This system is designed to be operated indoors as a fixed system

device and must be located either on or near the ceiling away from the

user. It must be mounted in a manner to ensure that all users and

bystanders and users are kept a minimum of 20cm away from

antennas at all times.

Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or

receiving. Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the

antenna is very close to or touching any exposed parts of the body,

especially the face or eyes while transmitting.

In most parts of the world, regulatory approval(s) are needed before

the nanoBTS is operated.

Do not connect any device other than the nanoBTS to any RJ45 socket

that has been enabled for nanoBTS connection (i.e. 48Vdc operation).

The nanoBTS is intended for dry indoor applications only. If evidence of condensation is present do not apply power to the nanoBTS. The cabling to the nanoBTS and power supply is to run indoors only. The nanoBTS must only be powered using a PSU supplied by ip.access; the approved part is APC model PSU109 with UL file number E231617. PSUs supplied by ip.access must not be used for powering any other equipment. The external antenna ports are not covered by this products UL approval. 1.

1.5 Fitting the External Antenna Kit (optional) NOTE: When looking at the nanoBTS with the connections facing down and the LED visible the antenna on the left is the Transmit antenna and the antenna on the right hand side is the Receive antenna. NOTE: The RF feeder cable must not be bent as this may result in a degraded performance. Remove the plastic covers by removing the top and bottom plates from both ends of the nanoBTS. Lever gently apart with screwdriver in notch.

Fit the replacement antenna cover body ensuring that the feeder cable connector fits into the antenna. Note that one cover only fits the receiver whilst the other fits the transmitter. Fit the clamp as shown below and second Torx screw, then replace top and bottom covers.

1.7 Cabling the nanoBTS Figure 8 - nanoBTS Connections 1.7.1 Ethernet Each nanoBTS must be connected to an Ethernet switch or hub via either a 109 ip.access single power inserter or 126 ip.access Powered Ethernet Switch. Refer to CENG0033 for details of the power supply connections. 1.7.2 Timing Interface Bus (TIB) – Multi-TRX only The Timing Interface Bus (TIB) is used to provide clock and signaling between the nanoBTS when operating in a Multi-TRX configuration.

1.7.3 Earth Strap – Multi-TRX only When the nanoBTS is operated in a Multi-TRX configuration, each of the nanoBTS must be connected together using the supplied earth kit. To fit the earth strap, remove the nanoBTS from the mounting plate Using the screw provided, screw the Earth Strap to the stud on the rear of the nanoBTS, see Figure 10 - Earth Stud. Earth Stud Figure 10 - Earth Stud Connect the other end of the Earth lead to the next nanoBTS Earth stud in the chain. © ip.

1.8 Mounting the nanoBTS The location of each nanoBTS is shown on the installation floor plan produced at the network planning stage. The network wiring must be complete before the nanoBTS can be installed and commissioned. The nanoBTS should be placed on a wall at or above head height or on a ceiling.

Locking Spring 1 TOP 2 Figure 13 - Mounting the nanoBTS When fixing to a ceiling or a sloping wall the same fixing process and clearances should be observed as for fixing to a wall (at least 80mm from the bracket to the top of wall and 120mm from the side of the bracket to a side wall). On a sloping surface the top of the bracket MUST be uppermost.

1.9 Initial Frequency Calibration NOTE: The nanoBTS must be powered on for a minimum of 24 hours prior to final frequency calibration. It is recommended that during installation an initial, local calibration is made following a powered on time of > 10 minutes followed by a final operational calibration after 24 hours power on time. NOTE: If the nanoBTS is used in a Multi-TRX configuration, then the TIB OUT must be disconnected from each nanoBTS in the chain prior to calibration and reconnected afterwards.
