INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The following installation assumes that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been
completed. This includes planning the distribution of antennas to provide the required coverage, as well as planning the
layout of the devices and cables in the telecom closet or shaft.
3.1 Infrastructure Preparation
The following installation rules are based on the assumption that the site survey and installation planning (including power
requirements) have been completed as well as the floor plan determining the distribution of the remote access units on each
floor to provide the required coverage
3.2 Installation Location Requirements
•
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
•
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize interference from
electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
•
Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement.
•
Ensure unrestricted airflow.
•
Ensure grounding connector is within reach of the ground wire.
•
Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.
•
Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.
•
Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic interference.
•
Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.
•
Ensure the equipment will be operated within the stated environment (refer to Appendix C: Specifications or unit
datasheet).
•
Where appropriate, confirm available of suitably terminated grade of RF and optical fiber.
•
Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.
3.3 Safety Guidelines
Before installing the equipment review the following safety information:
•
Follow all local safety regulations when installing the equipment.
•
Only qualified personnel are authorized to install and maintain the equipment.
•
Ground specified equipment with the provided grounding bolt
•
Do not use the grounding bolt to connect external devices.
•
Follow electro-static discharge (ESD) precautions.
•
Use low loss cables to connect the antennas
