compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Nova-233 G2 (mBS1105) Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 2. Installation Preparation 2.1 Support Materials Prepare the following support materials accordingly, as given in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 Support Materials Item Description Power cable < AWG16 e.g. AWG14 Shorter than 100m Power plug The power plug connecting to the electricity supply.
2.3 Installation Environment 2.3.1 Locational Requirements Environments with high-temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, and electromagnetic interference (large radar stations, transmitting stations, transformer substations) are not suitable for the operation of Nova-233 G2, and thus should be avoided. Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also be avoided.
Figure 2-1 Installation Space Requirement 2.4 Personnel Requirements The installation personnel must master the basic safe operation knowledge, through the training, and having the corresponding qualifications. 2.5 Against Lightening and Grounding Protection CAUTION: It is unlikely to happen but since the LTE base station is very sophisticated equipment so we would recommend you to test it on the ground to make sure everything is functioning before install on the tower.
reliable. Rustproofing the terminals is required. This can be done with rust preventing paint, anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on. 2.6 Weatherproof Protection The Nova-233 G2 adopts cold shrink tube for weatherproof protection. Before installing the cold shrink tube, clean up the interface first. The weatherproof protection steps are as follows: 1. Insert cable into cold shrink tube. 2. Tighten the connector. 3. Push the cold shrink tube to the top joint and pull out the strip. 4.
Nova-233 G2 (mBS1105) Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3. Base Station Installation 3.1 Unpacking Before opening the box, make sure the package is in good condition, undamaged and not wet. During the unpacking, avoid potential damaging impacts from hits or excessive force. Once unpacked, check whether the quantity are consistent with the packing list. 3.2 Installation Procedure The installation procedure of Nova-233 G2 is given in Figure 3-1.
devices. Avoid interference from other transmitting antennas to the GPS antennas. Should be installed within 45 degrees to the lightning rod. The GPS has been assembled before packing, the only installation step is to fix the GPS mounting bracket on the base station using the M4 x 14 screws. 3.4 Install on Pole Required diameter of the pole: 40mm ~ 100mm. Suggest the installation height higher than 120cm, and the installation space requirements meet the requirements in “2.3.3 Space Requirements”.
3. As the following figure, hung the two pins on the base station bracket to the installation bracket, push the base station until the hook block to the base station bracket. 4. Tighten two screws on the top of the bracket using cross screwdriver to complete the installation.
3.5 Install on Wall The wall must bear four times of the base station’s weight. 1. Take apart the assembled installation bracket kit to get the installation bracket. 2. Fit the bracket on the wall, and mark the drilling locations. Caution: The arrow of the installation bracket must be upward. 3. Drill two 10mm diameter and 70mm depth holes in the wall on the marked locations, and insert the expansion pipes. 4.
The label should be paste after the cable laying. Optical fiber laying requirement: The circling and twisting is forbidden during the laying. The binding on the turning is forbidden. The pulling and weigh down the optical fiber is forbidden. The redundant optical fiber must enwind the dedicated device. Grounding laying requirement: The grounding cable must connect to the grounding point.
3. Lay optical fibers along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from OPT hole. The redundant fiber should wind neatly. 3.6.5 Connect Ethernet Cable 1. Connect the Ethernet cable to ETH interface in the wiring cavity. 2. Lay Ethernet cable along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from ETH hole. 3.6.
6. If the outlet is outdoors, place the power adaptor in a water proof box. After the cable connection is complete in the wiring cavity, tighten the screws on the cover to close the wiring cavity using M4 cross screwdriver. 3.6.7 Connect Ground Cable Make the grounding cable according the actual situation of the installation site. The Nova-233 G2 provides two grounding screws, which is located on the bottom of the base station, as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2 Location of Grounding Screws 1.
that the antenna top falls within the 45 degrees safety angle towards the lightening rod, as shown in Figure 3-3. In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no metal object is allowed within 1m of the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent lightening rod should be settled between the two poles, where the lightening rod must be high enough to keep all antennas under its protection cover.
3.7.2 Install Directional Antennas 1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-5. Figure 3-5 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas 2. To install it on the iron tower, use a pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the platform on the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-6. Following the safety rules when working at these heights. Figure 3-6 Transportation the Antennas in the Height 3.
Figure 3-7 Directional Antenna Installation 4. When the base station has been installed in a proper position, connect all the cables and wires. 5. Run tests, then seal and weatherproof all the connections after the testing has successfully completed. Refer to 2.6 Weatherproof Protection.
