110.1Physical Environment of Equipment

The following conditions should be met at the site chosen for mounting the central equipment (Key Service unit>.

1.The KSU should normally be wall-mounted to protect against accident or flooding. Where possible use of a wooden backboard is recommended for this purpose.

2.The KSU should not be located directly beneath pipes due to the possibility of leaks or condensation causing damage.

3.The area in which the KSU is located must be free of: corrosive or inflamable gases, excessive chemical or in- dustrial dusts, and other materials which could cause hazard to personnel or to the proper functioning of the equipment.

4.Heat and humidity must be within the limits found in

Section 140 “Specifications” in this manual.

5.Although its virtually noiseless operation allows a wide choice of installation sites, care should be taken that the KSU not present a hazard to office traffic. For purposed of economy a central location (to minimize cabling) is often preferable.

The KSU must be well-grounded. If a good conduit ground is not present at the dedicated AC outlet, the following steps should be taken:

1.Provide a suitable waterpipe ground in accordance with the local operating (telephone) company procedures.

2.If no waterpipe is available, a ground rod should be installed in accordance with local operating company procedures.

3.In the case where a ground other than conduit ground is used a grounding terminal is provided on the ES-6 -1 as shown below in Figure 120- 1.
