AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide 4 Before Installation of AirHarmony-1000 Prior to installation of the AirHarmony either on a pole or a wall the GPS antenna should be connected and the all antenna connections should be weather-proofed. 4.1 Connection of GPS Antenna The following defines the connection of the GPS antenna which is installed directly to the top of the unit. 1. Remove the protective dust cap from the GPS antenna jack prior to mounting on the AirHarmony-1000. 2.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 7: Verify connection of RF cable Caution: Do not over-tighten the RF connector. RF failures can result when the RF connector is over-tightened. Figure 8: Weather-proof the connection 2. Weather-proofing of the connections is mandatory. This is done with a layer of selfamalgamating tape followed by an over layer of PVC tape. Both the self-amalgamating tape and the PVC tape are available from Airspan. 3. Verify the RF connector is completely weather-proof.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide 5 Installing AirHarmony-1000 Install the AirHarmony-1000 eNodeB by pole mount or wall mount. AirHarmony-1000 is mounted on a pole or wall with its pre-installed antenna (front mount or SBA variants (pending)) or in close proximity to its external antenna (connectorized variant). Take care to install the mounting plate the correct way up. This is with the slot openings in the bracket at the top edges as shown below.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 10: Mounting plate on pole 3. Position mounting plate on the pole with slots facing up. 4. Feed clamp bands through the quick release locking mechanisms and wrap around pole. Figure 11: Assemble clamp bands (4 required) 5. Wrap the band to properly fit on the pole. Press down locking mechanism with band excess fed through the mechanism. Figure 12: Press down locking mechanism 6. Align and position each of the 4 pole clamps.

AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 15: Mounted on pole 5.1.1 Installing AirHarmony-1000 Back-to-Back In the event you want to deploy two (2) AirHarmony-1000(s) on the same pole – back-to-back, then the installation must be performed so that the clamp bands used to secure the units to the pole do not interfere with the clamp bands of the other unit. Each unit is installed separately as explained above in Installing AirHarmony-1000.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 16: Back-2-Back Assembly The difference in height between the installed units after installation will be 40mm. Note: The Universal Mounting plate for each AirHarmony-1000 must be mounted on the pole prior to assembling the AirHarmony-1000 units. Assemble each unit’s AC/DC Converter as explained in AC/DC Converter Pole Mount Assembly with the same deviation of the clamp bands. 5.2 Wall Mount Assembly The following images show the wall mount assembly. 1.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 17: Positioning wall mounting plate 2. Mark the wall through the holes on the wall mount at the required height. 3. Attach the mounting plate to the wall using wall plugs (x4) rated for at least 8-10 Kg per fastener. Figure 18: Wall mounting plate fastened on wall Note: Wall plugs (x4) and necessary hardware are not supplied by Airspan and are the responsibility of the installer. Recommended minimum 8mm dia.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide 5.3 Securing AirHarmony-1000 to the Mounting Plate Note: The following procedure shown with the Front-Mount antenna variant as shown below. To mount AirHarmony-1000 to the mounting plate, perform the following: 1. Loosely fit the flange nuts on the studs protruding from the sides of the unit. Figure 19: Lift unit to top of mounting plate 2. Hook the studs into the top slots of the mounting plate. Figure 20: unit engages into slots on the top of mounting plate 3.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 21: AirHarmony-1000 unit engaged into the bottom slots 4. Tighten the flange nuts (4 places) to the required degree of down-tilt. 5. Check and tighten all flange nuts. 5.4 Front Mount Antenna Tilt Adjustment On the Front Mount Antenna variant it is possible, after assembly to adjust the front mounted antenna tilt-down. There are adjustment slots located on the sides of unit body and on the sides of the front mounted antenna mounting plate.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 23: Tilt adjustment antenna 3. After adjusting to the required tilt amount tighten both flange nuts and both screws. The antenna has an electrical fixed down-tilt of 1°. 5.5 LED Display A single tri-color LED (Green/Red/Orange) appears at the bottom of the unit, providing unit status indication.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Note: Prior to insertion apply No-Ox or other approved anti-oxidation agent. This ground cable should be connected to a protection ground bar or clamped directly to a steel structure. A direct earth ground connection is required for the surge protection devices inside the AirHarmony-1000 to be effective. 1. Remove grounding screw and slip the ring terminal end of the ground cable onto the screw prior to re-setting into the threaded hole.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Note: When installing a protection ground take care to use suitable metal combinations to avoid or minimize galvanic corrosion. 5.7 Installing AC/DC Converter The AC/DC power converter kit can be optionally supplied by Airspan. The kit includes the following: AC/DC power converter with cables on both AC and DC side. The DC side comes preconnected to the AirHarmony-1000 DC plug and the AC side arrives with 3 bare wires.

AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide 6.2 Wiring AC Power Cable on the AC/DC Converter Advice: It is good practice to label both ends of the cable to identify which AirHarmony1000 unit it is connected to. Advice: It is good practice to leave a spare loop of cable (approximately 0.5m). This will allow for easier wiring and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future. Note: This is a waterproof connection therefore the use of die-electric gels is not required.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide 5. Secure the prepared ends of the power cable into the head part of the connector (male part with visible pins). Figure 41: Secure cable to connector 6. Insert and secure the brown wire into position 1 and the blue wire into position 2 and green wire into position (earth ground). Figure 42: Power cable wires assembled Note: Individual connection numbers are marked on each part of the connector. Note: Set screw maximum recommended tightening torque of 0,3 Nm.
AirHarmony-1000 Installation Guide Figure 44: Assemble and tighten 6.3 Wiring AC Power Input Cable 1. Cut the AC power cable to the required length. 2.
