Environmental Requirements

1

The control unit requires a regulated environment that is temperature-controlled, clean, and not exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, proper power and grounding are essential for correct and safe system operation, and to protect the system against lightning, power surges, and other problems.

If the control unit and other system components were installed by qualified Lucent Technologies technicians, these requirements were met during installation.

After installation, you can help with the correct operation of the system by making sure the following rules are observed:

The electrical outlet for the control unit must not be controlled by a switch. Plugging the control unit into an outlet that can be turned on and off by a switch invites accidental disconnection of the system.

The AC outlet must be properly grounded by using an AC receptacle for a 3-prong plug.

Do not install the control unit outdoors.

Do not place the control unit near extreme heat (furnaces, heaters, attics, or direct sunlight).

Do not expose the control unit to devices that generate electrical interference (such as arc welders, or the motors of air conditioners and ventilators, compressors, and so on).

Each auxiliary power unit requires one outlet.

Do not expose the control unit to moisture, corrosive gases, dust, chemicals, spray paint, or similar material.

Do not place anything that could block ventilation on top of or around the carriers.

Do not install the control unit under any device that may drip fluid, such as an air conditioner.

For maintenance purposes, the control unit should be mounted in an accessible location. There should be sufficient room and lighting available to remove the cover(s) and replace modules without moving furniture, boxes, or other objects.
