The installation mode of ZXG10 iBSC falls into the base installation mode and the feet
installation mode.
Base installation mode is applicable when the equipment room is equipped with anti-static
floor. Users should install the adjustable base (provided by ZTE) to level the cabinet.
Feet installation mode is applicable when the equipment room has a cement floor. Use
the pressure plates to install the feet under the cabinet (with four feet).
5.1.1 Cabinet Installation Requirements

Cabinet installation requirements are set out below.
1. The cabinet shall be installed vertically. After finishing installation, the horizontal and
vertical error shall be no more than 3 mm.
2. The cabinet layout shall meet the requirements of engineering design. The main aisle
between cabinet rows shall align and form a straight line and the error shall not be more
than 5 mm. The adjacent cabinets shall be placed one by one without any clearance.
The cabinets in one row shall be in the same plane.
3. Choose base installation mode or feet installation mode according to the floor in
equipment room. Each fastening screw shall be fixed tightly and the outside length
(height) of the same kind of screw shall be identical.
5-1

4. No component on cabinet shall be falling off or broken. There shall be no peeling and
bumping mark on the lacquer coat, recoat it if any. Various labels shall be complete
and clear.
5. Take full measures for anti-earthquake requirements in cabinet installation and fixation.
6. The cabinet position shall provide the convenience for installation, maintenance, and
system capacity expansion. In addition, you shall consider the bearing capability of
the floor. The weight shall be distributed evenly. In consideration of the cable length
in BSC, the distance between two cabinets shall be no more than 23 m for the BSC
with two cabinets.
7. Headroom Requirements
There are two cabling modes in equipment room: cabling in cable racks and cabling
under raised floor. That is, all cables for connecting cabinets in whole system can be
routed out from top or bottom. This is convenient to move equipment, easy to maintain,
and can save space.
The height of equipment room refers to the net height from the beam bottom or wind
duct to the upper surface of the floor. The height of equipment room should be more
than 3m for cabling in cable racks and should be more than 2.7m for cabling under
raised floor.
Headroom equals to 1m (height of equipment room 3m - cabinet height 2m).

If top decorative plate (0.2m) is included, the headroom equals to 0.8m.
Generally, indoor cabinet is installed in transverse alignment. The distances between
cabinets and between cabinet and wall are shown in Figure 5-1.

5.2 Base Installation Mode

This mode is applicable on the anti-static floor. Both the base and the installation rack
base support the cabinet.
Fasten the base on the cement floor with expansion bolts, and fix the installation rack
base with the base through bolts. The cabinet slides into the installation rack base through
the frame on the base and then fixed on the rack base with bolts. A cabinet needs two
installation bases.
Make sure that the distance between the cabinet bottom and the upper surface of the
anti-static floor is greater than 10 mm after the installation so that the door of the cabinet
can be opened normally.
The base height can be adjusted in the unit of 25 mm. Refer to the installation instruction
for the base installation. Installation engineers can choose the base type according to the
height of the anti-static floor.

Keep the floor frame intact. If the conflict is unavoidable, remove the floor frame where
the conflict occurs during the installation.
5.2.4 Positioning Base

Context
Line marking and hole drilling are basic work for equipment hardware installation.
Inaccuracy in these activities will cause great inconvenience to the subsequent work
and affect the installation quality. Therefore, ensuring their quality is the prerequisite for
ensuring the quality of the whole project.
Steps
1. Marking on the floor
5-9

According to the cabinet position, put the marking template on the floor, and use the
template to mark the positions of expansion bolt holes (there are four expansion bolt
holes for each cabinet, that is, there are four holes on the template) and cabinet outline
on the floor. Marking template is shown in Figure 5-10.
Figure 5-10 Marking Template for Base Installation Mode
Note:
Re-measure all of the hole positions after the lines have been marked to avoid any
error of lineation. Check their sizes to make sure they are correct.
2. Drill holes on the cement floor

Take away the marking template and drill 90mm-deep and 14mm-diameter holes at
the marked positions on the floor. Make sure of the hole depth and size.
When making holes with a percussion drill (or an electric hammer), make sure that the
drill bit is vertical to the ground. Hold the drillstock firmly with both hands and press
downward vertically. Do not shake around to avoid damaging the ground and enlarging
the aperture or slanting the hole. If the ground surface is too smooth to locate the drill
bit, you can cut a concave in the hole location through the punching bit to help locate
the drill bit.
After drilling the holes, use a cleaner to remove the dust. Measure the hole spacing.
For holes with big spacing error, reposition and drill again.
5-10

