About this Document
This document provides general safety and regulatory information only. Please read the Installation and Operation Manual before attempting to install or operate the equipment.

General Safety

Personal Safety
Unpacking and Moving the Equipment (except TB7100 and TB7300)
To prevent personal injury and equipment damage, Tait recommends two people unpack and move the equipment.

A subrack complete with modules can weigh up to 62lb (28kg), or up to 66lb (30kg) complete with packaging. We recommend that you have another person help you unpack and move the equipment. The TBAA03-16 carrying handles will make it easier to move the subrack once it has been unpacked. If necessary, remove the modules from the subrack before moving it (refer to the Installation and Operation Manual). In all cases follow safe lifting practices.

Lethal Voltages
Warning The PMU and TB7300 optional AC power supply unit contain voltages that may be lethal. Refer to the ratings label on the rear of the module.

The equipment must be installed so that the rear of the PMU or TB7300 is located in a service access area which is accessible only by qualified personnel. The plug of the TB7300 AC power supply cord is intended as the disconnect device. Therefore, the socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be readily accessible.

Disconnect the mains IEC connector and wait for five minutes for the internal voltages to self-discharge before dismantling. The AC power on/off switch does not isolate the PMU from the mains.

It breaks only the phase circuit, not the neutral. Ensure that all base station equipment power sources (AC and DC) are disconnected before opening the base station.

AC mains powered base station equipment should be serviced only by qualified technicians. There are no user-replaceable parts inside. If the PMU or TB7100 AC power supply unit is damaged and does not function properly, stop the module safely and contact your regional Tait office immediately.

All servicing of AC mains powered base station equipment should be carried out only when the unit is powered through a mains isolating transformer of sufficient rating.

AC Power Connection
The equipment must be connected to a grounded mains socket-outlet.

Explosive Environments
Warning Do not operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. Operating the equipment in these environments is a definite safety hazard.

Proximity to RF Transmissions
To comply with the RF Field Limits for Devices Used by the General Public for (Uncontrolled Environment)1, a safe separation distance of at least 6.5 metres (22 feet) from the antenna system should be maintained.
This figure is calculated for a typical installation, employing one 100W base station transmitter. Other configurations, including installations at multi- transmitter sites, must be installed so that they comply with the relevant RF exposure standards.

High Temperatures
Take care when handling a PMU, PA, TB7100 or TB7300 which has been operating recently. Under extreme operating conditions (+140°F [+60°C] ambient air temperature) or high duty cycles, the external surfaces of the modules can reach temperatures of up to +176°F (+80°C).

LED Safety (EN60825-1)
This equipment contains only Class 1 LED products, which are eye-safe under all operating conditions.

PMU
The only controls on the PMU are the on/off switches on the rear panel for the AC and DC modules, and the indicator LEDs visible through a slot in the front panel.

Warning These switches do not totally isolate the internal circuitry of the PMU from the AC or DC power supplies. You must disconnect the AC and DC supplies from the PMU before dismantling or carrying out any maintenance. Refer to the service manual for the correct servicing procedures.

AC Module On/Off Switch
This switch turns the AC input to the PMU on and off. Note that this switch breaks only the phase circuit, not the neutral.

Reference Standards
Health Canada’s Safety Code 6: Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3kHz to 300GHz.USA Federal Communications Commission OET bulletin 65 (47CFR 1.1310).
IEEE C95.1 2019: Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300GHz.

DC Module On/Off Switch
This switch turns the DC output from the PMU on and off. It is recessed to prevent the DC module being accidentally switched off, thus disabling the battery back-up supply.
Note that this switch does not disconnect power from the DC converter itself. It disables the converter by switching off its control circuitry. Even when the DC converter is off, the DC input is still connected to its power circuitry.

Replacing Modules
The 100W PA and PMU weigh between 9.3lb (4.2kg) and 15.4lb (7kg) each. Take care when handling these modules to avoid personal injury.
