1 Safety regulations.

The personnel engaged with the installation, the use and the maintenance of the equipment has to be

familiar with the theory and practice of first aid.

1.1 Treatment of electrical shocks.

When the victim loses his consciousness:

Put into practice the following first aid principles.

Position the victim lying down on his back on a rigid surface.

Open the respiratory airways lifting up the neck and pushing down the front (Fig. 1).

If necessary, open the mouth to check the respiration.

In case the victim doesn’t breath, start immediately the artificial respiration (figure 2): bend the

head, close the nostrils, attach the mouth to the victim one’s and do 4 quick mouth-to-mouth

respirations

Figure 1: Resuscitation detail – 1.


Check the pulsation (Figure 3); in case of absence of pulsation, start immediately the cardiac

massage (Figure 4) pressing the breastbone in the middle of the thorax (Figure 5).




of 70 Version 1.1


When there is only one rescuer, he has to maintain a rhythm of 15 compressions alternated with 2

quick respirations.

In case there are two rescuers, the rhythm should be one respiration each 5 compressions.

Do not interrupt the cardiac massage during the artificial breathing

Call a doctor as soon as possible

When the victim is conscious

Cover up the victim with a blanket.

Try to calm down the victim.

Unbutton the cloche and lay down the victim.

Call a doctor as soon as possible.

1.2 Treatment of electrical burns.

Large burns and cuts of the skin

Cover up the interested area with a clean sheet or cloth.

Do not open the blisters; remove the fabric and the parts of the clothes attached to the skin; apply

a suitable ointment.

Treat the victim according to the type of accident.

Take the victim to the hospital as soon as possible.

When the arms and legs are affected keep them raised.

When there is no doctor available within an hour and the victim is conscious and does not retch, give a

liquid solution containing salt and sodium bicarbonate: 1 teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of sodium

bicarbonate for each 250 ml of water.

Have the victim sip half a glass of the solution for four times and for 15 minutes.

Stop when retching.

Do not give any alcoholics

Less serious burns

Apply cold (not frozen) gauzes using a clean as possible cloth.

Do not open the blisters; remove the fabric and the parts of the clothes attached to the skin; apply

a suitable ointment.

When necessary, put on clean and dry clothes.


of 70 Version 1.1

Treat the victim according to the type of accident.

Take the victim to the hospital as soon as possible.

When the arms and legs are affected keep them raised.

2 General Description.

The REBLE310-ODU is the outdoor version of the REBLE310, from which it differs for the separation

between modem and RF part (both located in a waterproof aluminum case) from the digital I/O section and

control.

The indoor unit or control unit (REBLE310-IDU) belongs to the same chassis of the REBLE310, and it is

realized in a new, compact (1U rack 19”) and high-end solution. A double hot-swappable power supply is

also present, available both in AC and DC version.

The improved ICs technology allows the implementation of direct frequency conversion from baseband I/Q

components to the final frequency, without IF stages. This assures no spurious emissions due to L.O. and

very compact sizes of both transmitter and receiver modules.

Mono and bidirectional configurations are available, as well as a relay version with the possibility of

asymmetrical configurations regarding frequency range and modulation schemes.

The high clock frequency allows the link achieve up to 40MHz bandwidth, transporting a 200 Mbit/s

payload in 128 QAM modulation. The I/O section is to be chosen depending on the application; 3 versions

are available: the first one with 4 ASI/BTS channels and one E1, the second with 2 ASI/BTS channels, one

STM-1 and one E1 and the third with 2 ASI/BTS, 1 E1 and a GbE port.

Many accessories are integrated in order to optimize spaces in remote sites, such as the hitless switch for

redundant configurations, the double hot-swappable power supply. A new embedded software offers

complete control of all parameters of the link, driving an easy user interface with a TFT touch screen and a

keyboard accessible from the front panel, for very simple and immediate maintenance and

troubleshooting. An intuitive web interface allows a local or remote user to manage the equipment, as well

as through SNMP protocol.
