Mounting
The mounting surface must be flat. Door closure problems
may occur if the BTS is not installed on a flat surface.
CAUTION
For an installation where the cabinet will mount flush to an existing
concrete floor, all of the connections to the cabinet will be made through
the rear I/O area of the cabinet. For this reason, the cabinet must be set
in place and bolted down prior to running any conduits or wiring.
Conduit/wire routing will be discussed in Chapter 5.
Lightning protection is provided with the cabinet. A good earth ground
(ground system resistance must be less than 10 Ohms
,
with 5 Ohms or
less being the goal), is required for the lightning protection equipment to
perform properly. Refer to Motorola’s guidelines (Motorola Publication
68P81150E62) for details on the design of a grounding system. Conform
to local electrical construction standards for conduit materials and sizing.
