Working Safely with MAINS Power

Read and observe all cautions listed in “Safely Working with a CAP H” on page 18.
Electrical hazard. Danger of death or fatal injury from electrical current. Obey all general and regional installation and safety regulations relating to work on high voltage installations, as well as regulations covering correct use of tools and personal protective equipment.
Ground (earth) the unit before connecting the power supply. Grounding bolts are provided on the CAP H connector panel to connect the ground-bonding cable. See “Ground the CAP H” on page 37.
If the CAP H MAINS connector is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains power circuit must be provided within easy reach.
A connection of the mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be near the CAP H. Before connecting or disconnecting the CAP H MAINS connector, ensure that the mains power supply is disconnected.
Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker is acting as a disconnect device (as required by lIEC/EN62368-1 annex L) and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains power and the CAP H.
Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components.
To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series).
For destabilized electric networks, which frequently generate spikes, the use of a voltage limiting device is advised.
Unused connectors must be closed with their protective covers to ensure water tightness.
For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required. Each wire must observe the applicable national regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the CAP H.
CAP H APs require a minimum 120 Volt / 15 Amp or 240 Volt / 13 Amp, single- phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service. MAINS power must be interruptible with an external delay-actions mains breaker.
CommScope recommends external AC breakers capable of at least 15 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or at least 13 Amps for 240-Volt service.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on. Turn off mains power before connecting the power cord at the CAP H, then engage mains again.

Do the following to connect the MAINS power to the CAP H.

1. Follow the steps in “Ground the CAP H” on page 37.

2. Locate the MAINS power cable that was delivered with the CAP H (shown in Figure 11 on page 47).

3. Locate or install a suitable power junction box or receptacle near the CAP H, and then route the power cable from the power source to the CAP H./h
   Do not connect the cable to the CAP H MAINS connector at this time. The power source must be interruptible.

4. Secure the MAINS cable per local regulations and electrical codes. Allow enough slack in the cable at the CAP H to plug or unplug the cable into the CAP H MAINS connector.

5. Wire the power cable to the junction box or receptacle. Refer to the color code and pin numbers shown in Figure 11 on page 47.

6. With the cable’s MAINS plug disconnected from the CAP H, turn the circuit breaker on, unscrew the plug’s protective cover, and carefully test the plug with a voltmeter to ensure that the voltage and polarity are correct.

7. Once the testing has been completed, turn off the circuit breaker.

8. Unscrew the protective cover from the MAINS connector of the CAP H (see Figure 11 on page 47).

9. Insert the plug into the MAINS connector and tighten the clamping ring until it is hand-tight. Do not over-tighten the clamping ring.

10. Turn on the circuit breaker.

The CAP H is powered on as soon as power is connected to it.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

RF Safety Cautions

Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.
When opening the CAP H, do not damage the warranty labels on the internal devices. The warranty is void if the seals are broken.
Make sure the repeater settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.
Due to power dissipation, the CAP H may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation. Do not operate this equipment on or close to flammable materials. Use caution when servicing the CAP H.
Although the CAP H is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to ground (earth) the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the unit for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning, it is strongly recommended to install additional lightning protection.
Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear A an ESD wrist strap when working with ERA hardware components. Not all ERA hardware requires grounding. For those hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the component. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the hardware.

Compliance

1. Notice: For installations, which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna selection and installation must be completed in a way to ensure compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending on the RF frequency, rated output power, antenna gain, and the loss between the repeater and antenna, the minimum distance D to be maintained between the antenna location and human beings is calculated according to this formula:

where
• P(mW) is the radiated power at the antenna, i-e. the max. rated repeater output power in addition to the antenna gain minus the loss between the repeater and the antenna.
• PD (mW/cm’) is the allowed Power Density limit acc. to 47 CFR 1.1310 (B) for general population /uncontrolled exposures which is – f(MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz – 1 for frequencies from 1500MHz to 100,000MHz RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co- location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3).
