June 2007 6816814H01 viii Commercial Warranty Notes June 2007 6816814H01 Chapter 1 Pre-Installation Considerations Proper installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the MOTOTRBO Repeater. Pre-installation planning is required. This includes considering the mounting location of the repeater in relation to input power and antennas. Also to be considered are site environment conditions, the particular mounting method (several available), and required tools and equipment. If this is the first time this type of equipment is being installed, it is highly recommended that the user read:
this entire installation section before beginning the actual installation, and the Motorola Quality Standard Fixed Network Equipment Installation manual, R56
(6881089E50), specifically refer to the information on ground connection for lightning protection. 1.1 Installation Overview The following information is an overview for installing the MOTOTRBO Repeater and ancillary equipment. Step-by-step procedures for each of the major installation tasks are then provided beginning in Section 2, Mechanical Installation. Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental condition at the site, ventilation requirements, and grounding and lightning protection. Unpack and inspect the equipment. Mechanical install the equipment at the site. Make necessary electrical and cabling connections, including the following:
- AC input cabling
- Coaxial cables to transmit and receive antennas Perform a post-installation function checkout test of the equipment to verify proper installation. Proceed to the Optimization procedures to customize the repeater parameters per customer specifications (e.g. operating frequency, PL, codes, color code, etc.). 1.2 Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site
C a u t i o n If the repeater is to be installed in an environment which is usually dusty or dirty (and so does not meet the air quality requirements), the air used to cool the repeater modules must be treated using appropriate filtering devices. Dust or dirt accumulating on the internal circuit boards and modules is not easily removed, and can cause such malfunctions as overheating and intermittent electrical connections. The repeater may be installed in any location suitable for electronic communications equipment, provided that the environmental condition do not exceed the equipment specifications for temperature, humidity, and air quality. 1.2.1 Operating Temperature Range
-30C (-22F) to +60C (+140F) This is the temperature measured in close proximity to the repeater. For example, if the repeater is mounted in a cabinet, the temperature within the cabinet is measured. 1-2 1.2.2 Humidity Pre-Installation Considerations Equipment Ventilation Not to exceed 95% relative humidity @ 50C (122F). 1.2.3 Air Quality 1.3 For equipment operating in an environmentally controlled environment with repeater(s) rack mounted, the airborne particle level must not exceed 25 g/m. For equipment operating in an area which is not environmentally controlled (repeater(s) cabinet mounted), air borne particle level must not exceed 90 g/m. Equipment Ventilation The repeater is equipped with a cooling fan that is used to provide forced convection cooling. When planning the installation, observe the following ventilation guidelines:
Customer-supplied cabinets must be equipped with ventilation slots or openings in the front (for air entry) and back or side panels (for air to exit). If several repeaters are installed in a single cabinet, be sure ventilation openings surround each repeater to allow for adequate cooling. All cabinets must have a least 15 cm (6 inches) of open space between the air vents and any wall or other cabinets. This allows adequate air flow. When multiple cabinets (each equipped with several repeaters) are installed in an enclosed area, make sure the temperature within each cabinet does not exceed the recommended/
maximum operating temperature of +16C (+140F). It may be necessary to have air conditioning or other climate control equipment installed to satisfy the environmental requirements. 1.4 AC Input Power Requirements The repeater is equipped with a switching power supply, this assembly operates from 100Vac to 240Vac at 47 to 63Hz AC input power. A standard 3-prong line cord is supplied to connect the power supply to the AC source. It is recommended that a standard 3-wire grounded electrical outlet be used as the AC source.
C a u t i o n The AC socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible. The outlet must be connected to an AC source capable of supplying a maximum of 280W. For a nominal 110/120Vac input, the AC source must supply 5A and should be protected by circuit breaker rated at 15A. For a nominal 220/240Vac input, the AC source must supply 3A and should be protected by a circuit breaker rated at 10A. 1.4.1 Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Equipment Mounting Methods The MOTOTRBO Repeater may be mounted in a rack, bracket or cabinet (available as accessories). 1.5 June 2007 6816814H01 Pre-Installation Considerations Site Grounding and Lightning Protection 1-3 1.6 Site Grounding and Lightning Protection
C a u t i o n Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important consider-
ation. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent damage to the radio equipment. One of the most important considerations when designing a communications site is the ground and lightning protection system. While proper grounding techniques and lightning protection are closely related, the general category of site grounding may be divided into the following section. 1.6.1 Electrical Ground Ground wires carrying electrical current from circuitry or equipment at the site is included in the category of electrical ground. Examples include the AC or DC electrical power used to source equipment located at the site, and wires or cables connected to alarms or sensors located at the site. 1.6.2 RF Ground This type of ground is related to the transmission of the radio frequency energy to earth ground. An example of RF grounding is the use of shielding to prevent or at least minimize the leakage of unwanted RF transmissions from communications equipment and cables. 1.6.3 Lightning Ground Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communications site. RF transmission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy from entering the site building. Although a comprehensive coverage of the site grounding technique and lightning protection is not within the scope of this instruction manual, there are several excellent industry sources for rules and guidelines on ground and lightning protection at communications site. NOTE: Motorola recommends the following reference source:
Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation Manual R56.........................................6881089E50 1.6.4 Equipment Grounding Guidelines The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear of the repeater power supply module. This screw is used to connect the repeater to the site ground point. It is assumed that all antenna cables, and AC or DC power cabling, has been properly grounded and lightning protected by following the rules and guidelines provided in the above reference. Power Supply Connections Refer to 4.1.1 AC Input Power Connection on page 4-1 for the recommended AC input power connection and to 4.1.2 Ground Connection on page 4-2 for the recommended ground connection. 1.7 June 2007 6816814H01
