1.4 How to use this document

Prior to installing the RRH, the installer should be familiar with the safety precautions,
warnings, and product conformance statements. Required tools and materials
recommended for installation, and a process checklist, are listed in Chapter “Tools,
materials, and checklists” .
The RRH installation instructions begin with Chapter “Transport, mount, and ground the
RRH” which provides mounting instructions for the RRH. After it is mounted into position,
the RRH can be connected to the network in accordance with the instructions given in
Chapter “Connect interfaces” . This connection is made via fiber optic cables. In addition,
instructions for connecting user and power alarms are provided in this chapter. Next,
instructions to connect the RRH to its power source is given in Chapter “Finish the
installation” . The power source is DC power provided from an external power converter
or DC generator.
1.5 Conventions used

In this document, all parts are described as they are shipped. Metric parts are specified
in metric units. Non-metric parts are specified in non-metric units.
Lengths and other measurements are given in metric units, with non-metric units given
as equivalents for use in non-metric markets.
For manufactured parts, the following system of conventions is used:
• Metric sizes of nuts, bolts, flat washers, and lock washers are identified by an
uppercase letter M followed immediately by a size in millimeters (example: M10)
• American fractional sizes of nuts, bolts, anchor bolts, and washers are identified by a
number followed immediately by a double apostrophe (example: 3/8"). In the case of
lengths measured in feet, "2 feet" is used rather than "2'" so that the single
apostrophe is not overlooked.
The illustrations in this document do not contain all details and exceptions, but are rather
intended to highlight main points. Dimensions are usually shown in millimeters, with
inches in parenthesis. As an example, 680.0 (26.77) equals 680 millimeters or 26.77
inches.
Wire gauges are specified in metric units. Equivalent sizes in the American Wire Gauge
(AWG) system are given in the following table.
Standard cross-sections and wire diameter of round copper conductors
The following table is from CEI/IEC 60947-1:2004, Table 1, Standard cross-sections of
round copper conductors and approximate relationship between mm2 and AWG/kcmil
sizes for reference. Additional wire sizes are included in this document as appropriate for
the topic.

weatherproofing over the RF cables at the RRH chassis.
2 Torque each RF connector at the RRH to 5 Nm (44 in-lb).
w Hold the body of the connector below the coupling nut with a pair of soft jaw pliers to
prevent torsional rotation of the cable while applying torque.
3 If weatherproofing is being used, finish its installation according to Apply weatherproofing
to connectors at RRH chassis or other instructions that came with the weatherproofing.
4 Secure the RF jumper cables along their route.
5 Inspect site for loose tools, materials, and parts. Remove all such loose tools, materials,
and parts.
6 Verify that all the exterior conduit and cable connections are secure.
8.3 Apply weatherproofing to connectors at RRH

chassis
Applying weatherproofing to the connectors may help extend their life by protecting them
from corrosion.
Prepare the surface

The surfaces of the connectors and RF jumper must be clean and dry before applying
weather proofing.
Types of weatherproofing
There are three typical weatherproofing methods:
• a boot
• cold shrink tubing
• butyl tape (a weather-proofing kit is available from ALU, comcode 300275484)
Follow the procedure below for the chosen type of weatherproofing or consult the
instructions that come with the specific product chosen.
DN193881465 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 79

8.3.1 Apply a boot

Purpose
g Note: The boot must be slipped over the RF jumper before connecting the jumper to
the chassis.
Procedure
1 Slide the boot up the coax. Twist the boot in a clockwise direction only (same direction as
tightening) to the RF connector. Do not twist the boot in a counter-clockwise direction or
it may loosen the RF connector.
2 Slide the boot over the connector until it is snug against the RRH chassis.
80 © 2018 Nokia DN193881465 Issue: 05

3 Reapply labels as needed.
8.3.2 Apply cold shrink tubing

Purpose
g Note: The cold shrink tubing must be slipped over the RF jumper before connecting the
jumper to the chassis.
Procedure
1 Apply a wrap of foam tape to the jumper near the connector in a clockwise direction
(same direction as tightening).
DN193881465 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 81

2 Apply a wrap of foam tape to the jumper 5 5/8” below the connector in a clockwise
direction.
82 © 2018 Nokia DN193881465 Issue: 05

3 Slide the cold shrink tube over both foam tape wraps until snug against the RRH chassis.
DN193881465 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 83

4 Remove the plastic core from the inside of the cold shrink while holding the rubber
sleeve in position. The core will unwrap in a counter clockwise direction.
g Note: Use a pair of snips to cut the unwrapped plastic core if it becomes tangled on the
jumper cable during removal.
84 © 2018 Nokia DN193881465 Issue: 05

5 Wrap the cell tape over the tip of a screwdriver.
DN193881465 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 85

6 Wind the tape onto the screwdriver so the plastic backing faces in.
86 © 2018 Nokia DN193881465 Issue: 05

7 From high to low, wrap the cold shrink in a clockwise direction with the cell tape until half
the width of the tape is on the jumper below the cold shrink.
DN193881465 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 87

8 From low to high, apply a second wrap in a clockwise direction up to the RRH chassis.
88 © 2018 Nokia DN193881465 Issue: 05

9 Smooth out any remaining wrinkles in the cell tape ensuring it is completely sealed
around the cold shrink.
8.3.3 Apply butyl tape

Purpose
g Note: These instructions are for the ALU supplied weatherproofing kit. Unlike with
ordinary butyl tape, neither the traditional “courtesy wrap” of vinyl tape under the butyl
tape nor the top wrap of vinyl tape over the butyl tape is necessary since the elastomer
medium in this tape will not flow under high temperature conditions.
Procedure
1 Peel back the release paper to reveal the butyl backing. Begin wrapping in a counter-
clockwise direction (opposite direction as tightening) starting three inches below the
connector by laying down the first two inch length of Fast-Wrap, butyl side down, without
tension.
DN193881465 Issue: 05 © 2018 Nokia 89

2 Apply tension to the Fast-Wrap so its 2” original width is reduced to about 1.5” and
continue wrapping the connection while overlapping rows at least 3/8”. Be sure to
maintain consistent tension. Be careful not to loosen the connector while wrapping. The
tension inherent in the tape will tend to tighten the connector over time, not loosen it.
3 Continue wrapping up to the RRH chassis. Terminate the wrap by laying down the last
two inches of length without tension.
t Tip: Allow the last two inches to hang freely for 10 seconds to insure there is no
residual tension. This will ensure permanent adhesion of the trailing edge.
