ONT Product Information Guide
Protective earth
Earthing and bonding of the ONTs must comply with the requirements of NEC 
article 250 or local electrical codes.
ESD safety guidelines
The ONT equipment is sensitive to ESD. Operations personnel must observe the 
following ESD instructions when they handle the ONT equipment. 
During installation and maintenance, service personnel must wear wrist straps to 
prevent damage caused by ESD.
Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you prepare the site before you install the ONT 
equipment. In addition, you must control relative humidity, use static dissipating 
material for furniture or flooring, and restrict the use of air conditioning.
Environmental requirements
See the ONT technical specification documentation for temperature ranges for 
ONTs.
During operation in the supported temperature range, condensation inside the ONT 
caused by humidity is not an issue. To avoid condensation caused by rapid changes 
in temperature and humidity, Alcatel-Lucent recommends:
• The door of the ONT not be opened until temperature inside and outside the 
enclosure has stabilized.
• If the door of the ONT must be opened after a rapid change in temperature or 
humidity, use a dry cloth to wipe down the metal interior to prevent the risk of 
condensation.
• When high humidity is present, installation of a cover or tent over the ONT helps 
prevent condensation when the door is opened.
Caution —  This equipment is ESD sensitive. Proper ESD protections 
should be used when entering the TELCO Access portion of the ONT.
