3.1.3  Electrostatic Discharge Safety Measures 
For the avoidance of failures caused by electrostatic discharge, we strongly recommend to: 
1.  Put  on  esd  belt,  shoes  or  wrist  strap  to  prevent  electrostatic  charge  accumulation  (for  the  wrist  strap, 
ensure that it fits snugly to the skin) and to ground the cable before starting to work with the equipment. 
3.2  TAU-72.IP/TAU-36.IP Installation 
1.  If the device was exposed to low temperatures for a long time before installation, leave it for 2 hours at 
ambient temperature prior to operation. If the device was exposed to high humidity for a long time, leave 
it for at least 12 hours in normal conditions prior to turning it on. 
2.  Mount the device. The device is intended to be installed into 19’ rack using the mounting set or mounted 
on the horizontally oriented perforated shelf. 
If the device is being installed into a closed non-ventilated cabinet with volume less than 180l per device, 
device performance will not exceed 0.8 Erlang per subscriber unit. 
3.  Ground the case of the device after installation. This should be done prior to connecting the device to the 
power supply. An insulated multiconductor wire should be used for earthing. The device grounding and the 
earthing wire section should comply with Electric Installation Code. The earth bonding point is located at 
the right bottom corner of the rear panel, see Fig.  5. 
3.2.1  Opening the case 
First power TAU-72.IP/TAU-36.IP off, disconnect all cables.
