9500 MXC User Manual
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007 Vol. I-1-3
Operator Health and Safety
The following table describes the precautions that relate to installing or working
on the 9500 MXC radio.
Topic Information
Equipment Protrusions The equipment has been designed to be free of unnecessary protrusions or sharp
surfaces that may catch or otherwise cause injury during handling. However, always
take care when working on or around the equipment.
Laser and Fiber Optic
Cable Hazards
9500 MXC fiber optic transmitters are IEC60825-1 / 21CFR1040-1 Class I compliant
and present no danger to personnel in normal use. However:
Do not look into active unterminated optical ports or fibers. If visual inspection is
required ensure the equipment is turned off or, if a fiber cable, disconnect the far end.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using an optical test set. Incorrect
calibration or control settings could result in hazardous levels of radiation.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Place all optical fiber cuttings in a suitable container for safe disposal. Bare fibers and
fiber scraps can easily penetrate the skin and eyes.
Lifting Equipment Be careful when hoisting or lifting the ODU or its antenna during installation or
maintenance. The ODU is nominally 10 kg (22 lb). However, antennas with their
mounting hardware can weigh in excess of 100 kg (220 lb) and require specialized
lifting equipment and an operator trained and certified in its use.
Protection from RF
Exposure: 9500 MXC
The 9500 MXC radio does not generate RF fields intense enough to cause RF burns.
However, when installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the
Protection from RF Exposure guidelines under General Hazards.
Safety Warnings When a practice or procedure poses implied or potential harm to the user or to the
radio equipment, a warning is included in this manual.
