3 Safety and Regulations
3.1 Safety
3.1.1 Safety Rules
• Installation and service is to be performed by service persons only.
• IPBL must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
• IPBL must be permanently connected to protective earth when powered by 48 VDC.
• IPBL must be mounted in a Restricted Area Location (RAL) in Sweden, Finland and
Norway.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the mains power socket matches the voltage
and frequency inscribed on the equipment’s electrical rating label.
• Never install telephone wiring during a thunderstorm.
Note: Avoid touching or punching down the IPBS/RFP signal and power pairs as there is
48Vdc or 24Vdc present on these wires at all times.
• Always install the base station conforming to relevant national installation rules.
• Disconnect all power sources before servicing the equipment.
• Use only approved spare parts and accessories. The operation of non-approved parts
cannot be guaranteed and may cause damage or danger.
• Only approved power supplies according to valid editions of EN/IEC/CSA/UL/AU/NZS
60950 are to be used when the IPBS/RFPs are powered by local power supplies.
3.1.2 Safety Symbols
For protection and to avoid damage to the IP-DECT system you will find stickers where
applicable. The stickers have the following symbols and meaning:
Figure 12. Caution
Read and follow the safety rules and warning messages in this manual.
If the instructions are not followed, there is risk of damage to the equipment.
Caution ESD
Read and follow the handling instructions described in chapter 3.2.1 ESD
Handling on page 10.
Boards which contain Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) are indicated by this
sign.
If the instructions are not followed, there is risk of damage to the equipment.
For handling these boards see 3.2 Protection Against Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) on page 10.
Warning
Read and follow the safety rules and warning messages in this manual.
Hazardous voltages are present.
If the instructions are not followed, there is risk of electrical shock and danger
to personal health.

3.2 Protection Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Integrated circuits are sensitive to ESD.To avoid damage caused by ESD, service engineers
and other people must handle equipment and boards carefully.
Electronic equipment has become more resistive to ESD, but we see an increase of
situations where static electricity can build up. This is caused by an increasing application
of man–made fibres like nylon, acrylic, etc. which are capable of generating ESD of 10,000
Volts and more.
Walking across a nylon carpet, even for a few feet, could cause a person to be charged–up
to more than 10,000 Volts.
Under these conditions, if a system board or a (C)MOS device is touched it could easily be
damaged. Although the device may not be totally defective, it is often degraded, causing
it to fail at a later date without apparent reason.
To make sure that equipment and parts are well protected during shipment, special
packaging materials are utilized. System boards will be shipped in anti–static bags and
(C)MOS devices and other sensitive parts in small shielded boxes.
3.2.1 ESD Handling
In the interest of quality and reliability, it is advisable to observe the following rules when
handling system parts:
• Keep parts in their protective packaging until they are needed.
• When returning system parts like EEPROMS to the factory, use the protective
packaging as described.
• Never underestimate the damaging power ESD can have and be especially careful
when temperatures are below freezing point and during very warm weather in
combination with low humidity. Make sure that the environmental conditions remain
within the limits specified in the components’ data sheets.
Figure 13.
IMPORTANT NOTE
In the interest of quality and reliability system boards and other parts returned
for exchange or credit may be refused if the proper protective packaging is omit-
ted!
3.3 Safety Aspects of the IP-DECT Base Station
The IP-DECT Base Station meets the valid editions of safety standard EN/IEC/CSA/UL/AU/
NZS 60950. The system is a class III equipment for stationary wall mounting.
3.4 Safety Aspects of the BS3x0 Base Station
The IP-DECT Base Station meets the valid editions of safety standard EN/IEC/CSA/UL/AU/
NZS 60950. The system is a class III equipment for stationary wall mounting.
3.5 Safety Aspects of the IP-DECT Gateway
The IP-DECT Gateway meets the valid editions of safety standard EN/IEC/CSA/UL/AU/NZS

3.6.4 Regulatory Compliance Statements
Figure 14.
FCC CLASS B NOTICE
This equipment complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is sub-
ject to the following conditions: 1) This equipment may not cause harmful
interference, and 2) This equipment must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. this equipment generates, uses, and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installtion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for help.
MODIFICATIONS: Any modifications not expressly approved by Ascom could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

4 Installation of the Base Station
This section describes how to install the IPBS and BS3x0. Both base stations can be fixed to
a wall, a ceiling, a pole or a beam, by means of the mounting bracket included. When
fixing the base station to a wall or ceiling the included plugs and screws must be used.
When fixing it to a pole or beam a strap or a flexible metal band must be used, this is not
included.
4.1 Base Station Cabling
Recommended base station cable is a standard CAT5 unshielded ethernet cable with
minimum 26 AWG copper conductors, this cable is also used for powering the base
station. It is assumed that installation personnel know how to crimp RJ45 connectors to a
cable.
Note: Since the distance between the base station and the wall is limited, a RJ45 modular
jack without cable retention must be used.

Note: Ensure that during the installation of an base station, each base station is given an
extra length (5-10 metres) of cable because it is possible that it will have to be moved for
one reason or another.
4.2 Install the Base Station
The base station can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Mount the base station at
places and positions as determined in the base station plan, see Considerations for Ascom
IP-DECT System Planning, TD92422. The base station must be placed in a way that it is not
facing large metal objects such as large heating pipes.
4.2.1 Fix the Mounting Bracket to a Wall
Fix the mounting bracket (see figure 4 on page 14) to the wall as follows:
1 Hold the mounting bracket with its flat side against the wall with the text ‘TOP’
upwards and mark the two holes. The minimum distance between the upper hole
and the ceiling or any object above the base station must be at least 65 mm, see
figure 4. If the distance is less than 65 mm, the base station cannot be slid onto the
bracket.
2 When using wall plugs: Drill the two holes using a ∅6 mm drill and insert the
included wall plugs.
3 Position the mounting bracket with its flat side to the wall and fasten it with the
two included ∅3.5 mm screws.

4.2.2 Fix the Mounting Bracket to a Ceiling
Fixing to a ceiling is done in the same way as the a wall, see 4.2.1 Fix the Mounting
Bracket to a Wall. When the base station has to be positioned above a suspended ceiling,
make sure that the front of the base station points downwards.
4.2.3 Fix the Mounting Bracket to a Pole or Beam
The mounting bracket can be fixed to a pole (diameter ≥45 mm) or a beam (wider than
50 mm) by means of a strap or flexible metal band less than 30 mm wide. The strap or
flexible metal band is not included in the box.
1 Fix the mounting bracket to a pole or beam using the metal band, see figure 5.

4.2.4 Use the Cable Ducts
When the base station is mounted to the wall, cable ducts can be used to route the wiring
through.
1 Fix the cable duct to the wall in one of the positions shown in figure 6 on page 16.
