ECOTEL 3G 16.1. Revised: 1 March 2011.
2.5 EMC PROTECTION
2.6 SYSTEM SECURITY
This section describes all points crucial to the ECOTEL’s system security.
The ECOTEL’s location must support normal operation according to EN ETS 300 386. Be sure to select the location
with the following conditions in mind:
2.6.1 SERVICING THE ECOTEL
Regular servicing ensures that your ECOTEL runs trouble-free. Servicing also includes looking after the room in
which the system is set up. Ensure that the air-conditioning and its filter system are regularly checked and that the
premises are cleaned on a regular basis.
Use shielded cables.
Do not remove any housing components. They provide EMC protection.
Location: Make sure you install the system in a clean, dry, dust-free location. If pos-
sible, use an air-conditioned site. The site must be free of strong electrical or mag-
netic fields, which cause disrupted signals and, in extreme cases, system failure.
Temperature: The site must maintain a temperature between 0 and 35°C. Be sure to
guard against temperature fluctuations. Resulting condensation can cause short cir-
cuiting. The humidity level may not exceed 80%.
To avoid overheating the system, make sure the site provides adequate ventilation.
Power: The site must contain a central emergency switch for the entire power source.
The site’s fuses must be calculated to provide adequate system security. The electri-
cal facilities must comply with applicable regulations.
The operating voltage and frequency may not exceed or fall below what is stated on
the label.
Antenna: ECOTEL contains no provision or protective device against power surges or
lightning strikes.
The installation of the antenna must fulfill all necessary safety requirements. Employ
the services of a professional antenna installer.
