TB8100 Installation Guide Installation 5

1.1.3 Proximity to RF Transmissions

Do not operate the transmitter when someone is standing within 90cm (3ft)

of the antenna. Do not operate the transmitter unless you have checked that

all RF connectors are secure.

1.1.4 High Temperatures

Take care when handling a PMU or PA which has been operating recently.

Under extreme operating conditions (+60°C [+140°F] ambient air

temperature) or high duty cycles the external surfaces of the PMU and PA

can reach temperatures of up to +80°C (+176°F).

1.2 Equipment Safety

1.2.1 ESD Precautions

Important This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to

damage from static charges. You must handle these devices

carefully and according to the procedures described in the

manufacturers’ data books.

We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable

manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s

instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.

You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers

of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD

S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994. The Electrostactic Discharge

Association website is http://www.esda.org.
