2 Preparation of Installation 2.1 Site Survey Below chart shows general circle of mesh network deployment, and site surveyis is very important step in it to secure the solution works. All design aspects, such as site locations, site hunting, antenna height, antenna azimuth, antenna type, antenna downtilt degree, feeder length will be determined by site survey. The modification of solution could be done due to the availability of site is different with solution. 2.
Spectrum Scanner Telescope Spectrum Analyzer（Can be select） 2.3 The principle of site survey The principles of site survey of MESH networks are as: Mesh No obstacle in 60% of the 1st fresnel zone. It will secure LOS in most area and the coverage capability is secured and number of sites could be saved. 1.
MESH networks. Power availability, line access availability , permit of antenna installation are mandatory aspects to be considered in site survey. It is suggested to hunt more locations than actual needs that back-up sites can be used if the availability of some sites changed. Actual measuremet is suggested done for complex radio environment. The idea site should meet following requirement: minimum obstacles to the target coverage area from the antenna.
Measurement Tool Power Panel Template of Installation 2.6 Check before installation Check the complete of pole installation, the material of pole and its installation should comply related installation specification(Pole should be vertical, and grounding should be done, the diameter is around 40－60mm; Grounding is prepared already; Check the distance between MSR2000 and Grounding point; The cabling is mounted on wall or ceiling; Special installation material or tools are needed or not. 2.
3 Installation Antenna 1．Principles of height of antenna installation: The antennas height for a MSR2000 site could be different. It would be determined by the apace of installation, and some times it is because of network design; The antenna height for access could be 20meters in open and flat area of city.
The down-tilt angle should be well designed, too high down-tilt will impact antenna beam form, and have the negative impact of coverage; The design of down-tilt antenna angle should consider the output power, antenna height, target coverage area, radio environment, etc. It should be done after site survey. 3.1 Installation of directional antenna 1.1.
2. connect antenna and antenna bracket by tighting nuts Plese notic the adjustable bracket should installed in upper position, that are more felixible to adjust downtilt angles. 1.1.
1.1.8 Adjustment of Antenna Azimuth and Downtilt Tools needed: Inclinometer. Spanner, Compass, and Adjusting azimuth: 1． To measure the azimuth by compass; 2． Compare the difference between the actual azimuth with design value; 3． Slightly adjust azimuth to design value; 4． Measure the azimuth again to secure the difference less than 5 degree; 5． Fix the down U-bolt by screwdriver.
3.
3． Adjust antenna to secure it installed vertically; 4． Fasten the nuts by Spanner. Safety protection must be guaranteed when aloft work The installation should be done by experienced antenna installer. Power line and high electronic field must be avoided. Don’t stand on side of antenna of MSR2000 when MSR2000 is operating, there are strong electromagnetic field there when MSR2000 is operating. Don’t do any installation works during raining time.
4 Installation of MSR20000 Material package of MSR2000 installation includes: MSR2000 1 MSR2000 1 Solar shield 1 Installation Bracket 2 pipe holders (mounted on pole) 4 expansion bolts ( mounted on wall) 9 set of nuts for solar shield and bracket ( one set is backup)
4.1 Assembling of bracket with solar shield Tool: Spanner The procedure of assembling bracket with solar shield is as: 1． Connect bracket with solar shield by nuts; 2． Fasten nuts by Spanner; IF no solar shield, the temperature would be very high by sunlight.
4． Put MSR2000 into solar shield; 5． Connect MSR2000 with solar shield by nuts.
6． Fasten all nuts by Spanner. 4.2 MSR2000 installation 1.1.9 Install MSR2000 on Pole Tool: Straight Screwdriver. The procedure of installing MSR2000 on pole is: MSR2000: 1． Put pipe holder cross bracket; 2． Mount MSR2000 on pole; 3． Move MSR2000 to proper position; 4． Fix the MSR2000 by fasten pipe holder with screwdriver.
1.1.10 Install MSR2000 on Wall Tools needed: Mark pen, Percussion drill, Percussion Drill Hammer, and adjustable Spanner. The process of installing MSR2000 on a wall is as: 1． Put the bracket on the MSR2000 installation position and mark the 4 position of nut holes; 2． Drilling on the 4 mark positions; 3． Hit expansion bolts into wall; 4． Put MSR2000 on the expansion bolts; 5． Fasten nuts by Spanner. 1.1.
2． Un-mounted the screw of in the grounding terminal. 3． Put the copper ring into the grounding terminal. 4． Fasten the screw by Cross Screwdriver; 5． Connect the another side of grounding wire with grounding bar; 6． Daub butter on both side of grounding wire Grounding must not be skipped in the MSR2000 installation, and it must be finished before power on of MSR2000.The residence of grounding wire must be less than 5 ohm.
5 Installation of lightning protector The lightning protector is to protect MSR2000 to avoid damage by burst high current by lightning. Lighting protector should be installed between radio port and antenna feeders, and be connected with lightning system of the building as well. Lightning protector should be installed close to MSR2000. Tools needed: Paper knife, Pliers, Crimping Pliers, Cross Screwdriver, and Spanners.
The procedure of lightning protector installation is as: 1． Connect the lightning protector to radio port of MSR2000; 2． Fasten the lightning protector by Spanner; 3． Unpack the copper ring of grounding.
thicker feeder is recommended. The typical pass loss of 100 meters is listed in below table: Feeder type 3/8” Cable loss for 2.4GHz (dB/100m) 18.8 Cable loss for 5.8GHz (dB/dB/100m) 31.7 1/2” 12.8 21.4 7D 25.7 42.6 8D 24.8 41.3 Tools needed for feeder installation: adjustable Spanner, paper knife, Diagonal Pliers.
5． Fix the feeder on pole by black sheaf rope and don’t hang the feeder on the air; 6． Airproof the connectors by insulating tape and PVC insulating tape. 7 Installation of Ethernet cable Ethernet cable connects MSR2000 mesh network to line network, only gateway needs line connection. The performance of network cable should be less than100 meters to secure the good performance, so the length of Ethernet cable is suggested less than 50meters in MSR nodes planning.
2． Connect Ethernet cable terminal to MSR2000 Ethernet interface. 3． Plug the Ethernet cable emphatically into the MSR2000 Ethernet interface, and fasten the connection by circling the Ethernet terminal to the right direction. 4． Airproof the connection by insulating tape and PVC insulating tape. 8 Installation of power cable MSR2000 use 110-220V AC as power, the power interface is on the left and upper position of MSR2000. The cabling of antenna cable is introduced in chapter 2.3.
3． Airproof the connection by insulating Adhesive Tape and PVC insulating type; 4． Fix the power cable follow the pole and don’t let the power cable hang in the air. 5． Another side of power cable connects air switch. Installation of power cable must be done by experienced power cable installer, and read the installation manual before installation.
