4.2.1 Selecting a Location to Ensure Proper Cooling
●
Mount the repeater so that heat can be dispersed from it.
●
The repeater wall mounting brackets ensure an optimum airflow between the wall and the
heat-sink on the rear of 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.

4.2.2 Wall-Mounting Preparation
It is recommended that two people lift the repeater since (depending upon the
configuration) the BSF-3302 weighs approximately 30 kg.
●
Wall compatibility -
check the suitability of the wall on which the BSF-3302 is to be to be
fitted.
●
Plan mount -
check the actual fixing centres (see below) and overall dimensions of the
BSF-3302 enclosure. The BSF-3302 is fitted with wall mounting brackets which provide
adequate ventilation between the BSF-3302 and the wall to which it is fixed.
●
Plan connection cable clearances -
the Optical, RF and power connections located on
the side of the BSF-3302 will need at least 300mm clearance 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-
3302 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-3302 when the door is fully open.
●
Fix bolts
–fix M8 Rawbolts or similar (100mm in length) into the wall at the dimensions as
illustrated in figure 1 below using equipment as specified by the fixing manufacturer. A
recommended method is set out below. Care must be taken to ensure the alignment of
the four fixings. A spirit level or plumb line should be used to ensure horizontal/vertical
alignment.
