NEBS Compliance Requirements
CAUTION: The intra-building ports, including Ethernet, asynchronous, and discreinput ports, of the equipment or subassembly are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089) 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.
The intra-building ports, including Ethernet, asynchronous, and discrete input ports, of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intra-building cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.
Laser Radiation
LASER DANGER: The WGBE expansion card uses Class IIIb laser devices. Invislaser radiation is present when the optic connectors are open. Always avoid direct or scattered exposure to the beam when servicing or installing customer cables. Also avoid exposure from receive cables connected to any laser device.
FCCThe Federal Communications Commission has set limits for emitted radio interference, and Remote RMX-3200 is constructed with this electromagnetic interference (EMI) limitation in mind. Remote RMX-3200 is classified under FCC regulations as a Class A device, that is, a device for use in commercial environments and not in residential areas. This device has been tested and shown to comply with the following FCC rule: Part 15 Subpart J. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to radio and TV reception, requiring the user to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
Information is available from the FCC describing possible corrective actions. To maintain low EMI levels, we suggest that you use only metal connectors and shielded cable grounded to the frame.
Remote RMX-3200 complies with 47 CFR, Part 68 of the rules. On the top of Remote RMX-3200 is a label that contains, among other information, the certification number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
If the terminal equipment Remote RMX-3200 uses causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary

Step 5: Connect Inputs and OutputsInput and output connections are made using a wire wrap distribution panel.
Some wire wrap distribution panels include pins marked “+24V IN”, “+24 OUT”, “GND IN”, and “GND OUT”. To power external devices (such as analog sensors), you can connect the + terminal of Remote RMX-3200’s 24VDC output power connection to the “+24V IN” pins and connect the - terminal of Remote RMX-3200’s 24VDC output power connection to the “GND IN” pins. You can then connect the + terminal of an external device to the “+24 OUT” pins and the - terminal of the external device to the “GND OUT” pins. The multiple pins are present to accommodate the current-carrying limitations of individual strands of CAT5 wire.
For instructions on physically mounting the panel, see section Rack-Mounting the Wire Wrap Distribution Panel on page 27.

Rack-Mounting the Wire Wrap Distribution PanelTo mount the wire wrap distribution panel in a rack:
1. Locate the four square holes in the back of the wire wrap distribution panel. Through each of the two innermost holes, insert an 8-32 x 5/8" carriage bolt so the threads protrude to the rear of the panel as shown in the figure below. When the bolt is seated, the square base of the carriage bolt should fit in the hole to prevent the bolt from rotating.
2. Fit the carriage bolts through the corresponding holes in the mounting bar, then secure the bar to the panel by threading an 8-32 hex nut with lock washer onto each bolt.
Note: The mounting bar can accept two wire wrap distribution panels mou
side-by-side. This arrangement is shown in the figure on the following page.

Maintaining and Replacing the Fan
Fan Inspection and MaintenanceWestell recommends inspecting the fan built into Remote RMX-3200 every six months. The inspector should make sure the fan is operating, the opening is not obstructed, and the filter is clean. Clean or replace the filter if needed (see instructions below). If the fan is making noise, replacement is advisable.
Cleaning the Fan FilterWestell recommends cleaning or replacing the fan filter every three to six months. Fan filters need to be replaced at least every two to three years to ensure media reliability and eliminate residual dust buildup and subsequent airflow resistance.
1. Remove the filter from the housing on the front of Remote RMX-3200 prior to initiating cleaning.
2. The filter may be cleaned using slightly compressed air, a vacuum, mild detergent, and/or clean water. If cleaning with compressed air or vacuum only, the dry filter can be reinstalled immediately.
3. If cleaning with water:
The filter should be completely dry before reinstallation.
Use only a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, if degreasing is necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents or cleaning agents.
4. Also clean the filter housing and the filter mounting location on Remote RMX-3200 prior to reinstallation of the filter. Use only a dry cloth or swab to clean Remote RMX-3200.
Fan Replacement ProcedureIf the fan built into Remote RMX-3200 fails to operate, follow these steps to replace it.
Note: Because of the difficulty involved with this replacement procedure, customay instead contact Westell Customer Assistance to return the Remote RM3200 for fan replacement service.
CAUTION: This procedure involves opening the Remote RMX-3200’s externahousing. Great care needs to be taken to avoid damaging the internal components.
