Electrical Safety Notifications
Safety Notice
The LPODnet and LPOD or SPOD products are used with equipment that has been designed to
minimize exposure of personnel to hazards.
The operators and technicians must:
• Know how to work around, with and on high voltage equipment.
• Exercise every precaution to ensure personnel safety.
• Exercise extreme care when working near high voltages.
• Be familiar with the warnings presented in this document.
The LPOD and SPOD prime power supply inputs use Neutral Fusing – Double pole
/ neutral fusing.
Installation Guidelines Regarding Power Line Quality
Comtech EF Data has become familiar with the varying quality of the AC power
grid around the world. The following offers some installation guidelines that
should help ensure a reliable installation.
• Surge suppression: High voltage surges can cause failure of the power supply. These surges
are typically caused by circuit switching on the main AC power grid, erratic generator
operation, and also by lightning strikes. While the transceiver does have built in surge
suppression, if the unit will be installed in a location with questionable power grid quality,
Comtech EF Data recommends installation of additional power conditioning/surge
suppression at the power junction box.
You should carefully review the information that follows.
