1-6 Introduction Base/Control Stations
1.3 Base/Control Stations
If the mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a
fixed unit, the radio and antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to
ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards
and guidelines listed in the Safety Booklet (Motorola publication part number 68P81095C99_)
provided with the radio:
• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible and
the antenna cable should be earth grounded.
• The radio chassis must be earth grounded and a lightning surge protector should be used in
line with the radio connector and the outdoor antenna. The lightning surge protector should be
earth grounded and located at the point where the antenna cable enters the building.
• The line voltage power supply must have a proper ground connection.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the
site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Also, additional compliance actions
such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions may be required in
order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
Figure 1-7 shows a typical setup of a Base/Control Station configuration.
Figure 1-7 Example of a Base/Control Station Configuration
For outdoor antenna installations, proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important.
Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent damage to the radio equipment.
Refer to Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation Manual R56 (which can be
obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83) for complete information regarding lightning protection.
