Warnings and Cautions
Human Exposure to Radio Frequencies
The AirHarmony-4000 antennas should be operated from a minimum safe distance of 4.6m
Radio Interference
The AirHarmony generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment on and off, the technician is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by performing one or more of the following measures:
Re-orientate or relocate the unit
Increase separation between the units and/or End Devices
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the power
source is connected
Modifications
Any changes and modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by Airspan Networks
may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
General

necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities
to ensure compliance.
Warning of Hazardous Voltages
On AC installations, hazardous voltages exist. Use caution when verifying or working with AC power.
Remove metal jewelry that could come into contact with AC power.
On DC sections, short-circuiting the low voltage, low impedance circuits can cause severe arcing that
may result in burns or eye damage. Remove rings, watches etc. to avoid shorting DC circuits.
Note: Airspan products do not contain hazardous substances (as defined in UK Control of Substances
Hazardous to Health Regulations 1989 and the Dangerous Substances Regulations 1990). At the end
of any Airspan products life cycle, the customer should consult with Airspan to ensure that the
product is disposed of in conformance with the relevant regulatory requirements.
Adherence to European Directive 1999/519/EC
European Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC details basic restrictions and reference levels on
human exposure to electromagnetic fields as advised by the ICNIRP. Adherence to these
recommended restrictions and reference levels should provide a high level of protection as regards
the established health effects that may result from exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Warning Symbols
The following symbols may be encountered during installation or troubleshooting. These warning
symbols mean danger. Bodily injury may result if you are not aware of the safety hazards involved in
working with electrical equipment and radio transmitters. Familiarize yourself with standard safety
practices before continuing.
Electro-Magnetic Radiation
High Voltage
Service Information
Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Do not modify any part of this device, as this will void
the warranty.
Disconnect the power to this product and return it for service if the following conditions apply:
a. The terminal does not function after following the operating instructions outlined in this
manual.
b. The product has been dropped or the housing is damaged.
Locate the serial number of the terminal and record this on your registration card for future
reference. Also record the MAC address, located on the product sticker.
UL Information
- The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code
requirements.
- Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.
- AirHarmony-4000 is designed to operate in environmental conditions complying with IP66 and
relevant standards.
Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and national
codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-
standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct
lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury. Reasons
for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment.

AirHarmony-4000 (External Cavity Filters) Installation Guide
UGD-D01019 Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 5
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from
lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without passing
through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not prevent lightning
from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low
resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded
connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from
the building and equipment.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended
for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the
lightning/surge protectors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the
building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
- The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the eNodeB.

Antenna System
AirHarmony-4000 comes in a range of frequency variants that can be mounted with different
antenna options and formats. A typical installation will have a cross-polar sector or dual slant
antenna connected to the approprate Cavity filter of the AirHarmony-4000 variant unit. Various
antennas are designed specifically for AirHarmony-4000 deployments; specifications are available
from Airspan separately.
Long Switched Beam Antenna
Long Switched Beam antenna variant includes a steerable antenna mounted on the unit with the
following specification. The antenna is a multi-element cross polarized (dual slant) design which can
be used in directional or Omni modes of operation.
Scenario #1 - The long switched beam antenna is mounted directly on the unit and connected via its
two RF ports and the control port. The GPS antenna is either mounted on the top of the unit (if
conditions allow) or mounted separately with approved lightning protection.
Scenario #2 - The long switched beam antenna is mounted on the pole above the unit connected via
its two RF ports and the control port.
External Antenna
The externally mounted antenna should be a dual slant or cross polarized fixed antenna which are
connected via two (2) DIN connectors located on the top panel or to the external Cavity filter. The
antenna should be mounted to its appropriate mounting facility.
Note: When utilized in conjunction with iRelay as backhaul maintain a vertical separation of at least
1 meter.

poles, building rooftop or sides etc…)
AirHarmony-4000 employs Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, together with two transmit
and receive paths for each sector and a GPS antenna and receiver –all in a highly integrated,
physically small and light, All-Outdoor package, targeted to blend seamlessly into the urban
environment. This compact outdoor product minimizes physical footprint, power consumption and
operator OPEX.
AirHarmony-4000 is a 2T2R solution that enables a flexible deployment scenarios, but can achieve
higher coverage and throughput by combing multiple eNodeBs enabling the support of 4T4R, 4T8R,
and 8T8R.
