MM-009290-001 5. SITE PREPARATION 5.1 BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION Before beginning an installation, collect information from the Site Deployment Order (SDO) specific to the site access such as: • Permission to access the site. • Important contact names and telephone numbers. • Location of and directions to the site. • Keys and/or lock combinations to access the site and equipment shelter (if any), or points of contact to obtain them.
MM-009290-001 • The installed power meter must be rated at 200 amps minimum. For pole-mount installations, the meter is normally installed 90 degrees from the Cell Site base station cabinet, and 90 degrees from the SkyCharger battery backup system cabinet. When facing the pole with the Cell Site cabinet on the left and the SkyCharger cabinet on the right, the power meter is located on the far side of the pole. Power meter egress conduit type, size and related wiring should meet all local building codes.
MM-009290-001 Like AC power installations methods, a DC power installation methods must conform to all applicable local installation regulations and/or local building codes. 5.3.4 If the SkyCharger Battery Backup Power System is Not Used Some systems require battery backup power connected to the supply system in case of an AC power failure. Preferably, the battery bank should be in a room separate from the radio equipment.
MM-009290-001 Antenna systems are generally installed by crews specially-trained and equipped for working on antenna towers and/or pole-type installations. As a result, this manual assumes skilled personnel of this type will be working on the towers/poles, and installing the antennas and antenna cables. However, it may be necessary for the system installer to provide information and directions to the crew, and to verify proper installation. 5.5.1 Antenna Mounting 5.5.1.

MM-009290-001 Adapters for each antenna system are selected when ordering the system. If antenna coaxial cable must be attached to a structure that is not compatible with any of the previously described hangers or adapters, additional materials or other special considerations may be required. To secure 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch vertical or horizontal coaxial cables of any size, the use of heavy-duty nylon cable ties is recommended. 5.5.2.
MM-009290-001 Before unpacking a pallet or crate, move it as close as possible to the installation location. Carefully unpack the equipment and examine each item for damage. If any, contact the carrier immediately and have their representative verify the damage. Failure to report shipping damage immediately may cause forfeiture of any claim against the carrier. When unpacking the equipment, check the contents against the packing list.
MM-009290-001 6. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION This section includes mechanical installation procedures for the 700 MHz Cell Site base station and the related equipment. Because of the wide variety of installation conditions and configurations, many installations will require unique mechanical installation planning processes which must be accomplished on a site-by-site basis.
MM-009290-001 illustrated in Figure 6-1, the two end holes in one of the brackets may be used as a measuring tool, as these holes are exactly 16-¾ inches apart. 4. Using a centering-type gauge/tool, a level-equipped drill, and a 7/8-inch (0.875-inch) drill bit, drill two 7/8-inch holes at the marked locations. These holes must pass through the pole’s diameter-line (within approximately 5 degrees) and they must be perpendicular to the length of the pole (also within approximately 5 degrees). 5.

MM-009290-001 Mounting Brackets (2 places) NOTE: Base Station Cabinet and Solar Shield are shown for reference only.
MM-009290-001 2. Obtain 3/8-inch hardware appropriate for the mounting surface. For example, if mounting to a concrete wall, expandable concrete anchors with appropriate 3/8-inch bolts and washers are normally used. Use of stainless-steel bolts and washers is recommended.
MM-009290-001 Assembly, and between each mounting hole in the Heat Sink Assembly and the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is not nearly completely flat, additional flat washers should be used as required to prevent bending of the Heat Sink Assembly when the bolts are torqued. 12. Torque the six (6) bolts as required per utilized hardware. Torque the two (2) center bolts (left and right sides) first, then torque the four (4) corner bolts. Do not exceed (TBD) pound/inches.
MM-009290-001 daylight hours compared to an unshielded cabinet, and it helps to reduce build-up of foreign material on the top of the cabinet. The Solar Shield is a part of Heat Sink & Solar Shield Pole Mount Kit option MACS-NCK1G. Attach the shield to the cabinet in accordance with this procedure: 1.
MM-009290-001 7. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 7.1 PROTECTIVE GROUND CONNECTIONS All Cell Site base station related equipment must be grounded in accordance with the instructions presented in the Site Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines Manual AE/LZT 123 4618/1 (included with this installation manual set). This includes all metal (electrically conductive) items mounted to or in the near vicinity of the pole/mounting surface.
MM-009290-001 7.3 ANTENNA CABLE CONNECTIONS Antenna cable connections are made at the N-type RF connectors located on the bottom of the Cell Site base station cabinet. For simplex antennas, two cable connections are required. For duplex antenna, only one cable connection is required. 7.3.1 Simplex Antennas If the site employs simplex antennas (separate transmit and receive antennas), follow this procedure to make RF antenna cable connections to the base station.
MM-009290-001 5. Using soft-jaw pliers, tighten the RF connector securely. 6. Tie and stow the cable as necessary to prevent cable movement in strong winds.
MM-009290-001 8. POWER-UP PROCEDURE The following power-up procedure is recommended: 1. In the site’s main AC circuit breaker box, verify the AC circuit breaker for the SkyCharger battery backup system is OFF and verify the respective DC load (output) circuit breaker is OFF. If the SkyCharger system is not employed at the site, verify the corresponding AC circuit breaker for the site’s 24-volt DC power source/battery charger is OFF and verify the respective DC load (output) circuit breaker is OFF. 2.
MM-009290-001 8. In the Customer Interface Box, turn on the DCX power switch (labeled DCX POWER) while observing the DCX’s power indicator (labeled POWER ON in the DCX section). This indicator will light when the DCX is powered up. 9. In the Customer Interface Box, verify the DC supply voltage at the main DC input terminal block remains 24.0 and 28.5 Vdc. (+ with respect to ground). The nominal DC voltage level is 27.5 Vdc.
MM-009290-001 Table 8-1: LED Status Indicators at Customer Interface Box’s Front Panel FRONT PANEL DESIGNATION INDICATOR COLOR INDICATOR OPERATION POWER ON Green This indicator lights to indicate the DCX is powered-up. The DCX consists of the BSC and BSX assemblies. SELF TEST Red This indicator blinks to indicate the DCX’s BSC is in a self test mode. The BSC executes a self test just after it is powered-up or reset.
MM-009290-001 9. CONFIGURATION 9.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Cell Site base station configuration is performed during final equipment tests at the factory in accordance with the customer’s order. Most configurations are programmed into the BSC section of the Cell Site’s DCX.
MM-009290-001 Alarm logic states are transferred from the SkyCharger cabinet to the Cell Site cabinet via the modular cable that interconnects between terminal block TB3 in the SkyCharger cabinet and the ALARM modular jack at the front panel of the Cell Site cabinet Customer Interface Box. Inside the Cell Site cabinet, these alarm logic states are then passed to the BSC in the DCX for processing.
