Chapter 2

Where appropriate, ensure this product has an adequate level of lightning protection. Alternatively, during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the supply outlet and disconnect the output equipment. This prevents damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.

2.2Preliminary Checks

2.2.1Mechanical Inspection

When taking delivery of a RX8000 Series Receiver check the equipment items delivered against the enclosed delivery note. Inspect the equipment for damage in transit. If in doubt, contact Ericsson Customer Services (see Preliminary Pages).

Note: Do not remove the covers of this equipment as doing so may invalidate any warranties, cause a safety hazard and/or affect the EMC performance. It may also invalidate any safety tests. Check with Ericsson Customer Services beforehand.

2.2.2Moving the Equipment Safely

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, bracket or table recommended by Ericsson.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. Do not move or carry the equipment whilst it is still connected to the supply or other leads, is live, or is in operation.

2.3Installing the Equipment

2.3.1Fixing

The equipment is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing brackets suitable for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be secured using the fixing brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to reduce the weight on the brackets. Ensure it is firmly and safely located and it has an adequate flow of free-air.

Slide the receiver onto the chassis supports and affix to the rack by means of an M6 x 18 mm panhead screw in each corner.

A freestanding unit should be installed on a secure horizontal surface where it is unlikely to be knocked or its connectors and leads disturbed.
