Danger
Danger
Hoisting Heavy Objects
When heavy objects are hoisted, do not stand or walk under the boom or the objects.
Caution
Microwave
Strong radio frequency can harm the human body. Do not stay too close to the antenna in the emitting direction of the
antenna when the microwave communication equipment is working. Before installing or maintaining an antenna on the
iron tower or the mast installed with more than one antenna, avoid the strong radiation from the other antennas.
Caution
IF Cable
Before installing or removing an IF cable, turn off the ODU power switch.
-1-
Working at Heights
When working at heights, prevent objects from falling down.
Thunderstorm
High voltage and AC operations, or operations on an iron tower and a mast on a thunderstorm day are prohibited.
This document aims a t providing simple and distinctive guidelines for hardware installation. For details on the
installation operation steps, refer to the Installation Guide delivered in the form of CD-ROM along with the equipment.

2. The place about 0.5 to 1 meter away from the cable entry of equipment room or outdoor cabinet
3. The place on the roof edge about one meter away from the turning point of the wiring ladder
4. The middle point of the cable (when the cable is longer than 60 meters)
5. The place on the roof edge about one meter away from the turning point of the wiring ladder (when the horizontal portion
of the cable on the roof-top is longer than 30 meters)
6. The middle point of the horizontal portion of the cable (when the horizontal portion on the roof-top is longer than 60
meters)
CAUTION
The grounding point depends on the installation mode and the length of the IF cable. Generally, the IF cable should be grounded
to a minimum of three points. When the IF cable is longer than 60 meters, add a grounding point for every extra 30 meters.
Antenna should be located in protective area of lightning arrester, and the area is a 45 arc area from the top of lightning
arrester. (This area may be 30 from the top according to technical agreement or project design requirements).
Lightening protection angle should meet the below requirements:

Step 1: Strip the power
cable for 5mm~7mm at
the end without connecter.
Do not damage wire core when
stripping.
Step 2: Connect the
stripped wire into the
power distribution box
and fasten the bolts.
Test the power supply polarity
with a multimeter before
installation to avoid reverse.
Shut down power before
installing or taking off IDU
power cable,connect to fuse of
7A~10A. If there is no such fuse
in power cabinet, connect to the
smallest one on the cabinet.
When connecting the power
cable, connect -48V and GND
wire separately at 2 ends of the
connector bar.
Step 3: Check the power
supply voltage
