Antenna
◦
Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the
Antenna Mounting section above.
◦
Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable.
Typically, for an antenna of 1.2 m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to
the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace should not be
mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly
back to the tower or an alternative point.
◦
Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate.
Some antennas have moisture drain plugs installed at various points
around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any moisture
that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent
a pool within the antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna,
after installation, should be removed. All other plugs should be left in
position.
3 ODU (Outdoor Unit)
◦
The ODU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in
the Antenna Mounting section above.
◦
The ODU polarization is as per link requirements and matches the
polarization of the antenna.
◦
The main traffic connections are correctly terminated and crimped as per
cable and connector manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads
should be routed carefully and efficiently, using conduits to prevent
damage to the cables.
◦
All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.
◦
All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to
each customer. At a site with only one installation, labeling may be
unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations, correct and
adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.
Typical labeling requirements include:
◦
Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing
◦
ODU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization
◦
Cat5/Fiber cable labels - for link identity, close to the ODU, switch, and
either end of any joint
◦
Switch labels - for link identity
