2. Installation Preparation 2.1 Supporting Materials Prepare accordingly the following supporting materials, given as Table 2-1. Table 2-1 Supporting Materials for Installing Base Station Name Description Power line < AWG16，e.g., AWG14 Shorter than 350m (1150 feet) Antenna feeder 50 ohm feeder Cable Outdoor CAT5, CAT5e Antenna Omnidirectional, or directional antenna Ground wire 16mm²yellow/green wire GPS GPS antenna, N type cable, and GPS mounting bracket 2.
2.3 Installation Environment 2.3.1 Locational Requirements Environments with high-temperature, harmful gases, unstable voltage, big vibration, high noise or exposed to flammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (large radar station, transmitting station, transformer substation) are not suitable for the operation of BRU3510, and thus should be avoided. Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also be avoided.
2.3.4 Grounding and Lightning Protection BRU3510 base station built-in lightning protection function. When the base station is installed, connect the grounding wire to ground, that is, connecting yellow-green ground wire to GND terminal of base station with screw. After installation, you should make some anti-corrosion and anti-rust measures, such as welding on tin. And the ground wire connects to the ground point. The ground wire is not smaller than 16 mm2, as short as possible, do not coil round.
3. Install Base Station 3.1 Installation Procedure BRU3510 base station as a wireless device, the rationality of installation directly influence the coverage effect of wireless signal. Therefore, the installation need to complete by professionals to meet the installation requirements. The installation procedure is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Installation procedure of BRU3510 3.
Figure 3-2 Install on Wall 2. Put the base station having installed mounting hook on the wall, mark the drilling locations, as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 Drilling Locations on Wall 3. Drill three holes on the wall of the size 12mm in diameter by following the locations marked. 4. Fix the base station on the wall using M10*80 expansion screws.
3.2.2 Install on Pole 1. Fix the mounting bracket with M6*16 screw on base station, as shown in Figure 3-4. Figure 3-4 Install Mounting Bracket on Base Station 2. Install mounting bracket on pole, as shown in Figure 3-5. Require the diameter of pole is 30mm~100mm. Figure 3-5 Install Mounting Bracket on Pole 3. Insert vertically the base station into mounting bracket on pole, fasten M6 fixed screw, and installation on pole is complete, as shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Installation on Pole Complete 3.2.3 Install Antenna Feeder System There are two kinds of outdoor antennas, omnidirectional outdoor antennas and directional outdoor antennas, which installation will be introduced in the following respectively. 3.2.3.1 Install Omnidirectional Antennas One should pay attention to the followings in the process of installing omnidirectional outdoor antenna: The diameter of the pole for omnidirectional outdoor antennas is required to be 35mm ~ 50mm.
Figure 3-7 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1) In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no metal object is allowed within 1m range in the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent lightening rod should be settled between two poles, where the lightening rod must be high enough to keep all antenna tops under its protection cover.
Figure 3-8 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (2) 3.2.3.2 Install Directional Antennas 1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-9. Figure 3-9 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas 2. Use pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the platform at the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-10. Working at heights should strictly follow the safety rules.
Figure 3-10 Transportation of the Antenna in the Height 3. Fix the pole vertically to the ground or concrete pillars on the rooftop using expansion screws, and fasten it with steel wires. Then, mount the directional outdoor antenna onto the pole using the installation rack, as shown in Figure 3-11. Figure 3-11 Directional Antenna Installation 4. Connect all cables and wires and fix them, when the base station has been installed in a proper position. 5.
3.2.3.3 Waterproof Protection Wrap the connections to protect with waterproof tapes and waterproof daub, as shown in Figure 3-12. Figure 3-12 Antenna Waterproofing Be aware that at least three layers of tapes are needed, and make sure that the wrapping direction of the last layer is from the bottom up. The last layer should be in suitable tightness to keep it from cracking and also for good looking. The overall appearance after the waterproof processing is shown in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-13 Antenna Waterproof Protection 3.2.3.4 Ground Protection The grounding terminal is a screw beside the feeder interface, as shown in Figure 3-14. One end of the ground wire connects to the grounding terminal of base station, the other end connects to the outdoor ground point. The connection need to be tin-soldered.
Ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm². Grounding principle: as near as possible. The connection of ground terminals and ground bar is need to be tightness and reliable. And the rustproof processing is needed, such as rust preventing paint, anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on. 3.2.4 (Optional) Install GPS Antenna Installation requirements on GPS antenna: GPS antenna must be installed vertically.
GPS antenna feeder connector is N type. 2. Pass one end of GPS antenna feeder through the support tube, connect it to the N type of GPS antenna, and then fasten the support tube on the GPS antenna. 3. Fix the support tube on the pole. 4. Fix the lower end of cable and support tube with ribbon or tape. 5. Fix cable on the pole, as shown in Figure 3-16. Figure 3-16 GPS Pole Installation 6. To avoid the connector getting loose causing by cable waggle, fix the cable on pole.
Figure 3-17 GPS Cable Fixing GPS antenna feeder should as short as possible to reduce the signal attenuation. 7. GPS connector connect to the base station, as shown in Figure 3-18. Figure 3-18 GPS Connector Connect to Base Station 8. Waterproofing measures need to be taken on GPS connector and GPS antenna connector, using the waterproof daub and waterproof tape, refer to 3.2.3.3 Waterproof Protection.
3.3 1. Connection Wire Connect antenna feeder. Connect two antenna feeders to ANT1 and ANT2 interface, connect GPS antenna feeder to GPS interface, the interfaces of the BRU3510 base station as shown in Figure 3-19. Figure 3-19 Connect Antenna Feeder 2. Connect Ethernet cable. Connect Ethernet cable to ETH0 interface of the base station, fix the cable on ETH0, and fasten the screw, as shown in Figure 3-20. Figure 3-20 Connect Ethernet Cable 3. Connect power cable.
Figure 3-21 Connect Power Cable 3.4 Power On Power on the BRU3510, and the indicators will light up, as shown in Figure 3-22. Figure 3-22 LED Indicator The explanation of the indicator signal is given in Table 3-1.
