Nova-243 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide training, and having the corresponding qualifications. 2.5 Against Lightening and Grounding Protection CAUTION: It is unlikely to happen but since the LTE base station is very sophisticated equipment so we would recommend you to test it on the ground to make sure everything is functioning before install on the tower. The operator must prepare external against lightning protector to protect the GPS, external antenna and RJ-45 port.
Nova-243 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3. Install the Base Station 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-243 is given in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Installation Procedure of Nova-243 3.
Nova-243 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide The GPS cable should be as shorter as possible to reduce the influence to signal strength. The GPS has been assembled before packing, the only installation step is to fix the GPS mounting bracket on the base station using the M4 x 14 screws, as shown in Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2 Install the GPS Antenna 3.4 Install on Pole Required diameter of the pole: 30mm ~ 100mm and suggest the installation height higher than 120cm.
Nova-243 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 2. Make sure the base station’s installation height, fit the thread rod of the assembled bracket to the pole, and then pass the two omegas through the threaded rods, and fasten the four flat gaskets, four spring gaskets, and four nuts. 3. Mount the base station vertically on the bracket and tighten M6 screw on the top of bracket using cross screwdriver to complete the installation.
Nova-243 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide 3.5 Install on Wall The wall must bear four times of the base station’s weight. 1. Take apart the assembled bracket. 2.
