3.3 Workplace characteristics
3.3.1 Room characteristics
In order to work freely on the equipment and to be able to perform the
relative installation or maintenance operations, it is necessary to keep a
minimum distance from the walls on all sides of the machine.
The room must be equipped with an appropriate system of clean and dust-
filtered air ventilation with a flow rate suitable for the characteristics of
the equipment operating in the room itself.
Outgoing exhausted air must be conveyed directly outside. If the size or the
length of the duct is such that a significant loss in the air flow can be
anticipated, it is necessary to add an extraction device. Anti-intrusion
devices must be provided at the conveyor outlet (for insects or other animals)
and precautions must be taken to prevent the entrance of liquids or other
materials.
The equipment can operate properly if the temperature ranges from -5°C to
+45°C, with 95% RH non-condensing at +40°C.
3.3.2 Electrical system characteristics
The electrical system must comply with all applicable laws. The power supply
network must allow the supply of the appropriate power according to the laws
in force in the Country of installation on the quality of the electrical
energy supply service.
It is highly recommended to use a transformer/network separator and a
reduction network for discharging high voltage.
Provide a protected under load disconnector (circuit breaker or fuses) with
appropriate disconnection power and capacity according to the absorption
characteristics of the
Safety
equipment model.
Use cables of an appropriate size with respect to the rated absorbed current.
Earth connection must be performed according to the applicable laws. Special
care must be applied to the earth connection of the antenna system since it is
exposed to electrical atmospheric events. Never forget that despite the earth
connection of the equipment frame and the whole antenna system, it is always
dangerous to operate on the equipment in the event of bad weather with
atmospheric discharge. In fact, in the event of high energy discharge
(lighting), the equipment frame can instantly reach very dangerous voltage
levels, due to the earth connection inductance. For this reason, the equipment
should be installed in rooms accessible to maintenance personnel only and for
the time necessary for repairs and checks only.

5 Quick instructions for commissioning
5.1 Installation
1
If you have a rack, insert and attach the equipment into it (use the fixing
holes on the side fins).
If you don’t have a rack, please make sure that: · the equipment is located
away from the room walls so that the installation and
maintenance operations can be conveniently carried out; · the ventilation
grids are not clogged; · the equipment is far from heat sources or flammable
products; · the equipment is isolated from contact with liquids.
Elenos recommends the use of dehumidifiers at the transmitter site to reduce
moisture buildup in humid climates when the transmitter is turned off for
extended periods.
2
Make sure the equipment is properly earthed. This must be carried out at the
eyelet located behind the flange of the output coaxial connector, indicated by
the appropriate symbol.
3
Check that the mains voltage is appropriate, hence apply the phase conductors
and neutral conductors to the power supply terminal board.
We report here the values of most common connections, other configurations are
independently managed by other countries. Upon request, Elenos can supply
material kits for making them.

WARNING: the connection operations of the power supply cable to the equipment
terminal boards must be performed with the cable UPLUGGED from the electrical
mains or WITHOUT VOLTAGE exclusively.
Should the operator require to disconnect the equipment from the mains, go
backwards always disconnecting first the electrical plug and then removing the
terminals from the terminal board.