5.2.5 Installing Base

Steps
1. Installing the expansion bolts
i. Use a cleaner to suck dust inside and outside the holes. Measure the spacing
between holes and place the adjustable base to check whether the base matches
the holes. For holes with a large deviation, it is necessary to reposition and re-drill
the holes before installing the expansion bolts, as shown in Figure 5-11.
Figure 5-11 Installing Expansion Bolt 1
ii. Take off the washer and the nut of the expansion bolt and place the expansion rod
and expansion bush vertically into the hole, as shown in Figure 5-12.
iii. Use a rubber hammer to strike the expansion bolt until the expansion bush is fully
inserted into the ground, as shown in Figure 5-13.
2. Adjusting the base height
Adjust all the supports to the preset height according to the measured height of the
floor and the height adjustment value of the feet at the bottom of the cabinet, and
tighten the height locking bolts to 45 Nm using a torque wrench. During fastening,
follow the principle of “Middle followed by two sides.” The height difference between
the two supports for each cabinet should not exceed 1.5 mm after the adjustment.
5-11

Note:
For a rough ground surface, the washers provided by ZTE may be used between the
base and the ground for partial adjustment.
3. Fixing the base

Clean the ground and the base surface, align the base installation holes and the
corresponding expansion bolts, and fix the bases to the ground with nuts and
washers. The fastening torque shall reach 45 Nm. Figure 5-14 shows the base

7.1 Overview of Cable Installation

Cable installation includes the installation of power cables, grounding cables, internal
cables, and external cables.
7.1.1 Cabling Requirements

Cabling requirements fall into:
l Power cable and grounding wire requirements;
l Internal cabling requirements;
l External cabling requirements.
7.1.1.1 Cabling Requirements of Power Cable and Grounding Cable

1. Cabling Specification
a. The power cables and grounding cables shall be separately wired from other
cables. While cabling in the rack, bind them separately instead of binding them
as a whole, which also applies to cabling outside the rack.
b. Wire the power and grounding cables from the cabinet top, and bind them on the
cabling racks at the top of the equipment room. The spacing between cable ties
should be 200 mm.
7-1

c. Bundle the cables with 150 mm- or 300 mm- long cable clips according to the
number of cables and cut the cable clips flush.
d. Before laying the power cable and the grounding cable, exactly measure the
distance between two ends, reserve an enough length, lest the cable would be
insufficient in practice. During the cabling, if the reserved length is insufficient, a
longer cable should be used instead and re-distributed. Do not make connectors
or weld midway, as shown in Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1 Cabling of power cables and grounding cables
2. Specification of Engineering Labels

The flag-type label made by ZTE itself is used as the engineering identification for
power cables. The label at either end shall contain clear direction for both ends. The
label style is shown in Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-2 Power cable labels
It is pasted at the distance of 2 cm from the lug. First paste the label nearly half of a
circle on the cable, and then paste the backs of two halves of the flag-shaped label
together. One such label should be pasted on both ends of a power cable, as shown
in Figure 7-3.
7-2

Chapter 7 Cable Installation
Figure 7-3 Positions of Power Cable Labels
The flag-shaped power cable label is divided into two areas: L and R, whose meanings
are as follows:
a. L: fill with the location code of the local equipment, indicating the location of the
equipment connected with the local end the power cable.
b. R: Fill in the position code of the remote equipment, i.e. the position of the power
cable at the equipment of the other end. If the other end is connected to the power
distribution frame, the power distribution frame and the nature of the power cable
should be indicated Example: Distribution GND.
The contents of the two labels at the two ends of the same power cable should
be opposite. For example, the content filled in the L area of the label at one end
should be consistent with that in the R area of the other end.
7.1.1.2 Cabling Requirements for Internal Cables

