Installation
Introduction
This chapter contains unpacking, inspection and installation instructions for installing and powering up
the WRH.
Site Survey
Powerwave recommends that a site survey be performed prior to equipment ordering or installation.
Performing a detailed site survey reduces or eliminates installation and turn-up delays. Pay particular
attention to power plant capacity, cooling needs, floor space, and RF/DC cabling/breaker
requirements. Cabinet dimensions, clearance dimensions, and weights are listed in Chapter 5.
Unpacking and Inspection
This equipment has been operated, tested, and calibrated at the factory. Carefully open containers to
remove equipment. Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event unit must be
returned to the factory. Perform the following steps:
• Visually inspect equipment for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If possi-
ble, in the presence of the delivery person.
• Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or
extraneous packing material in connectors.
If equipment is damaged, file a claim with the carrier once the extent of any damage is assessed.
If equipment must be returned to factory, please contact factory for a Return Material Authorization
(RMA). See Chapter 4.
WRH Location
The WRH is designed with a weather proof outdoor cabinet that can be mounted without any kind of
shelter from rain, snow or hail. The same unit can be installed indoors. A preferable site for the WRH
is a location free of obstructions, easily accessible and allows for proper air-flow and ventilation.
If a WRH is installed outdoor and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is essential that air can
circulate around the WRH with no obstacle. The operating temperature must not exceed 131°F
(55°C). A shelter can be used to shade the WRH from direct sunshine.
Never open a WRH when rain, snow, hail, high humidity or high winds are present unless some kind
of temporary shelter can be erected. Limitations for very bad weather are found in the next section.
Mounting
The WRH is easy to mount using the provided mounting bracket, which has 9/16-inch (14mm) holes
for 3/8-inch (10mm) or 1/2-inch (12mm) fixing screws. Clamps with C-C measures of 3.5-inch
(90mm), 5.3-inch (135mm), 5.7-inch (144mm), 8.1-inch (205mm), 9.8-inch (250mm), and 11.8-inch
(300mm) can be used as well. The vertical C-C measure for these are 16.2-inch (411mm). There is a
9/16-inch (14mm) single hole in the middle of the mounting bracket, marked ‘A’ in the figure, which is
intended for a locking screw to lock the bracket into place.
