2.3       Installation Environment

2.3.1 Locational Requirements

Environments with high-temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile
vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, and electromagnetic interference (large radar
stations, transmitting stations, transformer substations) are not suitable for the operation
of Nova-436, and thus should be avoided.

Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also
be avoided.

Factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation
should be taken into consideration in the construction process 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 station’s environmental requirements with regards to
temperature, humidity, and voltage.

Table 2-2 Environmental Requirements of the Base Station
                  Item                               Range                Typical value
Humidity                                   -40°C ~ 55°C             25°C
Relative humidity (no condensation)        0% ~ 100%                5% ~ 95%
Safety voltage                             42V ~ 58V                48V



2.4       Personnel Requirements
The installation personnel must master the basic safe operation knowledge, through the
training, and having the corresponding qualifications.


2.5       Against Lightening and Grounding Protection


       CAUTION:
       It is unlikely to happen but since the LTE base station is very sophisticated
       equipment so we would recommend you to test it on the ground to make sure
       everything is functioning before install on the tower.

                                                 9


Nova-436 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
The operator must prepare external against lightning protector to protect the GPS,
external antenna and RJ-45 port.

Grounding Notes:

    The ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm².

    Grounding principle: as near as possible.

    The base station connects to the reliable outdoor grounding point (earth) through
     one ground screw.

    The connection of the grounding points and the ground bar need to be tight and
     reliable. Rustproofing the terminals is required. This can be done with rust
     preventing paint, anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on.


2.6      Weatherproof Protection
The Nova-436 adopts cold shrink tube for weatherproof protection. Before installing the
cold shrink tube, clean up the interface first. The weatherproof protection steps are as
follows:

1.   Insert cable into cold shrink tube.

2.   Tighten the connector.

3.   Push the cold shrink tube to the top joint and pull out the strip.

4.   Check whether the cold shrink tube tight connect with the connection.

1.   Connect the Ethernet cable to ETH interface in the wiring cavity.

2.   Lay Ethernet cable along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from ETH
     hole.


3.6.6 Connect Power Connector

Because it is not sure that the distance between the installation site and the power
supply device, the two ends of power adapter are bare terminal end. The operators need
to make power cable according to the actual conditions on installation site, and assemble
power plug and power terminal on two ends of power adapter.

Strip 12mm insulating layer with wire stripper, which is used for connection to connector.
It is recommended that the power cord length is kept below 100m (330 feet).

The connection steps of power cable is as follows.

1.   Assemble power plug.

     The power plug will be installed on the end of input direction. Refer to the
     identification on power plug, connect live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire to
     corresponding terminals separately, and tighten screws.

2.   Assemble power terminal.

     The power terminal will be installed on the end of output direction. Refer to the
     following figure to connect live wire and neutral wire.




3.   Connect the power cable to PWR interface in the wiring cavity.

4.   The power cable lays along the lint slot, and stretch out the wiring cavity from PWR
     hole.

5.   The input of the power adaptor connects to the outlet.

Nova-436 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
         If the outlet is indoors, place the power adaptor indoors.

         If the outlet is outdoors, place the power adaptor in a water proof box.

6.   After the cable connection is complete in the wiring cavity, tighten the screws on the
     cover to close the wiring cavity using M4 cross screwdriver.


3.6.7 Connect Ground Cable

Make the grounding cable according the actual situation of the installation site.

The Nova-436 provides two grounding screws, which is located on the bottom of the
base station, as shown in Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3 Location of Grounding Screws




1.   Unscrew one grounding screw, connect one end of the grounding cable to the
     grounding screw, and fasten it again.

2.   The other end of the ground cable needs to connect to a good grounding point.


3.7       Install Antenna Feeder System
There are two kinds of outdoor antennas, omnidirectional outdoor antennas and
directional outdoor antennas, whose installation will be introduced in the following,
respectively.


3.7.1 Install Omnidirectional Antennas

One should pay attention to the followings while installing the omnidirectional outdoor
antenna:

    The diameter of the pole for omnidirectional outdoor antennas is required to be

                                              18


Nova-436 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
    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 within the 45 degrees safety angle towards the lightening
    rod, as shown in Figure 3-4. In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no
    metal object is allowed within 1m of the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional
    antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent
    lightening rod should be settled between the two poles, where the lightening rod
    must be high enough to keep all antennas under its protection cover.

                      Figure 3-4 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1)




In case is impossible to install an independent lightning rod due to environmental
limitations, the installation method shown in Figure 3-5 can be used. Be aware that the
pole supporting the lightening rod should be kept at least 1m away from the
omnidirectional outdoor antennas.
