3.2.5 Power

Ensure that a DC power source is available that can supply full power

requirements for both the MCSC system cabinet and all ancillary equipment

(including a heater) for the installation. This power source may be a bulk DC

power source, or an external DC powerplant. Backup batteries may or may not be

required, depending on whether or not the powerplant is driven from an

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Refer to standards for DC power design.

Any installation of AC power conductors shall be done by a licensed, bonded and

insured electrician. Follow standard design practices for AC and DC power circuits

including any required AC surge protection. Identify any contract labor and

materials required.

Refer to Chapter 2 (Specifications) for DC power requirements. Plan to use

termination lugs. Type is Panduit 2-hole, P/N LCD6-14A, or equivalent. Required

crimp tool is CT-1700.

3.2.6 Grounding

The MCSC system cabinet must be grounded to either a defined equipment

grounding system in a facility or to the building grounding electrode in a customer

facility. Plan to install a grounding system for the MCSC system cabinet and

ancillary hardware. Refer to Chapter 7 and Appendix C of Motorola R56, as

modified , for grounding standards. The Master Ground Bar (MGB) will be

installed on the wall on the telco board. Plan to use termination lugs. Type is

Panduit 2-hole, P/N LCD6-14A, or equivalent. Required crimp tool is CT-1700.

3.2.7 GPS Antennas

Refer to the Motorola Gen 3 Site Controller System Manual, 68P80801E30-O

document and standards for GPS antenna design and installation. Per the NEC

(1) any cabling run through an air plenum shall be plenum-rated, and (2) cabling is

not to be laid on or suspended from any ceiling grid or attached to the grid

supports. Identify any contract labor and materials required.

3.2.8 T1 Service

Install T1 cabling from the point of demarcation to the MCSC system cabinet, and

provide UL497B surge protection for the T1 circuit involved. Use standard -

approved surge arrestors for the T1 circuit. Per the NEC (1) any cabling run

through an air plenum shall be plenum-rated, and (2) cabling is not to be laid on or

suspended from any ceiling grid or attached to the grid supports. Identify any

contract labor and materials required to extend the T1 service from the

demarcation point to the MCSC system cabinet. For ease of maintenance,

RadioFrame Networks recommends locating the demarcation point (SmartJack)

in the same space as the MCSC system cabinet.

Refer to the Motorola Gen 3 Site Controller System Manual, 68P80801E30-O

document and standards for T1 design and installation.