1. Routing Methods of Internal Cable
Cabling requirements of internal cables:
a. Lay the internal cables according to the system cabling rules specified in related
documents. The cable should be laid neatly and attractively. All cables should be
bundled and laid in a consistent direction, with even interval between cable ties.
b. Identify the two ends of the cable clearly with labels. Do not incorrectly insert them
or miss any cable.
c. Lock the cable connectors tightly with the locking device.
d. Separately bind the signal cables and the strong-current cables to avoid
interference to the signals.
e. The bending should be smooth and round. The minimum bending radius is no
less than 100 times of the cable outer diameter.
f. Bind the surplus length of the cables inside the cabinet on the side cabling beam
of the cabinet after arranging them neatly and in order to avoid damages to the
cables due to shaking during the transportation.
g. When laying the cables along the vertical cabling trough, ensure that a cable clip
is used at every spacing of 100 mm.
7-3

h. The extra parts of the cable ties should be cut off and free of burrs.
2. Routing Methods of Internal Fiber
Different from cables, fibers are often connected to the front panel of the subrack or
the equipment. Therefore, the fiber cabling is particular. Cable the fibers outputted
from different panels along the panel respectively. The fiber cabling should not affect
the insertion and extraction of adjacent boards. Besides, there are some particular
requirements:
a. Cable the fibers in pairs. Do not bend then in right angle. If it is obliged to bend,
the bending radius mustn’t be less than 30 mm.
b. It is better to bind the fibers fixed on the vertical trough every 300 mm. Bundle
with fiber adhesive tapes at each distribution point.
c. When cabling fibers in the whole equipment, make the fibers be supported. Do
not lay cables on the fibers.
d. Do not contact the fibers with the sharp edges of the cabinet. Prevent the fibers
from being damaged. The actual gap between the cable and mechanical parts
must be greater than 10 mm. If there is no guarantee, add the jacket.
e. Add the jacket to the fibers that is unnecessary for the time being for the protection.
Wire, bundle and fix them.
f. If there are few fibers and when cabling the fibers with signal cables, protect the
fiber with wiring pipe. Use corrugated pipes where they leave the cabinet, to
prevent fibers from being crushed.
7.1.1.3 Cabling Requirements for External Cables

1. Methods of Laying External Cables
a. In the room with support and static floor installed, all cables can be routed from
in-between floor or cable trough. If routing upside, cable rack shall be paved above
the cabinet.
b. The position to place cable shall be designed in advance, and all cables shall be
kept in order and no any damage.
c. External cables include power cable, tail fiber, trunk cable, and other signal cables.
The cables on the cabling rack must be bundled according to category, and cables
cannot be crossed. The cables are bound and fixed by cable tie, with a 20 cm
spacing between each other.
d. Cable bends smoothly, the bending radius shall be more than 60 mm.
e. Routed cables shall be bundled with tidy and order appearance, the cable tie shall
be evenly distributed and have suitable tension.
f. The cables routed in slot can be loose, but shall be kept in straight and no cross,
and the cable shall not get across the slot. The cables shall be bundled at the slot
entry/exit position and bending positions.
7-4

g. For trunk cable, when being routed from cabinet to relay rack, do not pull the cable
too tightly and do not cut extra cable after the cable is routed. The cables placed
in slot or on floor shall be bundled separately. The cable shall be kept in straight,
no cross allowed, and keeping tidy and order after routing, no any damage on
external surface, and remain sufficient margin at required position.
h. Labels are required during cable routing, including labels of engineering user
cable, trunk cable, fibre cable, and power cable. The label is pasted at the
distance 2 cm from the end. Labeling content is the direction of two ends: cabinet
number + board number + socket number, belonging to two end identification
method. That is to say, identify the direction of two ends by the label at one end.
i. The cable routing shall provide convenience for maintenance and future
expansion.
2. Methods of laying external cable bundle
a. The cables should be bundled orderly, clearly and neatly. Generally, they are
bundled as a group according to the category. The E1 cables, if many, shall
be further classified into different groups, and be bundled with cable ties to wire
upward or downward from the cabling areas on both sides of the cabinet.
b. The harness should be bound with cable straps of different specifications
depending on the specific situations. Avoid using two or more cable straps jointed
together, as this will lower the binding strength.
c. Trim the excessive part neatly from the cable straps, without sharp burrs left at the
joints. When the cables are bundled into harnesses, the cable straps should be
positioned with an even spacing three or four times of the cable harness diameter.
When a cable harness makes a turn, the bending radius should be as large as
possible to avoid breaking the inner cores due to excessive stress at the turn. The
bundling of cables is shown in Figure 7-4.

