Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide operation. Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 2. Installation Preparation 2.1 Support Materials Prepare the following support materials accordingly, as given in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 Support Materials for Installing Base Station Item Description Power cable < AWG16 e.g.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 2.3 Installation Environment 2.3.1 Locational Requirements Environments with high-temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, and electromagnetic interference (large radar stations, transmitting stations, transformer substations) are not suitable for the operation of Nova-436Q, and thus should be avoided.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide The operator must prepare external against lightning protector to protect the GPS, external antenna and RJ-45 port. Grounding Notes: The ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm². Grounding principle: as near as possible. The base station connects to the reliable outdoor grounding point (earth) through one ground screw. The connection of the grounding points and the ground bar need to be tight and reliable.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3. Base Station Installation 3.1 Unpacking Before opening the box, make sure the package is in good condition, undamaged and not wet. During the unpacking, avoid potential damaging impacts from hits or excessive force. Once unpacked, check whether the quantity are consistent with the packing list. 3.2 Installation Procedure The installation procedure of Nova-436Q is given in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Installation Procedure of Nova-436Q 3.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide devices. Avoid interference from other transmitting antennas to the GPS antennas. Should be installed within 45 degrees to the lightning rod. The GPS has been assembled before packing, the only installation step is to fix the GPS mounting bracket on the base station with the M4*14 screws, as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2 Install GPS Antenna 3.4 Install on Pole Required diameter of the pole: 40mm ~ 100mm.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3. As the following figure, hung the two pins on the base station bracket to the installation bracket, push the base station until the hook block to the base station bracket. 4. Tighten two screws on the top of the bracket using cross screwdriver to complete the installation.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3.5 Install on Wall The wall must bear four times of the base station weight. 1. Take apart the assembled installation bracket kit to get the installation bracket 2. Fit the installation bracket on the wall, and mark the drilling locations. Caution: The arrow of the installation bracket must be upward. 3. Drill two 10mm diameter and 70mm depth holes in the wall by following the marked locations. 4.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide The label should be paste after the cable laying. Optical fiber laying requirement: The circling and twisting is forbidden during the laying. The binding on the turning is forbidden. The pulling and weigh down the optical fiber is forbidden. The redundant optical fiber must enwind the dedicated device. Grounding laying requirement: The grounding cable must connect to the grounding point.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3. Lay optical fibers along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from OPT hole. The redundant fiber should wind neatly. 3.6.5 Connect Ethernet Cable 1. Connect the Ethernet cable to ETH interface in the wiring cavity. 2. Lay Ethernet cable along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from ETH hole. 3.6.

After the cable connection is complete in the wiring cavity, tighten the screws on the cover to close the wiring cavity using M4 cross screwdriver. 3.6.7 Connect Ground Cable Make the grounding cable according the actual situation of the installation site.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide Make sure that the top of pole and the clamp beneath the antenna are at the same level, after installing the omnidirectional outdoor antenna on the pole. Make sure that the antenna is high enough to meet the coverage requirement, and that the antenna top falls within the 45 degrees safety angle towards the lightening rod, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Nova-436Q Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide Figure 3-5 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (2) 3.7.2 Install Directional Antennas 1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-6. Figure 3-6 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas 2. To install it on the iron tower, use a pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the platform on the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-7. Following the safety rules when working at these heights.
