Animation of a Telecommunications Site Example Layout (Text Version)

Below is a text version of an animation that provides an example of a telecommunications site layout that uses hydrogen fuels cells for backup power along with some of the codes and standards that apply to such a site.

The animation is a map-like drawing of an example telecommunications site that includes a telecommunications tower, a battery backup cabinet, an equipment cabinet, a fuel cell, and gaseous hydrogen storage. The telecommunications tower stands in a fenced-in area. Connected to the right of the tower are its battery backup cabinet and equipment cabinet. To the right of that is the fuel cell and hydrogen storage. A secondary street is located along the right side of the lot, and a primary street is located along the bottom of the lot.

Setback distances are indicated by colored regions and are summarized in a setback table titled 2006 International Fire Code (IFC) Setbacks:
