- The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code requirements.

- Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical. Power Rating 40-90 VAC 47/63Hz 1.4A Lightning Protection WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed. All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury. The antennas are to be DC grounded, so surge protection is not required. Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:

- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment.

- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from lightning induced currents. A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction. A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from the building and equipment. To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended for the wireless system:

- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the lightning/surge protectors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for terminating the ground wires.

- The circuit ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the eNodeB.

DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 19 AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide 4 Installation of AirStrand 1300 AirStrand 1300 is installed on the strand (the steel cable) that runs from pole to pole supporting other cables, such as telephone and cable company cables that run from pole to pole. When mounting the AirStrand 1300 on a cable strand, you must use the Strand mount accessory kit. The kit contains several parts that you should assemble before mounting on a cable strand. The Strand Accessory kit contains the strand bracket(s) and the hanger bracket(s) (clamps) with the required hardware (included) required for installation. To install AirStrand 1300 to a cable strand, you need to perform these operations:

Assemble strand hanger brackets. Attach the strand hanger brackets to the AirStrand 1300 unit. Attach the hanger bracket clamps to the cable strand. Connect interface (5/8 Interface connector type) to the cable infrastructure. 4.1 Strand Mounting of AirStrand 1300 Caution: Proper local rigging and hoisting practices should be followed when installing the AirStrand 1300. Caution: The AirStrand 1300 is intended to be strand mounted in the telecommunications space between poles, not in the electrical space. DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 20 4.1.1 Bracket Assembly on the AirStrand 1300 1. Assemble the hanger clamp bracket (first verify the cable diameter, and select either the 6 mm or 8 mm hole configuration). AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide Figure 4: Hanger and Clamp Assembly Note: Different sized strand(s) may be accommodated when securing hanger bracket by rotating the notched clamp to the suitable hole size, as displayed below. Figure 5: Mounting Hanger Assembled DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 21 2. Assemble both strand brackets to the top of the unit. Inserting the 5/16-18 bolts (provided) into the threaded holes. Note: Assemble the brackets in the direction as shown in Figure 6 below. AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide Figure 6: Hanger Bracket Assembly on Unit 3. After assembly tighten down the bolts. 4. Orient the AirStrand 1300 to enable optimal positioning prior to placing on strand cable. 5. Lift assembled unit into place on the cable strand. Figure 7: Unit on Cable Strand DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 22 AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide 6. Secure the hanger bracket on the strand. 4.1.2 GPS Bracket Adjustment After the AirStrand 1300 is securely fastened on the strand cable, the GPS and its bracket should be extended for maximum efficiency. 1. Loosen the two (2) Hex Head Allen screws on the GPS slide, which is attached on the top of the slide bracket. Figure 8: GPS Bracket Adjustment 2. Extend the slide bracket. 3. Re-tighten the two (2) Hex Head Allen screws. DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 23 AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide 5 Connecting and Managing Cables 5.1 Connecting the Ground Cable Once the AirStrand 1300 is securely attached on the strand it is advisable to connect an approved ground cable. Connect the ground cable after attaching a grounding lug to the -20 threaded hole on the top of the AirStrand 1300 body, as shown below:

Figure 9: Ground Cable Connection Note: Cutting the Ground cable to the required length and crimping the grounding lug is performed by the Installer. Note: The threaded -20 ground hole is bare metal and needs no preparation. Note: The minimum cable gauge to be used for the ground wire is 9 AWG. 5.2 1300 Interface Connection Danger: Hazardous voltage! Before working, ensure that the power is off prior to performing any connections. 5.2.1 Connecting the CATV Cable Once the AirStrand 1300 is securely attached on the strand the installer should connect the CATV cable terminated with an RF connector to the F-type connector (factory installed) connected to the units connecting outlet. 1. Connect the CATV cable terminated with an RF connector to the F-type connector connected

(factory installed) to the units connecting outlet. Note: Supplied with F-type connector adapter but other connectors (i.e. stinger) are available if required. DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 24 Figure 10: Connect CATV Cable AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide Note: When securing the cable make sure there is no tension on the connector so that it is easy to disconnect and re-connect for future maintenance actions. 5.2.2 Accessing the Attenuator(s) and Test Port Note: Opening of the maintenance cover is done in order to change the attenuators or for connecting to a stinger connector (instead of the supplied connector). 1. Loosen the six (6) M4 screws that hold the maintenance cover in place. Note: The screws are secured to the cover and will not fall off. Figure 11: Removable Maintenance Cover 2. Open the removable maintenance cover and let it hang on the attached safety cable. Note: Access to Attenuator(s) and test port are available via the Maintenance cover, see Figure 12. DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 25 Figure 12: Maintenance Cover Open AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide Note: The test port is available for use to test required attenuation as needed. 5.2.3 Replacing the Maintenance Cover The following is the recommended procedure to set the maintenance cover in place and the correct pattern for tightening the screws to maintain proper weather proofing. Note: Verify that the gasket is seated fully within the groove encircling the opening before setting the cover in place. 1. Carefully place the maintenance cover (utilize the location pin) over the opening and hand tighten the six (6) M4 screws in place. 2. Tighten the screws in the following pattern in order to achieve proper pressure for optimal weather proofing. DUG01370-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 26 Figure 13: Screw Tightening Pattern AirStrand 1300 Installation Guide Tightening the screw in this pattern reduces the likelihood of the cover shifting and flexing, which could nullify the weather proofing. When youve tightened all the screws, go back through the pattern again with the torque screwdriver to ensure that every screw is tightened appropriately. Caution: Initially hand-tighten the six (6) M4 screws. Torque the screws to no more than a maximum of 17.70 in-lbs or 2 N.m using a Torque screwdriver.
