Installation Environment
2.3.1 Locational Requirements
Environments with high-temperature, dust, harmful gases, unstable voltage, big vibration,
high noise or exposed to flammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (large radar
station, transmitting station, transformer substation) are not suitable for the operation of
mBS1100, and thus should be avoided. Places prone to have impounded water, soaking,
leakage, or condensation, should also be avoided.
In the construction process, factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric
power, and transportation should be taken into consideration so that a proper location can
be chosen to meet the communication engineering environmental requirements, as well
as the technical requirements of network planning and communication equipment.
2.3.2 Environmental Requirements
Table 2-2 gives the base station’s environmental requirements on temperature, humidity,
and voltage.

Installation Steps
3.3.1 Install Mounting Bracket and Handle
1. Use the M6*12 socket head screw to fix the bracket on both sides of the mBS1100,
as shown in Figure 3-3.

3.3.2 (Optional) Install GPS Antenna
Installation requirements on GPS antenna:
No major blocking from buildings in the vicinity. Keep the rooftop buildings a distance
away from the GPS. Make sure the space atop within 90 degrees (at least 45 degrees
in the south) is not blocked by any buildings.
Avoid installing the GPS in the vicinity of any other transmitting and receiving devices.
Avoid interference from other transmitting antennas to the GPS antennas.
Should be installed within 45 degrees to the lightening rod.
GPS antenna feeder lightning protector is required before connecting to the base
station.
1. Prepare items for the GPS antenna installation
2. Install GPS rack
3. Install the GPS antenna in the upper right of the mBS1100 base station. Vertical
installation is required.

11
4. Connect one end of the wire jumper to the RF port of the GPS antenna, fasten the
connector and connect the other end to the GPS antenna feeder lightning protector.
5. Then, connect one end of the other wire jumper to the GPS antenna feeder lightning
protector and the other end to the mBS1100 base station’s GPS port.
6. Ground the antenna feeder lightning protector.
Note:
The GPS antenna feeder lightning protector must be grounded.
7. Waterproofing measures need to be taken on GPS connector, GPS antenna feeder
surge protective device connector, and the GPS antenna connector, using the
waterproof daub and waterproof tape, refer to 3.3.3.3 Waterproof Protection.
3.3.3 Install Antenna Feeder System
There are two kinds of outdoor antennas, omnidirectional outdoor antennas and
directional outdoor antennas, whose installation will be introduced in the following,
respectively.

12
3.3.3.1 Install Omnidirectional Antennas
One should pay attention to the followings in the process of installing omnidirectional
outdoor antenna:
The diameter of the pole for omnidirectional outdoor antennas is required to be 35mm
~ 50mm. A typical case is to use the 50mm-diameter round-steel-made pole (with
details depending on the specific antenna type).
Make sure that the top of pole and the clamp beneath the antenna are at the same
level, after installing the omnidirectional outdoor antenna on the pole.
Make sure that the antenna is high enough to meet the coverage requirement, and
that, the antenna top falls in the safety angle of 45 degrees towards the lightening rod,
as shown in Figure 3-6. In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no metal
object is allowed within 1m range in the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional
antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent
lightening rod should be settled between two poles, where the lightening rod must be
high enough to keep all antenna tops under its protection cover.
Figure 3-6 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1)
In case that an independent lightning rod is impossible due to environmental limitation, the
installation method as shown in Figure 3-7 can be adopted. Be aware that the pole
supporting the lightening rod should be kept from the omnidirectional outdoor antennas for
at least 1m away.

13
Figure 3-7 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (2)
3.3.3.2 Install Directional Antennas
1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas
2. To install it on the iron tower’s role, use pulley to transport the antenna assembled to
the platform at the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-9. Working at heights should
strictly follow the safety rules.

14
Figure 3-9 Transportation of the Antenna in the Height
3. Fix the pole vertically to the ground or concrete pillars on the rooftop using expansion
screws, and fasten it with steel wires. Then, mount the omnidirectional outdoor
antenna onto the pole using the installation rack, as shown in Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-10 Directional Antenna Installation
4. Connect all cables and wires and fix them, when the base station has been installed
in a proper position
5. A lightning protector is mandatory in the connection between the mBS1100 base
station and the antenna feeder. The N-type male connector of the lightning protector
should be connected to theANT port of the base station, as shown in Figure 3-11.

15
Figure 3-11 Installation of the Antenna Feeder Lightning Protector
6. Ground the antenna feeder lightning protector.
Note:
The antenna feeder lightning protector must be grounded.
7. Do testing, and seal all the connections for waterproof protection after the testing is
passed.
3.3.3.3 Waterproof Protection
Wrap the connections to protect with waterproof tapes and waterproof daub, as shown in
Figure 3-12.
