Warning! 6 Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S.
Preparing for the Installation Warning! Warning! The RadioFrame Unit (RFU) is intended to be mounted on a wall. The RFU can also be installed on or above a ceiling. Please read the RFU mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system. Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Preparing for the Installation Safety with Electricity Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! 8 To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ45 connectors; incorrect interconnection can cause equipment damage. Use caution when connecting cables.
Preparing for the Installation Guidelines for Working on Equipment Powered by Electricity • Locate the emergency power off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power. • Before installing, removing, or repairing an NCU or ACU, unplug the power cord. • Disconnect all power before working near power supplies. • Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Preparing for the Installation Ensure that the NCU or ACU is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes a good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
2 Installing the RFS The RadioFrame System is modular and simple to install using the Site Design Specification (SDS). The SDS specifies the following: • Location of each system component: NCU, ACUs, RFUs, and RadioBlades. • Mounting type for each component: rack, wall, or ceiling. • Cabling requirements, including maximum cabling lengths, existing wiring/raceways that can be used, and terminations and connections required. • Locations of approved power sources for each NCU and ACU.
Installing the RadioFrame System Wire the RFS All components of the RFS are connected using standard CAT 5 cabling installed in existing raceways or conduits when available. Use only RJ45 connectors for system components. The NCU may also be connected to a wireless LAN (WLAN), and in iDEN installations, the NCU must be connected to the iSC (integrated Site Controller). All wiring specifications, including acceptable run lengths and termination points, are listed in the Site Design Specification (SDS).
Installing the RadioFrame System Install the NCU The NCU is the main controller of the RadioFrame System. Typically, the NCU is mounted in a rack in a telecommunications room or other closet supplied with 120VAC. Unpack and mount the Network Chassis Unit (NCU) 1 Find these items in the NCU shipping container: one NCU, four mounting screws, one 120VAC power cord, one coaxial cable with two male BNC connectors, and one set of product documentation.
