PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 4 Mounting the Antennas PureWave Quantum Base Stations can be deployed with virtually any type of antennas that operate in the relevant frequency band and that meet regional regulatory standards. Because the PureWave Quantum 6600 base station supports six antennas, the easiest and most cost-effective solution is to use a PureWave 6-Port Antenna Panel in the appropriate frequency band.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 5 Connecting the Antennas to the Base Station 5.1 Installation of Lightning Surge Protectors In most environments it is essential for the base station to be installed with external protection against surges caused by lightning on the antenna cables. PureWave therefore recommends that suitable surge protectors be installed on each base station antenna connector.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Specifications for the PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit are summarized in Table 6. Surge Protector Feature Specifications Surge Capabilities IEC 1000-4-5, 8/20μs @ 10kA Frequency Range 2-6GHz Return Loss > 20dB Insertion Loss ≤ 0.2dB RF Power Limit 10 Watts Max Temperature -40 C to +85 C Relative Humidity 0-100% condensing Surge Throughput Energy ≤ 0.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 5.2 Connecting the Antennas to the Base Station The base station has six N-type antenna connectors that must be attached to each installed antenna using high-quality coaxial cable, as discussed in Section 4. The number of connectors/adapters used should also be minimized as they are especially lossy. Most industrial-grade antennas, including all PureWave antennas, utilize N-type connectors.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 5.2.1 3x2x2 OmniWave Configuration The base station allows for a configuration supporting a 3 sectors deployment and therefore allows for a flexible coverage area.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 6 Installing the GPS Antenna WiMAX base stations utilize GPS (the Global Positioning System) to maintain tight synchronization and coordination among themselves in a network. This assures that all base stations in the network transmit and receive in harmony, as they must all utilize the same Downlink / Uplink Ratio. 6.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 6.2 Connecting the GPS Antenna to the Base Station The base station utilizes an N-type GPS antenna connector. The GPS antenna that comes as part of the optional GPS Antenna Kit also has an N-type connector. Prepare a high-quality coaxial cable of the appropriate length and with the appropriate connector types for use in connecting the GPS antenna to the base station.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 7 Connecting Ethernet and Serial Console Cables 7.1 The PureWave Basic DC Installation Kit Each PureWave Quantum Base Station is shipped with the PureWave Quantum Basic DC Installation Kit, which contains hardware and components required for connecting and waterproofing the ethernet ports, console port, the power port, and the grounding terminal. This kit has been shipped in the same box as the base station. Please locate it and compare its contents to Table 7.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 7.2 Preparing the Ethernet and Console Cables ETH-1 and ETH-2 connectors should both be run from the base station to the operator’s network equipment. The CONSOLE connection may be connected for initial provisioning and thereafter on an asneeded basis or it may be permanently connected as with the Ethernet connections.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Figure 16: T-567B RJ-45 Connector 7.3 Weatherproofing the Ethernet and Console Connections If the CONSOLE port is not to be permanently connected then it should remain tightly capped for the time-being.

PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 8 Connecting DC Power and Ground 8.1 Base Station Single-Point Grounding Extensive analysis and investigation of installations has led to the belief that the root cause at the heart of the majority of power-related failures is likely to be the presence of multi-point grounding of equipment. Single point grounding eliminates ground voltage differentials and thus dramatically increases equipment survivability during surges.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 This DC power connector assembly has been provided as part of the Basic DC Installation Kit (Table 7) and consists of a 4-pin female power connector plug, a set of crimp contacts, and a cable clamp. The connector with pin assignments is shown in (Figure 19). Figure 19: IP67 DC Power Connector and Pin Assignments To successfully complete the power cable assembly you will need the following tools (not provided).
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Step 1: Use wire strippers to remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire and approximately 1” of outer cable insulation. It is important that each wire be the same length, with equal lengths of stripped wire. Step 2: Slide the circular socket connector over the power cable as shown in Figure 21. Figure 21: Slide connector onto cable before crimping.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Figure 23: Side and top views of correct crimping technique Figure 24: Properly completed first crimp Step 5: Crimp the cable again at the second crimp location by starting with the “A” side of the crimping tool (Figure 25). Release crimping pressure when the second crimp location begins to curl. Next place the second crimp location in section “B” of the tool (Figure 26) and securely complete the crimp.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Figure 25: Start the second crimp with tool section “A”. Figure 26: Complete the second crimp with tool section “B”. The fully completed pin is shown in Figure 27. Now repeat Steps 3-5 for each of the three additional pins.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Step 6: Using your fingers, insert the crimped pins into the corresponding holes of the DC power connector plug (Figure 28). Be sure to match the pin-out as specified earlier. Figure 28: Pins inserted into DC power connector Step 7: Next use needle nose pliers to insert the pins further by grabbing the first crimp location and pushing all the way into the connector body. It helps if you place the connector face down on a table to provide extra leverage.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Figure 30: Use insertion tool to secure the pins in the plug. Figure 31: Front view of plug with crimp pins properly inserted Step 9: Complete the assembly by screwing the plug into the circular socket connector and secure with the cable clamp by tightening the two strain-relief screws using a Phillips screwdriver. The completed assembly is shown in Figure 32.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Appendix A Connector Weatherproofing Required Materials PureWave recommends that appropriate weather protection sealing be applied to all “outdoor” installed elements of the system. Weatherproofing tape kits can very effectively seal the junction between mating connectors. Proper and diligent weatherproofing not only protects the connection from water damage, but also prevents vibrations from loosening the interface.
PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1 Weatherproofing Procedures The following procedure is illustrated for an N-type antenna connector (without surge connector) but applies to all connector types. Step 1: Tighten the connection with a torque wrench to the proper torque value (12-15lbs for an Ntype connector) to ensure that correct internal seals and surface contacts are made. One recommended torque wrench for an N-Type connector is the Andre 244379 and is shown in Figure 34.
