1 Introduction
iRelay 460 (iR460) is part of iRelay —Airspan’s wireless backhaul family.
iR460 offers the following benefits:
•Provides PtP connectivity.
•Functions as the building blocks that provides fully secure and encrypted capabilities.
•Provides a trusted wireless backhaul solution that supports all capacity needs of Airspan’s
eNodeB.
•Provides high-speed data.
iR460 contains both radio and antenna as a single unit housed such that the antenna direction can be
rotated by software command and by automatic link acquisition software. The complete weatherproof
enclosure can be mounted on a wall, pole, or tower, and powered by an AC or a DC PoE device using
a CAT5e cable.
1.1 iR460 with Internal Steerable Antenna Assembly
This form factor is targeted for short or medium distance deployments where the feeder base is
located on pole mounts (typically, on a lamppost, towers or in a building location).

1.3 Installation Checklist
To plan the installation of the iR460 unit, use the installation checklist. See Appendix B.
1.4 Verify Site Requirements
Commissioning iR460 1.4.1
To change or check iR460 values, an Ethernet connection or Bluetooth is required to a laptop PC so
that the local web page can be accessed.
LOS Check 1.4.2
For best results it is important to have a clear LOS between iR460 and the DeNB.
To ensure a clear LOS, make sure the following requirements are met:
Note: Make sure to check whether there are any additional obstacles which were not detected
during last survey.
1.5 Verify Safety Requirements
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in this
manual.
When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable safety standards
and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult with the
appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.
Ascertain the radiation hazards and act accordingly when working in an environment close to other
antennas and electromagnetic fields—for example, working on towers with other Radio transmitters.
Warning of Hazardous Voltages 1.5.1
On AC installations, hazardous voltages exist. Use caution when verifying or working with the AC
power. Before working with the AC power, remove all metal jewellery and accessories (for example—
rings, watches, and other metal items). To avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not
allow these metal items to come into contact with the AC power.
On DC sections, short circuiting the low voltage, low impedance circuits can cause arcing that might
result in burns or eye damage. To avoid shorting DC circuits, remove all metal jewellery and
accessories.
Important: 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.
Caution: Any modifications to this device not expressly authorized by the manufacturer can void
the users’ authority to operate this device.

Adhering to European Directive 1999/519/EC 1.5.2
European Council Recommendation1999/519/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.

This chapter describes how to install and perform the setup for the iR460 link.
It includes information on the following topics:
•Unpacking and Examining iR460
•Mounting the iR460 Panel Antenna Unit to a Pole
2.1 Unpacking and Examining iR460
Before you begin the iR460 install, examine the iR460 package contents carefully before making
arrangements for the professional services personnel to install the equipment. Unbox iR460 and
inspect it for any physical damage that might have occurred during transportation and storage.
Important: Any physical damage to the iR460 unit must be addressed before mounting the unit at
the site.
Verify that all other equipment including cables, tools, mounting brackets, and grounding systems are
in place for the installation.

2.3 Mounting the iR460 Panel Antenna Unit
When installing iR460 on a pole, mast, or lamppost, use the pole mount kit included with the iR460
unit.
Figure 5 shows iR460 mounting kit parts.
For a description of these parts, see Table 9.

Item Quantity Description
2 1 Mounting bracket back plate (part A)
3 1 Mounting bracket front plate (part B)
4 2 Short bolts for mounting iR460 to the
mounting bracket
The iR460 mounting kit that is designed to enable deployment on a wall or a pole contains:
•Wall mounting bracket and short bolts
•Pole mounting bracket part A and long bolts
•Pole mounting bracket part B and metal straps
2.3.1.1 Mounting iR460 to a Pole
When installing iR460 on a pole, mast, or lamppost, use the pole mount kit included with the iR460
unit. Carefully select the location on the pole allowing enough clearance to align the iR460 to the
desired direction.
The following are the two types of available pole mounting kits:
•Type A iR460 mounting kit for poles less than 3.75 inch diameter
•Type B iR460 mounting kit for poles less greater than 3.75 inch diameter
Both contain several parts that you can assemble prior to mounting on a pole. For more information
on how to mount Type A iR460 and Type B iR460, see Mounting Type A iR460 for Metal Poles Less
than 3.75 inch Diameter, Mounting Type B iR460 for Metal Poles Greater than 3.75 inch Diameter,
and Mounting Type B iR460 for Wood Poles Greater than 3.75 inch Diameter (TBC).
2.3.1.2 Mounting Type A iR460 for Metal Poles Less than 3.75 inch
Diameter
To install iR460 on small poles (that is, poles with diameter up to 3.75 inch), use all brackets parts
except the metal bands.
1. Insert both long bolts into the bracket part A; position on the pole, fit bracket Part B, fit the
washers (form A washer and rectangular lock washer), hand tighten the nut. Position the
bracket in the correct location on the pole before fully securing.
Torque =
Make sure to place part A behind the pole.
