3FE 51892 AAAA TCZZA Edition 01 ONT Product Information Manual
Power supplies
The use of any non-Alcatel-Lucent approved power supplies or power adaptors is not
supported or endorsed by Alcatel-Lucent. Such use will void any warranty or support
contract with Alcatel-Lucent. Such use greatly increases the danger of damage to
equipment or property.
Cabling
The following are the guidelines regarding cables used for the ONT equipment:
• Use only cables approved by the relevant national electrical code.
• Use cables suitable for outdoor use for outdoor installation of ONTs.
• The ONTs have been evaluated for use with external POTS wiring without
primary protection that may not exceed 140 ft (43 m) in reach. However, the
power cable must not exceed 100 ft (31 m).
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.
Laser safety guidelines
Only qualified service personnel who are extremely familiar with laser radiation
hazards should install or remove the fiber optic cables and units in this system.
Note — The ONTs comply with the U.S. National Electrical Code.
However, local electrical authorities have jurisdiction when there are
differences between the local and U.S. standards.
Caution — This equipment is ESD sensitive. Proper ESD protections
should be used when entering the TELCO Access portion of the ONT.
