HAPTER REPARATION ........For the equipment to perform reliably and safely, certain requirements regarding the site preparation must be met according to the equipment specifications.
UPS. In general, the CommandSTAR Lite system does not require more than 720 Watts. Refer to the configuration report produced by the CSDM Lite to obtain the site-specific power requirements.
The end that should be grounded will be specified in the site specific wiring details in the appendix. See Sections 6, 7 and 8 of the Motorola R56—Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites for internal and external grounding specifications, and AC power distribution.
The conducting path is usually a ground path. When packaging, installing or when handling electronic modules, the personnel involved must be connected to ground with an ESD strap. See Section 11.9 of the Motorola R56—Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites for more detailed information. (EMI)
