Eclipse Installation Manual
General Hazards
The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when
planning and installing an Eclipse system.
For more information on health and safety when using Aviat Networks products, refer
to Aviat Networks’ Best Practices Guide.
Topic Information
Airflow Requirements Rack installations must be made so the airflow required for safe and
correct operation of Eclipse is not compromised. For the fan-cooled
Eclipse INUs and fan-cooled Eclipse IDUs, unobstructed air passage
must be maintained to each side of the chassis, which requires a
minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) of side spacing to any rack panels,
cable bundles or similar.
Where a Fan Air Filter is installed in an INU it must not be allowed
to become clogged with dust. Replace when necessary.Inspection
must be at not more than 12 monthly intervals when installed in
telecommunications equipment room controlled-air environments.
Otherwise, inspection is required at more frequent intervals.
EMC Eclipse has been tested for and meets EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
The equipment was tested using screened cable; if any other type
of cable is used, it may violate compliance.
Eclipse is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures. This equipment is intended to
be used exclusively in telecommunications centers.
ESD ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components.
Even if components remain functional, ESD can cause latent
damage that results in premature failure. Always wear proper ESD
grounding straps when changing or handling the plug-in cards and
avoid hand contact with the PCB back-plane and top-plane. Connect
your ESD grounding strap to the combined ESD and ground
connector on the INU rack ear. Spare plug-in cards or cards to be
returned for service must be enclosed in an anti-static bag. When
removing a card from the anti-static bag for installation in an INU,
or placing a card in a bag, do so at the INU and only when
connected to the INU via your ESD grounding strap.
Circuit Overloading When connecting the Eclipse, determine the effect this will have on
the power supply circuit protection devices, and supply wiring.
Check Eclipse power consumption specifications and the supply
capability of the power supply system. This check of capacity must
extend to the dc power supply and not just to an intermediate
connection point.
Eclipse Indoor Unit and
DC Supply Grounding The ground for Eclipse indoor unit(s) must be connected directly to the dc supply system ground conductor, or to a bonding jumper
from a grounding terminal bar, or bus to which the dc supply
system grounding is connected.

2-4 Aviat Networks
Chapter2. Health and Safety
Intrabuilding interfaces
and cabling for NEBS
compliance
Intrabuilding connections to/from Eclipse ports must only be
connected via intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling.
Intrabuilding ports MUST NOT be metallically connected to
interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are
designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4
ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors
is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces
metallically to OSP wiring.
Shielded and grounded cables must be used for intrabuilding
cabling to/from Eclipse ports. Cables must be grounded at both
ends.
Protection from RF
Exposure When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the following:
• Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF exposure
guidelines for general public. Refer to RF Exposure.
• Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first
ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched
off.
• At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details
of other radio services active at the site and for their
requirements/recommendations for protection against
potentially harmful exposure to RF radiation.
• When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a
multi-antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful
levels of RF radiation, wear a protective suit.
• Do not look into a waveguide port when the radio is active.
Fiber Optic Cables Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure
location during installation.
Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bend radius.
Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Ground Connections There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in
ground conductors.
Mains Power Supply
Routing Eclipse dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept
away from any power lines which cross them.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature The maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) for an Eclipse indoor unit is +45° C (113° F). To ensure correct operation and to
maximize long term component reliability, ambient temperatures
must not be exceeded. Operational specification compliance is not
guaranteed for higher ambients.
Mechanical Loading When installing an indoor unit in a rack, ensure the rack is securely
anchored. Ensure that the additional loading of an Eclipse indoor
unit or units will not cause any reduction in the mechanical stability
of the rack.
Topic Information

