4. Installation – General Notes
4.1. General Remarks
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet in
Appendix B. This will help both the installation personnel and Axell Wireless should these figures be
needed for future reference or diagnosis.
The procedure for installing and commissioning an Axell Wireless Wall Mount BDA is generally as
follows:
1. Secure the BDA in the chosen wall position.
2. Connect the optical cable to the optical port inside the BDA
3. Fix the antenna and connect its cables to the BDA antenna ports.
4. Connect a suitable mains or battery power supply to the BDA
5. Switch the equipment mains on with the small switch located inside the BDA on the lower right
hand side of the case.
6. If Base Station signal is available, make test calls via the BDA to ensure correct operation, if
possible monitoring the signal levels during these calls to ensure that the uplink and downlink
RF levels are as anticipated.
4.2. Electrical Connections
It is recommended that the electrical mains connection is made by a qualified electrician, who must be
satisfied that the supply will be the correct voltage and of sufficient capacity.
All electrical and RF connections should be completed and checked prior to power being applied for
the first time.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
4.3. RF Connections
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 equipment, damage to the equipment will be done if the base station transmitter is then keyed.
4.4. Optical Connections
The optical input and output port is supplied with a green plastic cover, which must be removed prior
to the connection of the fibre cable. Ensure that transmitter and receiver fibre cable are identified to
prevent misconnection. At the master site, the fibre transmitters are in the downlink path with the
receivers in the uplink. At the remote sites the fibre transmitters are in the uplink with the receivers in
the downlink.
Always ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
