Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also be avoided. In the construction process, factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation should be taken into consideration so that a proper location can be chosen to meet the communication engineering environmental requirements, as well as the technical requirements of network planning and communication equipment. 2.3.2 Environmental Requirements Table 2-2 gives the base stations environmental requirements on temperature, humidity, and voltage. Table 2-2 Environmental Requirements of the Base Station Item Range Typical value Humidity
-35~ 55 Relative humidity 0% ~ 100%
25 5% ~ 100%
(no condensation) Safety voltage
- 58V ~ -42V
-48V 2.3.3 Power Requirements BRU3510 base station adopts -48V DC power supply. For the safety and reliability of device, we have the following suggestions. Remote DC power supply, in general, AC power supply is 100V ~ 270V, the distance of AC power supply to the device is less than 30 meters. If the static exceeds a certain range, it will lead to great damage to the circuit and the whole device. 9 2.3.4 Grounding and Lightning Protection BRU3510 base station built-in lightning protection function. When the base station is installed, connect the grounding wire to ground, that is, connecting yellow-green ground wire to GND terminal of base station with screw. After installation, you should make some anti-corrosion and anti-rust measures, such as welding on tin. And the ground wire connects to the ground point. The ground wire is not smaller than 16 mm2, as short as possible, do not coil round. Figure 2-1 shows the grounding. Figure 2-1 Grounding and Lightning Protection 10 3. Install Base Station 3.1 Installation Procedure BRU3510 base station as a wireless device, the rationality of installation directly influence the coverage effect of wireless signal. Therefore, the installation need to complete by professionals to meet the installation requirements. The installation procedure is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Installation procedure of BRU3510 3.2 Installation Steps BRU3510 base station supports install on wall and install on pole, the following introduces each of them. 3.2.1 Install on Wall 1. Fix three mounting hooks on both ends of the base station with M6*16 screw, as shown in Figure 3-2. 11 Figure 3-2 Install on Wall 2. Put the base station having installed mounting hook on the wall, mark the drilling locations, as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 Drilling Locations on Wall 3. Drill three holes on the wall of the size 12mm in diameter by following the locations marked. 4. Fix the base station on the wall using M10*80 expansion screws. 12 3.2.2 Install on Pole 1. Fix the mounting bracket with M6*16 screw on base station, as shown in Figure 3-4. Figure 3-4 Install Mounting Bracket on Base Station 2. Install mounting bracket on pole, as shown in Figure 3-5. Require the diameter of pole is 30mm~100mm. Figure 3-5 Install Mounting Bracket on Pole 3. Insert vertically the base station into mounting bracket on pole, fasten M6 fixed screw, and installation on pole is complete, as shown in Figure 3-6. 13 Figure 3-6 Installation on Pole Complete 3.2.3 Install Antenna Feeder System There are two kinds of outdoor antennas, omnidirectional outdoor antennas and directional outdoor antennas, which installation will be introduced in the following respectively. 3.2.3.1 Install Omnidirectional Antennas One should pay attention to the followings in the process of installing omnidirectional outdoor antenna:
The diameter of the pole for omnidirectional outdoor antennas is required to be 35mm
~ 50mm. A typical case is to use the 50mm diameter round-steel-made pole (with details depending on the specific antenna type). Make sure that the top of pole and the clamp beneath the antenna are at the same level, after installing the omnidirectional outdoor antenna on the pole. Make sure that the antenna is high enough to meet the coverage requirement, and that, the antenna top falls in the safety angle of 45 degrees towards the lightening rod, as shown in Figure 3-7. 14 Figure 3-7 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1) In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no metal object is allowed within 1m range in the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent lightening rod should be settled between two poles, where the lightening rod must be high enough to keep all antenna tops under its protection cover. In case that an independent lightning rod is impossible due to environmental limitation, the installation method as shown in Figure 3-8 can be adopted. Be aware that the pole supporting the lightening rod should be kept from the omnidirectional outdoor antennas for at least 1m away. 15 Figure 3-8 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (2) 3.2.3.2 Install Directional Antennas 1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-9. Figure 3-9 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas 2. Use pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the platform at the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-10. Working at heights should strictly follow the safety rules. 16 Figure 3-10 Transportation of the Antenna in the Height 3. Fix the pole vertically to the ground or concrete pillars on the rooftop using expansion screws, and fasten it with steel wires. Then, mount the directional outdoor antenna onto the pole using the installation rack, as shown in Figure 3-11. Figure 3-11 Directional Antenna Installation 4. Connect all cables and wires and fix them, when the base station has been installed in a proper position. 5. Do testing, and seal all the connections for waterproof protection after the testing is passed. 17 3.2.3.3 Waterproof Protection Wrap the connections to protect with waterproof tapes and waterproof daub, as shown in Figure 3-12. Figure 3-12 Antenna Waterproofing Be aware that at least three layers of tapes are needed, and make sure that the wrapping direction of the last layer is from the bottom up. The last layer should be in suitable tightness to keep it from cracking and also for good looking. The overall appearance after the waterproof processing is shown in Figure 3-13. 18 Figure 3-13 Antenna Waterproof Protection 3.2.3.4 Ground Protection The grounding terminal is a screw beside the feeder interface, as shown in Figure 3-14. One end of the ground wire connects to the grounding terminal of base station, the other end connects to the outdoor ground point. The connection need to be tin-soldered. Figure 3-14 Grounding Protection Note about grounding as follows:
19 Ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm. Grounding principle: as near as possible. The connection of ground terminals and ground bar is need to be tightness and reliable. And the rustproof processing is needed, such as rust preventing paint, anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on. 3.2.4 (Optional) Install GPS Antenna Installation requirements on GPS antenna:
GPS antenna must be installed vertically. To avoid the influence of reflected wave, GPS antenna should keep away from surrounding metal objects more than 1.5 meters. No major blocking from buildings in the vicinity. Keep the rooftop buildings a distance away from the GPS. Make sure the space atop within 90 degrees (at least 45 degrees in the south) is not blocked by any buildings. Avoid installing the GPS in the vicinity of any other transmitting and receiving devices. Avoid interference from other transmitting antennas to the GPS antennas. Should be installed within 45 degrees to the lightning rod. Mounting bracket and pole of GPS antenna must be grounding well. Multiple GPS antenna installs at a distance of 2 meters above. GPS antenna installation steps as follows:
1. Prepare items for the GPS antenna installation, as shown in Figure 3-15. Figure 3-15 GPS Antenna Parts The recommendation type of GPS antenna is LMR 400 GPS antenna feeder. GPS working frequency band is L1: 1575.42MHz 1.023MHz. 20 GPS antenna feeder connector is N type. 2. Pass one end of GPS antenna feeder through the support tube, connect it to the N type of GPS antenna, and then fasten the support tube on the GPS antenna. 3. Fix the support tube on the pole. 4. Fix the lower end of cable and support tube with ribbon or tape. 5. Fix cable on the pole, as shown in Figure 3-16. Figure 3-16 GPS Pole Installation 6. To avoid the connector getting loose causing by cable waggle, fix the cable on pole. The cable and the pole should be fixed reserving a certain margin (10 cm or more), preventing cable shrink due to temperature reduction in winter, as shown in Figure 3-17. 21 Figure 3-17 GPS Cable Fixing GPS antenna feeder should as short as possible to reduce the signal attenuation. 7. GPS connector connect to the base station, as shown in Figure 3-18. Figure 3-18 GPS Connector Connect to Base Station 8.
