3.1 Before Installation
3.1.1 Safety
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
• Always comply with national and local electrical codes.
• Keep the installation area clear and dust free during and after installation.
• Keep tools and all components away from walk areas.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery (including rings and chains), or other items that might get
caught on the IDU, the ODU or the interconnecting cables.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during lightning storms.
Follow these guidelines when working with electrical equipment:
• Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a SatLink VSAT IDU.
• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not act in any way that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Never install equipment that appears damaged.
• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, unearthed power
extension cables and missing protective earths.
Should an electrical accident occur:
• Be cautious – do not become a victim yourself.
• Turn off electrical power to the system.
• If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and
then call for help.
• Determine if the victim needs artificial respiration or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
