FOREWORD

The equipment is in compliance with the following standards.

EN 301 489-4 for EMC

ITU-R F595 and CEPT Rec. T/R 12-03 for RF channelling

EN 302 217 for fixed digital radio links

EN 300 132-2 power supply characteristics

EN 300 019 climatic characteristics (in operation: class 3.2 for IDU and class 4.1 for ODU; storing:
class 1.2; transport: class 2.3)

EN 60950 for the operator safety.

CHARACTERISTICS

The reported values are guaranteed if not specifically defined otherwise.

1.2.1

Versions

Two versions of ODU are available: ODU AS and ODU ASN. The two versions are similar. Differencies will
be pointed out.
Regarding ODU ASN, the units without isolator have SIAE code GE9xxx, the units with isolator have
SIAE code GE8xxx.