260-668066-003 Rev 001 August 2010 2-5
Eclipse Installation Manual
RF Exposure
To ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum distance of
20 meters must be maintained between the antenna and any persons whilst the unit is
operational. This calculation is based on the maximum conducted power and
maximum antenna gain.
Power Supply
Connection The Eclipse INUs have the +ve pin on their dc power supply connector connected to chassis ground. It must be used with a
-48 Vdc power supply which has a +ve ground; the power supply
ground conductor is the +ve supply to the radio. For NEBS
compliance the battery return connection is to be treated as a
common DC return (DC-C), as defined in GR-1089-CORE.
• There must be no switching or disconnecting devices in this
ground conductor between the dc power supply and the point of
connection to an Eclipse system.
The Eclipse High Power IRU 600 supports wide-mouth +/-21 to
+/-60 Vdc operation. Both pins on its power supply connector are
isolated from chassis ground. For NEBS compliance the battery
return connection is to be treated as an isolated DC return (DC-I),
as defined in GR-1089-CORE.
The power supply for an Eclipse system must be located in the same
premises as the Eclipse system.
Power Supply
Disconnect An appropriate power supply disconnect device should be provided as part of the building installation.
Rack Mount
Temperature
Considerations
If the Eclipse indoor unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. The maximum
ambient temperature (Tmra) of +45° Celsius (113° F) applies to
the immediate operating environment of the Eclipse indoor unit,
which, if installed in a rack, is the ambient within the rack.
Restricted Access The Eclipse system must be installed in restricted access sites. The
indoor unit and associated power supply must be installed in
restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms, closets,
cabinets, or the like. Access to the tower and antenna location must
be restricted
Note: For USA:
In restricted access areas install the Eclipse system in accordance
with articles 110-26 and 110-27 of the 2002 National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or to any subsequent update to this code for
the relevant articles.

Chapter2. Health and Safety
• Eclipse with IRU600, 5.8 GHz, has been tested and certified for use with a parabolic
antenna with a maximum gain of 46.8 dBi. Higher gain antennas must not be used.
• The maximum transmit output power on the IRU 600 has been limited to a
maximum of 1W (30dBm) at the antenna port, to comply with the conducted power
limit in FCC CFR 47, Part 15.247.
Routine Inspection and Maintenance
This section overviews required and recommended inspection and maintenance
practices to ensure health and safety of installed equipment is maintained to highest
levels. For more information, refer to the Aviat publication: Best Practices.
Routine Inspections
All sites must be inspected annually, or more frequently if subject to abnormal
operating conditions such as particularly exposed sites, or sites subject to salt-spray or
heavy snow/ice loading over winter months.
The inspection should cover the physical installation including the antenna,
waveguide, equipment grounding, tower and building grounds, weatherproofing, and
general site integrity.
Where a Fan Air Filter is installed in an INU (for NEBS compliance) it must be
inspected annually, or more frequently if the INU is installed in an environment that is
nor controlled for dust exclusion.
Selected ground wires should be resistance checked and then compared with previous
checks to ensure there has been no significant change.
The operational performance of the radio and associated equipment should be checked
against their as-built figures.
Trend Analysis
Use available current and historical Eclipse alarm and performance data to determine
any trend that may lead to a failure - if allowed to continue.
Check for the following trends:
• Reducing receive signal levels
• Gradually increasing bit errors or an increasing errored seconds count
• Changes in transmit power
• Increasing occurrence of other weather related changes in performance
• Increasing occurrence of a particular hardware failure
Time spent in conducting such analysis is time well spent. Catching a problem before
it brings down the network is good network management.

260-668066-003 Rev 001 August 2010 2-7
Eclipse Installation Manual
Fault Analysis
All faults, once cleared, should be the subject of a fault report. The data presented in
these reports should be analyzed from time to time to check for any common threads,
which may point to a particular weakness in the design, installation, or maintenance of
the network or to a specific component.
The time taken to restore service and the parts used should also be analyzed to see if
improvements are possible in the maintenance procedures, maintenance training and
spares holdings.
Training
Properly trained and experienced planning and installation personnel are essential for
establishing and maintaining high integrity in a new network. Similarly, properly
trained network management and service personnel are essential for the continued
good health of a network.
The training needs for personnel should be reviewed from time-to-time to ensure they
maintain expertise in their area of work, and on the installed base.
Spares
Spares holdings should be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the correct quantity
and type are held, and held at the most appropriate locations.
Analysis of spares usage will show any trend for excessive use of spares, which may
point to a weakness in the deployment or manufacture of the item.
Spares holdings should also be checked from time to time and if necessary brought up
to the current hardware and/or software revision level.
