Installation Prerequisites
Prior to installation, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
 Building recommendations – The quality of the building is of great importance if
you are to expect long life and continued performance from the Base Station. The
building must be clean, dry, temperature controlled and secure. Don’t forget to allow
space in the building for any additional racks to house test equipment, a workbench
area, line regulating transformers, ladders, equipment and parts storage, first aid kit,
emergency generator if uses, as well as heating and cooling devices that may be
unique to your installation. A sloping roof will tend to develop leaks less rapidly. The
building should be well roofed with good material. The cooling load will be lowered
with reflective or light colored roofing material. These requirements are not a
complete list, but are merely provided for your information.
 Physical rack space – Leave rack space of 30” depth x 90” height x 23.5” width.
Reserve door space of 30” in the front and in the back of the rack.
 Environmental conditions – The rack environment temperature should be kept
between 10 to 40 ºC. Humidity should be kept below 80%, non-condensed.
 Vibration – The BSR should be placed on a stable pedestal, to prevent vibration
from nearby equipment, such as generators.
