MM102225V1, Rev. B 2.0 SITE PREPARATION 2.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides instructions for preparing the site and other installation items, which must be completed prior to installing OpenSky Communication equipment. The areas covered include the following: Antenna System - This includes installation of the antenna tower, receive and transmit antennas, tower top amplifier and the installation of the transmission lines from the antenna to the tower top amplifier to the equipment shelter.
MM102225V1, Rev. B 2.2.2.2 Minimum Bending Radius Always adhere to the minimum bending requirements provided by the manufacturer. For Andrew Products, the values are: CABLE SIZE BENDING RADIUS 1/4-inch 1-inch (25 mm) 1/2-inch 1.25-inch (32 mm) 7/8-inch 10-inches (250 mm) 1-5/8-inch 20-inches (510 mm) 2.2.2.3 Hoisting Grips Hoisting grips provide the means to attach a lifting mechanism to the coaxial cable without damaging the cable.
MM102225V1, Rev. B Adapters for each antenna system are selected when ordering the system. If the coaxial cable must be attached to a structure that is not compatible with any of the above hangers or adapters, then 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, use UV resistant, black nylon cable ties. 2.2.2.
MM102225V1, Rev. B Although the temperature requirements for individual pieces of trunked equipment may be broader, when several units are assembled together in a cabinet more heat is generated. Because of this condition, the ambient room temperature outside the cabinet must be lowered to ensure the temperature inside the cabinet does not exceed the limits for the equipment. 2.4.3 Electrical Power Normally, OpenSky equipment is powered by –48 VDC.
MM102225V1, Rev. B 4. Record the design gain of the antenna. 5. If the antenna is directional, record the bearing of the main lobe, using the magnetic declination for True North. If it is Omni, write "Omni" in the data entry line. 6. Record the height of the antenna above ground. 7. Confirm that cable-hoisting grips were installed as required to prevent damage to the coaxial cable. Hoisting grips should have been installed at the antenna end of the cable plus one for each 200 feet of cable length. 8.
MM102225V1, Rev. B 3.0 BASE STATION INSTALLATION The following sections present the steps required for installation of populated OpenSky base station equipment racks at a communications site.
