Chapter 4 Installing the Wavion WBS-700 Metro Base Station This guide explains how to safely install the Wavion WBS-700 Metro Base Station.
Important Safety Instructions WARNING: It is illegal to modify the construction of this product. Modifying the operating frequency or enhancing the transmit output power through the use of external amplifiers or other equipment is specifically disallowed by the "Telecommunications Act." WARNING: This device is for outdoor or indoor use with conditions that no harmful interference to authorized radio stations results from the operation of this device.
Caution Only UL listed parts and components will be used for installation. Use UL listed devices having an environmental rating equal to or better than the enclosure rating to close all unfilled openings. Caution To maintain Overvoltage (Installation) Category II, install a suitable surge suppressor device in the branch circuit to limit expected transients to Overvoltage Category II values.
Choosing a Location To ensure the optimal performance select the locations for the equipment using the following guidelines: The antenna (not-integrated on the front panel of the outdoor unit) should provide a direct, or near line of sight, with the sector location that need to be covered. The antenna should be aligned to face the CPEs that aim to be in service, higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality (but not in all cases).
Mounting Strategies Consider the available mounting structures and antenna clearance when choosing a mounting location. Wavion outdoor unit WBS-700 should always be mounted with the top of the unit parallel to the ground, and with the antennas pointing upward and clear of obstruction. It is recommended to attach ground and data cables to the WBS-700 prior to mounting. Before mounting the WBS-700, read the wiring instructions in Grounding the Wavion WBS-700 and Connecting Power and Data.
There are two pairs of threaded holes on the back of the unit, enabling to use the special clamps for mounting the unit on diverse pole diameters. Figure 4.
Mounting on a Pole/Streetlight WBS-700 can be mounted on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is recommended to mount the WBS-700 on aluminum or galvanized steel structures. Note The Wavion WBS-700 must be mounted with the top of the unit parallel with the ground and with the antennas pointing upward. Note Before mounting the WBS-700, read the wiring instructions in Grounding the Wavion WBS-700 and Connecting a Data Port chapter. Metal/Wood/Streetlight Pole Mounting Figure 4.
Warning: Metal pole installation requires that the antennas are higher than the top of the pole. Note Antennas must be higher than the top of the metal pole and clear of any obstructions Note Mounting to wood, concrete, or painted poles requires primary grounding for the unit. Check the national electrical codes in your area for specific rules. To mount the Wavion WBS-700 on a metal/wood/streetlight pole: 1. Choose a mounting location.
5. Attach safety cable to protect installed unit Figure 4.
6. Use a torque wrench click type or digital set to 10 ft-lb, put a layer of loctite 242 type on the screws surface and torque all 4 screws. Re- torque to 15 ft-lb Figure 4.6 Use a torque wrench click Note: The WBS-700 unit must be parallel to the ground. The unit can be rotated to obtain the correct position. Note Installations on large wooden poles require band clamps such as those supplied by Panduit, www.panduit.com.
7. Grounding WBS-700. Figure 4.7 Grounding Method Caution: You must always install an external grounding wire. You must also ground the outdoor data protection device to a ground rod or a bonded pipe. Make sure you have completed grounding before you connect power to the WBS-700.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a good ground (earth) connection. (For example, a grounding rod). Figure 4.8 Grounding Grounding the Data Protection Device The grounding method for an indoor data protection device is shown in Figure 4.9. To ground an indoor data protection device: 1. Position the protection device as close to the building entrance as possible. 2. Attach a length of #10 AWG bare copper wires to the ground post on the data protection device. 3.
Figure 4.
Connecting Antennas This section explains how to connect the six antennas to the WBS-700X. In order for the WBS-700 to work properly, six antennas must be connected. Use 6 RF cables to connect all 6 Antennas to the unit body. Each RF cable has two sides with right angle and straight N-type connectors. Connect straight N-type to the antenna and right angle N-type to the unit body. Figure 4.
Figure 4.12 Connecting right angle N-Type connector to the antenna Figure 4.
WARNING: Only connect the unit to the power supply once all the antennas are connected. WARNING: Use caution when connecting the antennas. Undue haste can damage the unit. WARNING: Do not screw in the antenna when holding the top section of the antenna. You will most likely damage the antenna. WARNING: The installation should be done after connecting the antennas. After installation, the user should connect the antennas.
Antenna Sealing The following describes antenna sealing procedure Caution: It is important to read carefully this procedure and perform all its steps to ensure maximal moisture protection. Sealing Technique: After the antenna is connected, use isolation material to cover the N-Type connectors Apply the tape with tacky side up on the antenna and N-Type connector. Stretch and lapped sealing tape to form smooth, void-free splice Figure 4.
Connecting Power and DATA The following describes how to apply power and data to the WBS-700 Caution: You must always install an external grounding wire. Perform a simple continuity check between the WBS-700and the ground termination point to confirm. You must also ground the outdoor data protection device to a ground rod or a bonded pipe. Make sure you have completed grounding before you connect power to the WBS-700. The Wavion WBS-700 is equipped with two RJ45 connectors.
WARNING: The shields of the Cat5 cable must be properly terminated and bonded to the unit and to the protective earth (PE) at the building entrance. This provides protection against the risk of fire, electrical hazard and ensures the reliable operation of this equipment. Note: National Electrical Codes (NEC) Article 800 requires the use of an Agency Listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector for all power and communications cables entering a building.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 1 and Step 2: Unscrew the plastic cap and the cap cover. Thread the Ethernet cable through the cap cover and the cap. Connect the Ethernet cable to the “ETH” port. Step 3 Step 4 Step 3 and Step 4: Screw the plastic cap; make sure it is well tightening. Furthermore screw the cap cover to ensure perfect sealing. It will ensure IP-67 compliance. Figure 4.16 Steps to connect the Ethernet cable.
