Safety
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Sea Tel Inc (dba Cobham SATCOM) assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
Service: Access to the interior of the Out Door Unit (ODU), is allowed
for inspection of components by a technician/engineer. Maintenance of the ODU
should only be performed by technicians/engineers who are authorized by Cobham
SATCOM. Only authorized Partners who have received factory training on this
equipment will be able to file a claim for warranty reimbursement. Failure to
comply with standard practices, which include but are not limited to
modification of the terminal away from factory documented assemblies may also
void the warranty period.
Do not service or adjust alone: Do not attempt internal service or
adjustments unless another person, capable of rendering first aid
resuscitation, is present.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE): Hard hat, safety glasses, and steel
toe work boots are required. To avoid injuries, it is important to be aware of
the risks present when handling and testing an antenna from inside the dome.
There is a risk of the antenna injuring the operator, as the antenna moves, so
the operator must be aware of the position of the antenna at all times while
inside the radome.
Grounding, cables, and connections: To minimize shock hazards and to
protect against lightning, the equipment chassis and cabinet must be connected
to an electrical ground. The ODU equipment must be grounded to a known good
earth ground. For further grounding, information refers to the Installation
chapter of this manual.
Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The
cables between the ODU and the Baseband Equipment Rack must comply with the
specified data concerning cable losses etc.
Power supply: AC Power to the ADE is provided by a separate, breaker,
power source.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere: Do not operate the equipment
in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. The operation of any electrical
equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep away from live circuits: Operating personnel must not remove
equipment covers. Component replacement and internal adjustment must be made
by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with the power
cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even
with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching them.
SAFETY: INTERNAL BATTERY
The main PCB inside the TICU contains a lithium battery. These batteries
should last for many years but if replacement is required, use caution. These
batteries are only to be replaced by a technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM
to perform such service.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
