5.4. Mounting the Repeater onto a Wall
WARNING! Due to the weight of the Repeater, it is NOT recommended to fix the
repeater to a hollow wall
Caution: It is recommended that when lifting, two persons handle the equipment as depending upon
the configuration the Repeater weighs between 20 and 33 kg
Check the suitability of the wall on which the Repeater is to be to be fitted. At this point it is
recommended that the actual fixing centres (see below) and overall dimensions of the Repeater
enclosure are checked. The Repeater is supplied with two wall mounting brackets; when the Repeater
is mounted on these brackets adequate ventilation is provided between the Repeater and the wall to
which it is fixed.
The Optical, RF and power connections located on the underside of the Repeater will need at least
300mm vertical clearance below the Repeater 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.
Ensure that there is sufficient space at the front of the Repeater 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
analyser. Allow an additional 500mm of space in front of the Repeater when the door is fully open.
Fix M6 Rawlbolts or similar (50 to 75mm 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.
