4. INSTALLATION
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet in
Appendix A. This will help both the installation personnel and AFL should these figures be
needed for future reference or diagnosis.
4.1 General Remarks
The size and weight of the equipment racks mean that they represent a significant topple hazard
unless they are bolted to the floor though the mounting holes in the base of the unit. In the
interests of safety this should be done before any electrical, RF, or optical connections are
made.
The equipment must be located on a flat, level surface that is made from a material suitable for
bearing the weight of the rack assembly. If the installer is in any doubt about the suitability of a
site it is recommended that he consult with an appropriately qualified Structural Engineer.
It is important in determining the location of the rack within the room that space is allowed for
access to the front and rear of the equipment. To enable maintenance to be carried out, the
doors must be able to fully open.
The location must be served with a duct to allow the entry of cables into the rack.
The mains power supply is connected to the terminal strip located on the bulkhead at the rear of
the equipment at floor level. It is recommended that the connection is made by a qualified
electrician, who must satisfy himself that the supply will be the correct voltage and of sufficient
capacity.
All electrical and RF connection should be completed and checked prior to power being
applied for the first time.
4.2 RF Connections
All RF connections are made to the cable termination, located on the bulkhead at the rear of the
equipment at floor level. Care must be taken to ensure that the correct connections are made
with particular attention made to the base station TX/RX ports. In the event that the base
transmitter is connected to the RX output of the rack, damage to the equipment will be done if
the base station transmitter is then keyed.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
