injury.

• Any repeater, including this repeater, will generate radio signals and

thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the
health of any person who is extensively exposed to the signals at the
immediate proximity of the repeater and the repeater antennas.

• CHA channel board power transistors, PA amplifier board power

transistors, combiners (CMB), and FON board attenuators (at the P101
port) may contain beryllium oxide (BeO) that is poisonous if present as
dust or smoke which can be inhaled.

Do not file, grind, machine, or treat these parts with acid.

Warning signs are applied on units containing beryllium oxide. These
warning signs are shown in the next section.

• The coaxial cable insulation is made of PTFE, polytetrafluoro ethylene,

that gives off small amounts of hydrogen fluoride when heated.
Hydrogen fluoride is poisonous. Do not use heating tools when
stripping off coaxial cable insulation.

No particular measures are to be taken in case of fire because the
emitted concentration of hydrogen fluoride is very low.

VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 1 - 1

Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety

• A lithium battery is permanently mounted on the CU and FON boards.

Due to the risk of explosion, this battery must not be removed from the
board. In case of battery malfunction, replace the entire board. The
old board can be sent to Allgon for repair.

• The optional FON board contains a class 1 laser transmitter that emits

invisible laser radiation during operation. Avoid direct exposure from
unconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord.

• The heat sink element on a CDMA High Power repeater can be very

hot. Do not touch this surface during operation.

Warning Signs

The following warning signs must be observed and be kept clean and

readable.

Beryllium

oxide

BERYLLIUM OXIDE

(Toxic)

used in equipment

see instruction book

Beryllium oxide

This warning sign is applied on boards and units which contain beryllium
oxide parts.

This warning sign is applied at the bottom, inside the cabinet, below the
power supply unit.

The previous section details parts containing beryllium oxide and how to
avoid dangerous dealing with these parts.

Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety

Static Electric ity

Static electricity means no risk of personal injury but it can severely

damage essential parts of the repeater, if not handled carefully.

Parts on the printed circuit boards as well as other parts in the repeater
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.

Never touch the printed circuit boards or uninsulated conductor
surfaces unless absolutely necessary.

If you must handle the printed circuit boards or uninsulated conductor
surfaces, use ESD protective equipment, or first touch the repeater
chassis with your hand and then do not move your feet on the floor.

Never let your clothes touch printed circuit boards or uninsulated
conductor surfaces.

Always store printed circuit boards in ESD-safe bags.

. Installation

Before installation, read carefully Chapter 1, Safety.

Siting the Repeater

Allgon repeaters are designed for outdoor usage. However, humidity and

temperature changes may have affect on the reliability. A preferable site
for the repeater is thus indoor, in a tempered and ventilated room.

Sunshine

If a repeater is placed outdoor and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is

essential that the air can circulate around the repeater with no obstacle.

The operating temperature must not exceed +55°C. A shelter can be used
to shade the repeater from direct sunshine.

Shelter

Allgon repeaters are designed with a weather proof outdoor case that can

be mounted without any kind of shelter from rain, snow or hail.

If a repeater is to be opened on the site when raining, snowing, or hailing
there must be some kind of permanent or temporary shelter. This is
applicable to gentle rainfall, snowfall or hail. Limitations for very bad
weather is found in the next section.

Allgon can provide a shelter designed for these repeaters. This shelter is
shown in Figure 2-1.

Outdoor Installation and Service Limitations

Sited outdoors, the repeater must not be opened for installation or service

at bad weather, such as:

– Intense rainfall, snowfall or hail.
– Storm or high wind.
– Extremely low or high temperature.
– High humidity of the air.

Dimensions and Weights

The dimensions of the repeater, including the mounting bracket, is shown

in Figure 2-1. The repeater chassis consists of two main parts, a cabinet
in which the circuitry is housed, and a cover, which can be either a low
cover or a high cover (see the figure) depending on the repeater type.
