General Considerations
The following consideration and checks are applicable to all mounting types :-
Ø
Consider the earthquake zone requirements for the given site being considered
and ensure that the mounting arrangement and location complies.
Ø
Review the GPS installation guidelines (Step 7) to ensure that the location will
allow proper operation of the Node B GPS remote antenna. i.e. a Southern
Exposure is required for outside installations (Northern Hemisphere), a GPS
repeater may be necessary in areas where the active GPS antenna cannot
reach.
Ø
Depending on the installation it may be required to fit the cable conduit to the
cable glands prior to mounting Node B to the bracket.
Ø
There should be a minimum clearance of 1m above and below the Node B.
Ø
Ensure that the wall or mounting surface is sufficiently strong to support the
Node B and structure.
Ø
The Node B should be upright to permit adequate heat dissipation.
