Cable Installation Safety Considerations
Interconnecting, communications, and Class 2 dc power cables should be separated from electrical light 
or other Class 1 circuits by at least 2 inches. The exception is where Class 1 wiring or power circuits are 
run in a raceway, or are metal-sheathed or metal-clad, or are permanently separately from the conductors 
of the other circuitry by a continuous and firmly fixed nonconductor such as porcelain tubes or flexible 
tubing in addition to the insulation on the wire. Communications cables and in-building wiring should be 
listed and marked for the purpose according to NEC Article 800. 
Telephone Line Lightning and Over-voltage Protection
For maximum surge and lightning protection, building primary (over-voltage) protectors should be 
installed at the point where the telephone lines enter the radio equipment building. Primary protectors 
are usually required by local codes and should be provided by your leased line provider. 
The IDR1000A DC Remote Desk Set has an over-current phone line fuse (F2) which protects against 
occasional extreme fault conditions that may get past the primary protectors. An example of such a fault 
condition is a power line cross. If the fuse requires replacement, replace F2 with the same type 
Bussmann C515S-1.25 A fuse.
