Environmental requirements The planned location must meet the following requirements:
– Check that the area is a well ventilated area, having a temperature range of 0°C to +40°C and a
humidity range of 10% to 95% non-condensing.
– Check there are no flammable materials in the area.
– Check there is no possibility of flooding.
– Check that no other machinery or equipment needs to be moved first.
– Check that it is not an excessively dusty atmosphere.
– Check that the area is unlikely to suffer rapid changes in temperature and humidity.
– Check for the proximity of strong magnetic fields, sources of radio frequency and other electrical
interference.
– Check there are no corrosive chemicals or gasses.
– Check there is no excessive vibration or potential of excessive vibration, especially of the cabinet
mounting surface.
– Check that, for the USA only, where telephones are installed in another building, that the
appropriate IROB protectors are fitted (see page 65).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or
laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
4. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Check the following:
– IP Office Base Unit and Expansion Modules :
IP Office modules require a separate switched mains supply. Power on the Expansion Modules
first. If the main IP Office Module does not detect an item at power on, it will never use it. If
power is switched on from a central point for all modules, then, as the main unit is the slowest to
start, this will be taken care of automatically.
– Common Lump-in-Line Power Supply units are supplied with each IP Office/Expansion Module.
However, the power leads are country specific and must be ordered separately (see page 33).
CAUTION: The 2A 24V Lump-in-Line PSUs supplied with each IP Office module must be
connected to a 50/60Hz, 100-240V power source only.
– UPS Equipment :
The use of UPS's to support the IP Office system during mains power failure is highly
recommended. Such equipment also provides mains conditioning. Contact Avaya for details of
preferred and tested suppliers and models.