End B connects to RJ45 at left side of rear fan subrack.
7.9 Installing Inter-cabinet Cables

It is used to connect cabinets within system but not with external equipment.
It is necessary to install inter-cabinet cables on the site. Generally, connect one end of the
cable in place before delivery, and bind the other end to the cabinet. At the site, connect
the other end properly.
Inter-cabinet cables include:
l Clock cable;
l PD485 interconnection cable;
7-32

l Interconnection cable on the control panel;

l Interconnection fiber on the user panel.
Except that PD485 interconnection cable, all other cables have the same connection
methods with those inside the cabinet.
The insertion direction of intra-cabinet PD485 interconnection cable:
Connect End A to RS485 (lower) on the backplane of power distribution box on Cabinet
n# (n = 1...4).
Connect End B to RS485 (upper) on the backplane of power distribution box on Cabinet
n# (n = 2…5).
7.9.1 Inter-Cabinet Cables

The cables are led out from the sockets on the cabinet backplane, then enter the horizontal
cabling rack, then distribute the cables upward or downward through the cabling trough (at
two sides of rear cabinet), and are led out of the cabinet through the opening at the top or
bottom of the cabinet.
The cables enter another cabinet via the cabling rack (upward cabling) or the cabling trough
(downward cabling) through the top or bottom opening, then are laid upward or downward
along the cabling trough, and finally reach the proper shelves in the cabinet along the
cabling rack and plugged into the proper rear board.
7.9.2 Inter-Cabinet Fibers

Properly insert one end of the fiber into the front panel of one cabinet, cable it along the
horizontal cable trough to the vertical cabling channel on both sides of the cabinet. Draw
the fiber out from the top or the bottom of the cabinet. Lead the fiber via the cable tray or
cable trough to the top or the bottom inlet of another cabinet. Finally, the fiber reaches the
corresponding front panel’s optical port via vertical cabling channel and horizontal cable
trough.

7.10 Installing Transmission System Cable

ZXG10 iBSC transmission system cables connect the external E1, T1, Ethernet (FE
electric port, GE optical port, and GE electric port), and STM-1 optical fiber.
7.10.1 Installing E1 Trunk Cables

Context
ZXG10 iBSC system provides two types of E1 cables: 75 Ω micro coaxial trunk cable and
120 Ω balanced trunk cable. The configuration is flexible according to the requirement.
When connected with external equipment, such as transmission equipment or cable
distribution frame, the shielding layer grounding of the connection cable can adopt
dual-end grounding mode. That is, the transmitting end must be reliably grounded. The
receiving end is grounded and at the same time, it reserves the possibility to disconnect
the grounding.
There are two kinds of E1 trunk cables.
1. 75Ω E1 trunk cable
It implements 75 Ω non-balanced transmission connection of external 2M interface at
interface A, Abis, and Gb interface.
Cable structure is shown in Figure 7-30.
7-34

Figure 7-30 75 ohms E1 trunk cable structure
The cable adopts two 16-core 75 Ω micro coaxial cables. Each cable provides 8 E1s.
End A of the cable is DB68 connector. Make End B connector on the site according
to the cable distribution frame of the office.
2. 120 Ω E1 trunk cable
It implements 120 Ω non-balanced transmission connection of external 2M interface
at interface A, Abis, and Gb interface.
120 Ω cable uses two 120 Ω PCM cables. Each PCM cable contains 16 twisted pairs
with 8XE1. End A of the cable is DB68 connector. Make End B connector on the site
according to the cable distribution frame of the office.
Steps
End A of the cable connects to E1/T1 1-16, E1/T1 17-32 on RDTB or E1/T1 1-16
on RSPB; specific quantity of required trunk cable and its specific position shall be
determined by ZXG10 iBSC system.
Connect End B of the cable to the cable distribution frame that the office provides or
directly to the peer end.
Note:
End A connector adopts plastic pressure mode and crimp End B connector with a
special tool. Make sure it is reliable and correct.
Signal relations at two ends of the cable are listed in Table 7-5 and Table 7-6. Signal
E1_TXn+/-(n=0..31) indicates Tx signal of E1 trunk in ZXG10 iBSC system, and signal
E1_RXn+/-(n=0..31) indicates Rx signal of E1 trunk.

