General Safety Guidelines for Personal Safety and Equipment Protection

  • To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

    • This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

    • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

    • If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

  • To reduce risk of electric shock and fire, take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.

  • Two persons are required to lift the heavy parts of the product. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.

  • To reduce the risk of fire or bodily injury, do not operate the unit in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 104F or 40C.

  • The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before installation or servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause bodily injury.

  • To reduce the risk of bodily injury, the chassis should be mounted on a rack that is permanently affixed to the building.

Safety Precaution for Module Installation and Removal


Warning

Statement 1051—Laser Radiation

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.

Safety with Electricity


Warning

Statement 1015—Battery Handling

To reduce risk of fire, explosion, or leakage of flammable liquid or gas:

  • Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Do not dismantle, crush, puncture, use a sharp tool to remove, short the external contacts, or dispose of the battery in fire.

  • Do not use if battery is warped or swollen.

  • Do not store or use battery in a temperature > 70° Celsius.

  • Do not store or use battery in low air pressure environment < 10.1 PSIA.

Warning

Statement 1074—Comply with Local and National Electrical Codes

To reduce risk of electric shock or fire, installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Power Connection Guidelines

Check the power at your site to ensure you are receiving clean power (free of spikes and noise).

Ensure to observe the following safety guidelines while connecting the device power supplies.


Warning

Statement 1024—Ground Conductor

This equipment must be grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Safety Precaution for Energy Hazard

Cisco NCS 1010 can be configured for a DC power source. Do not touch terminals with body parts or conductive objects while they are energized.

Safety Precaution for Laser Radiation

Cisco NCS 1010 is classified as Hazard Level 1M as per IEC 60825-2 and Laser Class 1/1M as per IEC 60825-1, since it may include Class 1 or Class 1M Laser sources.


Warning

Statement 1051—Laser Radiation

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.


Warning

Statement 1055—Class 1/1M Laser

Invisible laser radiation is present. Do not expose to users of telescopic optics. This applies to Class 1/1M laser products.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD may occur when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. When removing and replacing modules, always follow these ESD prevention procedures:

  • Ensure that the device chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.

  • Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.

  • Handle components by only their handles or edges; do not touch the printed circuit boards or connectors.

  • Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Statements

NEBS describes the environment of a typical United States Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) central office. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design standards applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is not a legal or regulatory requirement, but rather an industry requirement.

The following NEBS statements apply to Cisco NCS 1010:


Warning

Statement 7011—Surge Protection Device Requirements for GR-1089 Antenna Ports

Protect equipment antenna ports, that are classified as Type 6 according to GR-1089-CORE, with lightning surge protectors that are rated at a minimum of 600 V peak surge of 1.2/50 uS duration. Statement 7011

Connecting a Cable to the GNSS Antenna Interface

  • GNSS modules have built-in ESD protections on all pins, including the RF-input pin. However, additional surge protection is required if an outdoor antenna is being connected. The Lightning Protector must be able to provide a low clamping voltage (less than 600V).

  • A lightning protection must be mounted at the place where the antenna cable enters the building. The primary lightning protection must be capable of conducting all potentially dangerous electrical energy to PE (Protective Earth).

  • Surge arrestors should support DC-pass and suitable for the GPS frequency range (1.575GHz) with low attenuation.

Warning

Statement 7003—Shielded Cable Requirements for Intrabuilding Lightning Surge

The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.

The following port(s) are considered intrabuilding ports on this equipment:


Warning

Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault

The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring for more than 6 meters (approximately 20 feet). These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2, 4, or 4a ports as described in GR-1089) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to an OSP wiring system.

The following ports are considered intrabuilding ports on the equipment:


Warning

Statement 7012—Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports

Connect this equipment to AC mains that are provided with a surge protective device (SPD) at the service equipment that complies with NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC).


Note

This equipment is suitable for installations using the CBN.

Note

Statement 8015—Installation Location Network Telecommunications Facilities

This equipment is suitable for installation in network telecommunications facilities.


Note

Statement 8016—Installation Location Where the National Electric Code (NEC) Applies

This equipment is suitable for installation in locations where the NEC applies.
