Pre-Installation Requirements
2.1.
Safety Guidelines
Before installing the Line Amplifier, review the following safety information:
Follow all local safety regulations when installing the Line Amplifier.
Only qualified personnel are authorized to install and maintain the Line Amplifier.
Ground the Line Amplifier with the grounding bolt located on the underside of the Line Amplifier
Do not use the grounding bolt to connect external devices.
Follow Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions.
2.2.
Selecting a Location
Select a location that will take into account the following criteria:
Relative location of Radiating cable system and access
Cooling and airflow
Wall compatibility
Access to the equipment for installation or maintenance
2.2.1.
Cooling and Airflow
Install the Line Amplifier in a shielded, ventilated, and easy-to-reach area.
The Line Amplifier is convection cooled so airflow and alternation should be possible.
Verify that ambient temperature of the environment does not exceed 50
C (122
F)
2.2.2.
Wall Compatibility
Check the suitability of the wall on which the Line Amplifier is to be mounted.
The Line Amplifier wall mount brackets assembly should be fixed to a solid wall (these include
brickwork, block work, and concrete.);
(Due to the weight of the Line Amplifier, it is NOT recommended to fix to a hollow wall).
2.2.3.
Access to the Line Amplifier
Plan connection cable clearances -
the RF and power connections located on the underside of
the Line Amplifier will need at least
12” vertical clearance below the Line Amplifier to enable the
connections to be made. The minimum bend radius for RF cables must not be less than the
recommendations made by the cable manufacturer. Plan the cable runs and ensure adequate
space is available.
Allow for door opening
- ensure that there is sufficient space at the front of the Line Amplifier to
allow the door to be fully opened and for maintenance engineers to get access to the unit with test
equipment such as a spectrum analyser.
Allow space around the Line Amplifier -
verify that there is a minimum of a 50 cm (20”) radius
of space around the Line Amplifier, enabling easy access to the Line Amplifier for maintenance
and on-site inspection. Allow an additional 50 cm of space in front of the Line Amplifier when the
door is fully open.
