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.

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. Use an antistatic wrist strap throughout the procedure, and work on antistatic mats if possible. Avoid touching the circuit board and other components unnecessarily with hands, tools, or anything else. Work in a clean, dry environment so the circuitry is not exposed to moisture, dirt, dust, or anything else which could cause damage.
