2.4 Site Preparation

This section describes site preparation for installation and is presented only as a guideline for a

typical RAN installation.

2.4.1 Space Requirements

When an installation site for the RAN is selected, either on a utility pole or concrete pad, care

must be exercised to ensure that the site provides adequate space and clearance to accommodate

the current installation and any future upgrades. Table 17 gives RAN dimensions.

2.4.2 Power Requirements

Power must be available at the RAN site. The RAN requires 240 VAC, single phase, 20 Amps

service. Included with the power meter must be surge protection and circuit breakers.

The RAN can have up to three 1500 watt rectifiers. For the minimum specified voltage (176

VAC), each can draw up to 10 amps. The RAN will draw up to 1800 watts normally, but when

batteries are re-charging that amount will increase the current draw into a RAN to up to 16

Amps. Therefore, one 20 Amps service is required per four band RAN.
