1-1 Precautions

Note
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.

Danger
Thunderstorm
High voltage and AC operations, or operations on an iron tower and a mast on a thunderstorm day are prohibited.

Danger
Working at Heights
When working at heights, prevent objects from falling down.

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.

CAUTION
§ Bind the IF cable first to prevent its type-N connector from being pulled.
§ Take waterproof measures (waterproof curves) for the part of the IF cable below the ODU and the part of
the IF cable outside the IDU room.

Do waterproof treatment to the ODU IF


cable connector.
When winding tape, the upper layer
should cover 2/3 of the layer under it.

Reserve IF cable of proper length


(5m~10m recommended) at the ODU
end. Make it into a circle and fix on
tower.

The feeder must have a waterproof


arch before entering an equipment
room.

Tie the cable every 1.0m~1.5m.


IF cables shall be lined and tied closely
together. Distance between ties should
 be constant.

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:
· For plain area: ≤45°
