Multitone Paging Interface Fitting Instruction 3
© Tait Electronics Limited July 2008
This section describes how to fit a Multitone Paging Interface into a
TB7100 base station (DC and no duplexer fitted). It also provides some
general information on safety precautions and Multitone Paging Transmitter
set-up. We recommend that you read the entire chapter before beginning
the fit out.
1.1 Personal Safety
1.1.1 Proximity to RF Transmissions
Do not operate the transmitter when someone is standing within 90cm (3ft)
of the antenna. Do not operate the transmitter unless you have checked that
all RF connectors are secure.
1.1.2 High Temperatures
Take care when handling a TB7100 base station which has been operating
recently. Under extreme operating conditions (+60°C [+140°F] ambient
air temperature) or high duty cycles the external surfaces of the TB7100 base
station can reach temperatures of up to +80°C (+176°F).
1.2 Equipment Safety
1.2.1 ESD Precautions
Important This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to
damage from static charges. You must handle these devices
carefully and according to the procedures described in the
manufacturers’ data books.
We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable
manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.
You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers
of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD
S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.