8.1.2 Installation Descriptions

Antenna Installation
l The GPS antenna should be installed with no obstacles overhead.
8-1

l Ensure that no obstacles exist above the 15-degree elevation angle (horizon plane at
the top of the antenna).
l The GPS antenna is in the frequency band of 1575.42 ± 5 MHz.
l Ensure that no high-power microwave transmitter with the same frequency band exist
in the surroundings of the GPS antenna.
l Avoid direct high-power radiation of other frequency bands.
Feeder Cable Installation

To reduce attenuation and delay, the feeder cable should meet the following requirements:
l If the GPS cable length is less than 70 m, select 1/4” or 1/2” feeder cables and the
corresponding connectors.
l If the GPS cable length is between 70 m and 140 m, select 1/2” feeder cables and the
When installing the feeder cables, ensure that the minimum bending radius of the feeder
cables meets the following requirements:
l 1/4” feeder cable:
à Single bend: 40 mm
à Consecutive bends (≤15 bends): 76 mm
à Consecutive bends (≤15 bends): 160 mm

The GPS feeder cable should be connected to outdoor grounding bar using a grounding
clip at a point within 1 meter in front of the feeder window.
Note:
The shield corrugated copper tube on the feeder cable is thin, so avoid trampling on the
feeder cable.
Lightning Arrester Installation

The lightning arrester should be mounted inside the rack with N bolts. The Type-N
connector passes through ANT1 or ANT2 from the rack.
After the feeder cable from the antenna is routed from the upper cabling rack and
connected to the N connector of the lightning arrester, tighten the bolts and screws to
ensure that the lightning arrester is reliably grounded.
8-2

Chapter 8 Installing GPS Antenna Feeder System
SMA Male Jumper Installation

After one end of the SMA male jumper is connected to the lightning arrester, route the
jumper to the front upright cabling slot through the hold on the front dummy panel and the
clearance (25 mm high) above the rack, and then route it to the resource shelf where the
clock board is located. Finally, route the jumper to the clock board through the horizontal
cabling slot on the shelf and connect the jumper to the built-in jumper on the front panel.
8.2 Power Splitter Solution

8.2.1 Overview
The power splitter solution can be used when multiple ZXG10 iBSC is in the same room,
where installing multiple antenna feeder systems is not possible.
The solution is to install two GPS antenna systems to provide different GPS signals to the
active and standby clock boards on each ZXG10 iBSC, thus ensuring the reliability of the
GPS signal.
Figure 8-2 shows the power splitter solution.

Note:
l The length of a thin cable is limited by its large power loss, so the thin cable is used
only inside the rack for connecting the clock board. Use the 1/2” low-loss cable for
other places in the equipment room.
l The 1:8 splitter can be used for 8 ZXG10 iBSC. The 1:4 splitter can be used for 4
ZXG10 iBSC.
l On the power splitter, the first output is DC-coupled with the input. The first output
provides power supply for the GPS antenna, while the second output provides standby
power supply for the GPS antenna.
When the first output cannot provide power supply, the diode of the second output
is turned on to provide power supply to the GPS antenna. When the power splitter
is used for output, either OUT1 or OUT2 should be used. If the output port is not
connected to the cable, a 50 ohm matched load must be connected.
8.2.2 Installation Descriptions

Antenna Installation
l The GPS antenna should be installed with no obstacles overhead.
l Ensure that no obstacles exist above the 15-degree elevation angle (horizon plane at
the top of the antenna).
l The GPS antenna is in the frequency band of 1575.42 ± 5 MHz.
Feeder Cable Installation

Based on the consideration of attenuation and delay, the feeder cable should meet the
following requirements:
l If the GPS cable length is less than 40 m, select 1/4” or 1/2” feeder cables and the
l If the GPS cable length is between 40 m and 90 m, select 1/2” feeder cables and the
During the installation process, ensure that the minimum bending radius of the feeder cable
meets the following requirements:
8-4

à Consecutive bends (≤15 times): 76 mm

à Consecutive bends (≤15 times): 160 mm
The GPS feeder is grounded at a point: Use a grounding clip to connect the GPS feeder
cable to the outdoor grounding bar at a point within 1 meter in front of the feeder window.
Bend the feeder cable in the U shape at the place it enters the room to prevent water
ingress.
Note:
The shield corrugated copper tube on the feeder cable is thin, so avoid trampling on the
feeder cable.
Lightning Arrester Installation

There are two methods for installing the lightning arrester:
l Through-wall installation
l Lug installation
Note:
l Select an installation method in accordance with the on-site conditions.
l The grounding area must be greater than 6 mm2 for either installation method.
l Through-wall installation
Figure 8-3 shows the through-wall installation. The wall thickness should be less than
the connector’s length. In most cases, the wall is replaced by a steel plate, which
must be grounded and fixed on the cabling rack or any fixed position.
The installation procedure: Drill a proper hole on the steel plate, put the connector
through the hole, and fasten the screw.
8-5

