TB8100 Installation Guide Installation 5© Tait Electronics Limited February 20071.1.3 Proximity to RF TransmissionsDo not operate the transmitter when someone is standing within 90cm (3ft)of the antenna. Do not operate the transmitter unless you have checked thatall RF connectors are secure.1.1.4 High TemperaturesTake care when handling a PMU or PA which has been operating recently.Under extreme operating conditions (+60°C [+140°F] ambient airtemperature) or high duty cycles the external surfaces of the PMU and PAcan reach temperatures of up to +80°C (+176°F).1.2 Equipment Safety1.2.1 ESD PrecautionsImportant This equipment contains devices which are susceptible todamage from static charges. You must handle these devicescarefully and according to the procedures described in themanufacturers’ data books.We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputablemanufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’sinstructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangersof electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESDS20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.
