Installation Environment2.3
2.3.1 Locational Requirements
Environments with high-temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile
vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, and electromagnetic interference (large radar
stations, transmitting stations, transformer substations) are not suitable for the
operation of mBS31001, and thus should be avoided.
Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also
be avoided.
Factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation
should be taken into consideration in the construction process 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 with regards to
temperature, humidity, and voltage.

Personnel Requirements2.4
The installation personnel must master the basic safe operation knowledge, through the
training, and having the corresponding qualifications.
Against Lightening and Grounding Protection2.5
CAUTION:
It is unlikely to happen but since the LTE base station is very sophisticated
equipment so we would recommend you to test it on the ground to make sure
everything is functioning before install on the tower.

Grounding Notes:
The ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm².
Grounding principle: as near as possible.
The base station connects to the reliable outdoor grounding point (earth) through
one ground screw.
The connection of the grounding points and the ground bar need to be tight and
reliable. Rustproofing the terminals is required. This can be done with rust
preventing paint, anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on.
Weatherproof Protection2.6
The mBS31001 adopts cold shrink tube for weatherproof protection. Before installing the
cold shrink tube, clean up the interface first. The weatherproof protection steps are as
follows:
1. Insert cable into cold shrink tube.
2. Tighten the connector.
3. Push the cold shrink tube to the top joint and pull out the strip.
4. Check whether the cold shrink tube tight connect with the connection.

3. As the following figure, hung the two pins on the base station bracket to the
installation bracket, push the base station until the hook block to the base station
bracket.
4. Tighten two screws on the top of the bracket using cross screwdriver to complete
the installation.

Install on Wall3.5
The wall must bear four times of the base station weight.
1. Take apart the assembled installation bracket kit to get the installation bracket
2. Fit the installation bracket on the wall, and mark the drilling locations.
Caution:
The arrow of the installation bracket must be upward.
3. Drill two 10mm diameter and 70mm depth holes in the wall by following the
marked locations.
4. Check the up/down direction of the installation rack, and then fix base station
to the wall using M8*80 expansion screws.
5. Refer to the installation steps on pole, fix base station on wall.
Connect Cable3.6
3.6.1 Requirement for Cable Laying
General requirements:
Bending radius requirement of feeder cable: 7/8” > 250mm, 4/5” > 380mm
Bending radius requirement of jumper cable: 1/4” > 35mm，1/2” (super soft) > 50mm，
1/2”(ordinary)>127mm
Bending radius requirement of power cable and grounding cable: > tripled of the
diameter of cable
The minimum bend radius of the optical fiber is the 20 times of the diameter of
optical fiber.
Binding the cables according the type of the cable, the intertwining and crossing is
forbidden.

3. Lay optical fibers along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from OPT
hole.
The redundant fiber should wind neatly.
3.6.2Connect Ethernet Cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to ETH interface in the wiring cavity.
2. Lay Ethernet cable along the wire groove, and stretch out the wiring cavity from ETH
hole.
3.6.3Connect Power Connector
Because it is not sure that the distance between the installation site and the power
supply device, the two ends of power adapter are bare terminal end. The operators need
to make power cable according to the actual conditions on installation site, and assemble
power plug and power terminal on two ends of power adapter.
Strip 12mm insulating layer with wire stripper, which is used for connection to connector.
It is recommended that the power cord length is kept below 100m (330 feet).
The connection steps of power cable is as follows.
1. Assemble power plug.
The power plug will be installed on the end of input direction. Refer to the
identification on power plug, connect live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire to
corresponding terminals separately, and tighten screws.
2. Assemble power terminal.
The power terminal will be installed on the end of output direction. Refer to the
following figure to connect live wire and neutral wire.
3. Connect the power cable to PWR interface in the wiring cavity.
4. The power cable lays along the lint slot, and stretch out the wiring cavity from PWR
hole.
5. The input of the power adaptor connects to the outlet.
If the outlet is indoors, place the power adaptor indoors.

LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
13
If the outlet is outdoors, place the power adaptor in a water proof box.
6. After the cable connection is complete in the wiring cavity, tighten the screws on the
cover to close the wiring cavity using M4 cross screwdriver.
3.6.4Connect Ground Cable
Make the grounding cable according the actual situation of the installation site.
The Nova-436Q provides two grounding screws, which is located on the bottom of the
base station, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Location of Grounding Screws
1. Unscrew one grounding screw, connect one end of the grounding cable to the
grounding screw, and fasten it again.
2. The other end of the ground cable needs to connect to a good grounding point.
Install Antenna Feeder System3.7
There are two kinds of outdoor antennas, omnidirectional outdoor antennas and
directional outdoor antennas, whose installation will be introduced in the following,
respectively.
3.7.1 Install Omnidirectional Antennas
One should pay attention to the followings while installing the 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).

LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
14
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 within the 45 degrees safety angle towards the lightening
rod, as shown in Figure 3-4. In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no
metal object is allowed within 1m of the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional
antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent
lightening rod should be settled between the two poles, where the lightening rod
must be high enough to keep all antennas under its protection cover.
Figure 3-4 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1)
In case is impossible to install an independent lightning rod due to environmental
limitations, the installation method shown in Figure 3-5 can be used. Be aware that the
pole supporting the lightening rod should be kept at least 1m away from the
omnidirectional outdoor antennas.

3.7.2 Install Directional Antennas
1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas
2. To install it on the iron tower, use a pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the
platform on the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-7. Following the safety rules when
working at these heights.

Figure 3-7 Transportation the Antennas 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 directional
outdoor antenna onto the pole using the installation rack, as shown in Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8 Directional Antenna Installation
4. When the base station has been installed in a proper position, connect all the cables
and wires.
5. Run tests, then seal and weatherproof all the connections after the testing has
successfully completed. Refer to 2.6 Weatherproof Protection.