Figure 8-3 Through-Wall Installation
l Lug installation
Figure 8-4 shows the lug installation. The lightning protector is fixed on the cabling
rack or any fixed position. The copper lug of the outgoing cable is connected to the
grounding bar in the equipment room.
8-6

Figure 8-4 Lug Installation
Grounding cable installation:

l Take off the seal.
l Strip 55 mm off the grounding cable, wrap a circle.
l Put the washer, and press it using a nut.
The N(K)->SMA(K) connector with lightning protection is mounted inside the rack with an
N bolt. The N connector passes through ANT_Aor ANT_B from the rack.
After the feeder cable is routed from the upper cabling rack and connected to the N
connector, tighten the bolt and screw to ensure that the lightning arrester is reliably
grounded.
SMA Male Jumper Installation

After the one end of the SMA male jumper is connected to the lightning arrester, route the
jumper to the front upright cabling slot through the hold on the front dummy panel and the
clearance (25 mm) at the rack top, and then route it to the resource shelf where the clock
board is located. Finally, route the jumper to the clock board through the horizontal cabling
slot on the shelf and connect the jumper to built-in jumper on the front panel.
8-7

8.3 Precautions
8.3.1 Signal Reception Environment
The larger sky to which the GPS antenna is exposed, the more satellites’ signals are
available to the receiver, and the more accurate the time can be provided by the GPS
antenna.
The GPS signal has the following characteristics:
l All metal entities can entirely cover the GPS signal. The car films containing metal
coating can also shield some GPS signals.
l After passing through liquid entities thicker than 1 cm, the GPS signal attenuates to
being unavailable.
l Glass and plastics only weakens the GPS signal slightly, but thick nonmetallic objects
can entirely cover the signal, such as a chunk of wood and a thick book of several
centimeters.
l 1475.42 MHz microwave signals has a wavelength of 19 cm, and can pass through
metal nets with hole diameters greater than 19 cm or metal truss structures such as
power transmission tower.
Therefore, the antenna must be installed in high places with few obstacles, such as the
roof. Following are some issues related to installing the GPS antenna.
l Ensure that no obstacles exist above the 30-degree elevation angle, so that the GPS
antenna can receive signals from the most possible satellites.
l Avoid installing the GPS antenna inside a building, because the indoor GPS signals
are too weak.
l For tower-mounted installation, the antenna pole should have a horizontal distance of
30 cm off the tower to prevent signals from being shielded by the tower.
l Trees or plastic awnings above the antenna normally has little influence on signal
reception.
l Ensure that no vines grow up intertwined on the antenna.
8.3.2 Interference
To avoid co-frequency blocking on the receiver caused by electromagnetic interference,
the following issues should be considered:
l Avoid installing the GPS antenna under microwave transmission antennas,
high-voltage cables, and TV transmission towers.
l Ensure that the GPS antenna is not radiated by the main lobe of a mobile antenna.
8-8

8.3.3 Outdoor Lightning Protection Grounding

The lightning protection grounding for GPS antennas has two installation scenarios:
1. Tower-Mounted Installation: Figure 8-5 shows the tower-mounted installation.
Figure 8-5 Tower-Mounted Installation
The feeder cable on the tower is not grounded directly, but connected to the grounding
bar. On the prerequisite that the 30-degree elevation and the theft-proof height is
guaranteed, the antenna should be installed as low as possible to reduce lightning
induction. The GPS antenna feeder needs DC power supply, so the lightning
discharging of the tower increases the ground level of the GPS antenna, and the
grounding status of the tower cannot be guaranteed.
The feeder cable should be grounded at the following places:
l The place where the tower touches the ground.
l A place near the feeder window.
l Every point at a 20-meter interval between the above two grounding points.
2. Roof Installation: Figure 8-6 shows the roof installation.
8-9

Figure 8-6 Roof Installation
l The GPS antenna and feeder cables should be installed within the 45-degree
cone protected by lightning receptors. If the GPS antenna is out of the protection
area, a special lightning rod should be installed on the antenna.
l The GPS pole or feeder cable should be at least 0.5 meter off the lightning rod
pole horizontally.
l The outdoor feeder cables should be as short as possible (no greater than 20
meters) to reduce changes of lightning induction. If the cable is longer than 20
meters, route the cable through the steel tube and ground both ends of the tube.
l GPS feeder cable should be routed from the low-voltage well in the middle of the
building to the outside. Avoid routing the GPS feeder cable along the outer wall.
l The GPS feeder cable must be routed under the lightning receptor, with a distance
of at least 0.2 meter.
