4 HAAU5323 Installation Overview
This section describes the mounting kits and installation scenarios of an AAU.
4.1 Installation Scenarios
An AAU can be installed on a pole on the rooftop or tower. If an AAU is installed on a wall,
an auxiliary pole is required.
4.2 Mounting Kits
This section describes the mounting kits for installing an AAU onto a pole.
4.1 Installation Scenarios

An AAU can be installed on a pole on the rooftop or tower. If an AAU is installed on a wall,
an auxiliary pole is required.
Restrictions
To ensure safety performance such as heat dissipation and waterproof of an AAU, the
installation scenario must meet certain requirements. If the installation scenario does not meet
the requirements, contact Huawei engineers for evaluation.
 An AAU cannot be installed in an enclosed camouflage box or a camouflage cover.
 An AAU cannot be installed behind a device that can generate an electromagnetic field,
such as a motor.
 An AAU cannot be installed near an air vent that generates heat, such as an air
conditioner air vent or chimney vent.
 An AAU can only be installed on a pole that is vertical to the ground. It cannot be
installed on a diagonal pole or a horizontal pole.
 In general, no further beautification (for example, coating) is allowed to avoid affecting
the device performance.
 An AAU is a professional communication device and cannot be installed in areas that are
easily accessible to common people. The installation scenario involves security-related
features. For details about the requirements and precautions, see Security Information.

HAAU5323
Installation Scenario Description

An AAU can be installed on a pole secured on a rooftop or tower, as shown in the following
figure.
Figure 4-1 Installation scenario
Requirements for the Pole

The following table describes the requirements for the pole.
Table 4-1 Requirements for the pole

d scenario lb) (59.06 in.) ≤ 300 mm in.)
(2.36 in. ≤ Φ
≤ 11.81 in.)
 When the AAU is installed on the wall, an auxiliary pole is required. The wall must be capable of
bearing at least four times the total weight of the AAU and pole.
Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 show AAUs installed on main poles and auxiliary poles,
respectively.

4.2 Mounting Kits

This section describes the mounting kits for installing an AAU onto a pole.
The following figure shows the mounting kits for installing an AAU onto a pole.

HAAU5323
Figure 4-4 Pole mounting kits
(1) AAU handle (2) M6x16 bolt (3) Steel belt (4) Main bracket
When the AAU is installed on a pole, the default angle is 0° for the main bracket. The
adjustable range of pitch angle is –20 to 20 degrees. The pitch angle can be adjusted
according to the scale plate on the side of the main bracket.
● The scale plate of the mounting kit can only be used to adjust the angle coarsely. An
inclinometer must be used to adjust the angle precisely.
● If an AAU is installed on a tower, only downtilt scenarios are supported. The
adjustable angle range is –20° to 0°.
The following figure shows AAUs installed on poles.
