AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide 5 Install AirSynergy Install the AirSynergy eNodeB by pole mount, wall mount, or single point. The AirSynergy unit can be connected to various types of antennas via standard RF coaxial cables. Antennas should be positioned with 10 wavelengths horizontal separation to give optimal Downlink and Uplink MIMO performance. AirSynergy is normally mounted on a pole (in close proximity to its external antenna when not using the AirSynergy front mounted Antenna).
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Figure 12 – press down locking mechanism 4. Align and position each of the 2 pole clamps. Tighten the clamp bands with large flat screwdriver in place. Figure 13 – tighten clamp bands 5. Mounting plate is installed and ready for AirSynergy mounting. Figure 14 – mounting plate installed on large diameter pole 5.2 Wall Mount Assembly The following images show the wall mount assembly. 1. Position mounting plate against the wall with slots facing up.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Figure 15 - positioning wall mounting plate 2. Mark the wall through the holes on the wall mount at the required height. 3. Attach the mounting plate to the wall using wall plugs (x4) rated for at least 8-10 Kg per fastener. Figure 16 - wall mounting plate fastened on wall Note: Wall plugs (x4) and necessary hardware are not supplied by Airspan and are the responsibility of the installer. Recommended minimum 8mm dia.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Note: When a front mounted antenna is not attached to the unit (remote antenna) a Sun-shield should be attached. Variants utilizing remotely attached antennas come factory pre-assembled with a sunshield. To mount the front antenna, perform the following: 1. Fit the antenna to the (antenna) mounting plate.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Fasteners should be weather and UV resistant. Cables should have some slack for thermal expansion/contraction between fastenings. An 80cm cable (supplied with GPS antenna kit) connects the GPS directly to the AirSynergy connecter, on the bottom panel.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Figure 20 - Attaching the GPS antenna assembly to AirSynergy Caution: Attach the GPS bracket in the displayed position only, so as not to restrict the airflow in any way. 5.5 Securing AirSynergy to the Mounting Plate Note: the following procedure can also be performed with the Front-Mount antenna variants exactly as shown below. To mount AirSynergy to the universal mounting plate, perform the following: 1.

AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide 6 Connect and Manage Cables 6.1 Connecting the Ground Cable There is an option to connect a ground cable to the M6 screw threaded connection at the bottom of the main body casting. This should be connected to a protection ground bar or clamped directly to the steel structure of the power or pole. This is required in areas of high lightning activity or when the AirSynergy unit is mounted on high exposed roofs or tower structures.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide 6.2 Connecting RF Jumper Cables to External Antenna 1. Attach, connect and secure the RF cable between the external antenna and the appropriate RF connection on the top of the unit. Figure 29 - Connecting RF cable Caution: Do not over-tighten the RF connector. RF failures can result when the RF connector is over-tightened. Figure 30 - weather-proof the connection - external antenna 2. Weather-proofing of the RF N type connections is recommended.
