Safety
Electrical Guidelines
Observe the following electrical guidelines when working on the SkyWay Series
Bridge/Router.
•Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables under these
conditions:
- During a thunderstorm
- When wearing a wool sweater or other heavy wool clothing
- When power is applied
•Always ensure the power is off before connecting or disconnecting the 3
pin power cord connector.
•Do not touch the SkyWay Series power supply when the power cord is
connected. Because the SkyWay Series Bridge/Router does not have a
power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the
power cord is connected to the Bridge/Router.
•The SkyWay Series Bridge/Router relies on the building’s installation for
short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Make sure that a fuse or circuit
breaker not larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international)
is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
•Before working on the SkyWay Series chassis, unplug the power cord
from the AC outlet or disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker.
•Locate the emergency power-off switch for the AC source connected to
the SkyWay Series Bridge/Router. If an electrical accident occurs, use this
switch to turn off power to the bridge.
•Identify possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floor,
ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds. Do not
work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Ungrounded or improperly grounded antennas constitute a hazard to
personnel and equipment. A lightning strike on or near an improperly
grounded antenna can cause severe injury or death as well as equipment
destruction.
