Safety Precautions

Thunderstorms
High temperature
Do not work with electrical current or work in elevated or exposed locations during a thunderstorm.
If the ambient temperature reaches 55°C, the surface temperature of an OAU 2F may exceed 70°C.

Extreme weather conditions Therefore, wear protective gloves when handling the OAU 2F. A high-temperature warning label ( ) is
attached to each OAU 2F.
OAU 2F is usually installed outdoors. If weather conditions are extreme during an installation, personnel
should follow the related local guidelines and regulations to safeguard personal health and safety. Handling of OAU 2F or mounting kits

Elevated locations Wear clean gloves when handling the OAU 2F or mounting kits.

OAU 2F is usually installed in an elevated location, for example, on the rooftop of a building. For installation Lasers
in elevated locations, installation personnel must:
Do not look into an optical port without eye protection.
 Have the proper training and qualifications, and meet health requirements.
 Wear helmets, safety belts, and anti-slip footwear.
Corrosion
 Wear clothing and gloves appropriate to weather conditions.
 Work in teams of two or more. Anti-corrosion measures are required if an OAU 2F is installed in a location that is prone to corrosion. Contact the
 Test hoisting tools before use. local Huawei office for details. A location is prone to corrosion if it is:
 Avoid installation during extreme weather conditions, such as during thunderstorms, blizzards, or gales.  Within 3.7 km of an ocean or a salt water lake
In addition, all site visitors must wear helmets.  Within 3 km of a heavy pollution source, such as a smelting factory or coal mine
 Within 2 km of a medium pollution source, such as a chemical, rubber, or electroplating plant
Microwave  Within 1 km of a light pollution source, such as a food/leather processing plant or heating boiler

High-power radio frequency signals are harmful. Avoid exposure to transmission from the antennas of Local rules and regulations

radiation from other antennas.

Unpacking
Moving and hoisting heavy objects
To prevent water vapor from accumulating inside the device:
To move or hoist heavy objects, use appropriate equipment and adhere to the  After unpacking an OAU 2F, power it on within 24 hours.
following guidelines:
 Do not power off an OAU 2F for more than 24 hours during maintenance.
 All personnel should wear helmets and protective clothes, gloves, and shoes.
 Move heavy objects along a flat obstacle-free path.
 Do not lift heavy objects by hand. Use appropriate equipment instead.
 When items are hoisted, ensure that those standing nearby are safe from falling objects.
 Use hoisting tools properly. Do not exceed load allowances to prevent damage to pulleys or slings.

supply.  If a service port is not in use, remove the cable from it and plug it with a waterproof block.
Do not install or remove a live power cable. Any contact between the power cable core and a conductor can
generate electric arc or sparks, which may cause fire or eye injury.
Connect the power cables correctly to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply device. The
recommended fuse capacity is 7 A to 10 A.
Do not connect the OAU 2F to an AC power supply device. Otherwise, the OAU 2F may be damaged.
Do not connect the OAU 2F to a DC power supply device providing power beyond the range of –38.4 V to –57.6 V.
Otherwise, the OAU 2F may be damaged.

Laying out Cables

General requirements Requirements for laying out cables outdoors

1. Bend radius  Route cables along the planned path, use outdoor cable ties or feeder clamps to bind cables properly and neatly
For power and PGND cables, ensure a bend radius of at least three times the cable diameter. at intervals of about 1 meter, and cut off the excess of each cable tie without leaving sharp edges (ensuring a
2. Cable binding slack of about 5 mm).
 Bind different cables separately. Maintain an interval of at least 30 mm between cable bindings.  Drip loops must be made for outdoor cables below ports or near feeder windows and ensure a bend radius greater
 Bind cables securely and neatly, without damaging the cable jackets. than or equal to the required minimum bend radius.
 Ensure that cable ties face the same direction and are aligned in rows horizontally.  After you form a drip loop in a cable, coil the cable into a roll with the diameter greater than 0.6 meters and bind

all cut surfaces do not have sharp edges.  Check whether there is a probability that outdoor cables will be damaged by external environmental factors. If yes,
 After installing cables, attach labels or tags to the two ends of each cable. you are advised to protect outdoor cables, for example, by putting the cables through tubes.
3. Safety  The cables to be protected consist of power cables, outdoor network cables, outdoor fibers, and IF cables.
 Lay out cables away from sharp objects or jagged walls, or protect cables using conduit.
 Lay out cables away from heat sources, or add heat-insulation materials between cables and heat sources.
 At turns or near equipment, allow sufficient slack in the cables and coil them (with a diameter of about 0.6 meters) Outdoor cable ties may be damaged due to installation and environmental factors. You are recommended to use feeder clamps in
for future use. high-temperature and dry environments or in freezing cold environments.
4. Indoor cable routing
 Route cables into equipment rooms through feeder windows.
 Seek help indoors when routing cables into equipment rooms.
 Waterproof feeder windows.

Requirements for laying out PGND cables

ODU
 Connect PGND cables of devices at the same site to the same ground bar.
 Do not route PGND cables overhead in outdoor scenarios.
 Bind PGND cables separately from outdoor network cables and leave an appropriate distance between the bundles.
 Do not add switches or fuses on PGND cables.
