PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL
3.2.1 Selecting a Location to Ensure Proper Cooling
•
Mount the repeater so that heat can be dispersed from it.
•
The repeater wall mounting kit ensures an optimum airflow between the wall and the repeater.
•
Do not block this air channel as it will cause the MTBF of the repeater to drop dramatically, or
even in the worst case cause the repeater to fail completely.
•
If possible, use a wall in the shade to minimize the overall sun loading. If sufficient shielding
cannot be obtained, an additional sun shield should be mounted.

3.2.2 Wall-Mounting Preparation
Caution!!
It is recommended that two people lift the repeater since (depending upon the
configuration) the BSF-4004 weighs approximately 28 kg.
•
Wall compatibility -
check the suitability of the wall on which the BSF-4004 is to be to be fitted.
•
Plan mount -
check the actual fixing centres (see below) and overall dimensions of the BSF-
4004 enclosure. The BSF-4004 is supplied with two wall mounting brackets; when the BSF-
4004 is mounted on these brackets adequate ventilation is provided between the BSF-4004 and
the wall to which it is fixed.
•
Plan connection cable clearances -
the Optical, RF and power connections located on the
underside of the BSF-4004 will need at least 300mm vertical clearance below the BSF-4004 to
enable the connections to be made. The minimum bend radius for Optical and 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 BSF-4004 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 analyzer. Allow an additional 500mm of space in front of the BSF-
3604 when the door is fully open.
