Safety Precautions
Microwave
microwave equipment that has the radiation warning symbol ( ). When you are installing or
performing maintenance on an antenna located on a tower that has multiple antennas, avoid exposure
to radiation from other antennas.
Thunderstorms
Do not work with electrical current or work in elevated or exposed locations during a thunderstorm.
Extreme weather conditions
RTN 360 is usually installed outdoors. If weather conditions are extreme during an installation,
personnel should follow the related local guidelines and regulations to safeguard personal health
and safety.
Elevated locations
RTN 360 is usually installed in an elevated location, for example, on the rooftop of a building. For installation
in elevated locations, installation personnel must:
•Have the proper training and qualifications, and meet health requirements.
•Wear helmets, safety belts, and anti-slip footwear.
•Wear clothing and gloves appropriate to weather conditions.
•Work in teams of two or more.
•Test hoisting tools before use.
•Avoid installation during extreme weather conditions, such as during thunderstorms, blizzards, or gales.
If the ambient temperature reaches 55°C, the surface temperature of an RTN 360 may exceed 70°C.
Therefore, wear protective gloves when handling the RTN 360. A high-temperature warning label ( ) is
attached to each RTN 360.
Corrosion
Anti-corrosion measures are required if an RTN 360 is installed in a location that is prone to corrosion. Contact the
local Huawei office for details. A location is prone to corrosion if it is:
•Within 3.7 km of an ocean or a salt water lake
•Within 3 km of a heavy pollution source, such as a smelting factory or coal mine
•Within 2 km of a medium pollution source, such as a chemical, rubber, or electroplating plant
•Within 1 km of a light pollution source, such as a food/leather processing plant or heating boiler
Port protection
•
•
Fasten PG covers onto the network ports of an RTN
360, and protect unused ports with caps.
Retain removed caps for future use.
Caps
In addition, all site visitors must wear helmets. Unpacking
•After unpacking an RTN 360, power it on within 24 hours.
•Do not power off an RTN 360 for more than 24 hours during maintenance.
High-power radio frequency signals are harmful. Avoid exposure to transmission from the antennas of

•Use the crimping tool to crimp the connector with force.
•After crimping, verify that the connector has been crimped tightly. In addition to Ethernet services, the P&E port of the RTN 360 receives P&E (power over Ethernet)
signals from power sourcing equipment.An outdoor straight-through cable is used to connect
the P&E port and power sourcing equipment.
The pin assignments of the P&E port on some Ethernet power supply equipment may be different
from those on the RTN 360. In this case, you need to make a network cable based on the pin
assignments of the two P&E ports. For example, if the BTS3902E or BTS3202E supplies power over
Ethernet to the RTN 360, an outdoor crossover cable needs to be made.
Pin assignments of the P&E port on the RTN 360
Optional: Use a multimeter to measure the impedance of core wires. The impedance
difference between core wires must be less than 5%.

the metal conductor of the cable.
Fit the exposed cable into the OT terminal.
Ensure that the cable conductor does not
protrude more than 2 mm from the OT terminal.

4. Indoor cable routing
•Route cables into equipment rooms through feeder windows.
•Form drip loops outside feeder windows and ensure a bend radius equal to or
greater than the required minimum bend radius.
•Seek help indoors when routing cables into equipment rooms.
•Waterproof feeder windows.
General requirements
1. Bend radius
For power and PGND cables, ensure a bend radius of at least three times the
cable diameter.
2. Cable binding
•Bind different cables separately. Maintain an interval of at least 30 mm between
cable bindings.
•Bind cables securely and neatly, without damaging the cable jackets.
•Ensure that cable ties face the same direction and are aligned in rows horizontally.
•Cut off the excess of each indoor cable tie but leave a slack of about 5 mm for
each outdoor cable tie. Ensure that all cut surfaces do not have sharp edges.
•After installing cables, attach labels or tags to the two ends of each cable.
3. Safety
•Lay out cables away from sharp objects or jagged walls, or protect cables using
conduit.
•Lay out cables away from heat sources, or add heat-insulation materials between
cables and heat sources.
•At turns or near equipment, allow sufficient slack in the cables and coil them (with
The requirements for indoor cable routing apply if any section of cable will be
routed indoors.
16/17 >>
Requirements for laying out cables outdoors
Route cables along the planned path, use outdoor cable ties or feeder clamps to
bind cables properly and neatly at intervals of about 1 meter, and cut off the excess
of each cable tie without leaving sharp edges (ensuring a slack of about 5 mm).
Requirements for laying out PGND cables
•Connect PGND cables of devices at the same site to the same ground bar.
•Do not route PGND cables overhead in outdoor scenarios.
•Bind PGND cables separately from outdoor network cables and leave an
appropriate distance between the bundles.
•Do not add switches or fuses on PGND cables.
Installing sign plate labels
Attach a sign plate label to each cable end. To do so, pass cable
ties through the holes in the label and attach the label to one end of
the cable, about 100 mm to 200 mm away from the connector.
1. Unscrew the PG cover installed on port P&E of the RTN 360
using a 1.8 N•m torque wrench. Rotate the wrench
counterclockwise.
2. Attach a cable tie to the network cable to prevent the PG
cover from sliding down.
3/4. Route the network cable through the PG cover and
connect the cable to port P&E of the RTN 360.
5/6. Insert the plug of the network cable into port P&E and
screw on the PG cover using a 1.8 N•m torque wrench.
•The procedure for installing an outdoor network cable on
port GE(e) of an RTN 360 is the same as the procedure
described here.
•An outdoor network cable itself has some weight. Therefore,
preventive measures (such as binding the outdoor network
cable) must be taken to prevent the connector from being
pulled by the cable and consequently damaged.

Powering On an RTN 360
On an RTN 360, only port P&E supports power over Ethernet. Before powering on the equipment, ensure that:
•The P&E cable and the PI power cable are installed.
•DIP switches are set correctly, and the DIP switch for setting the power over ethernet mode for the used P&E port is turned to the PSE-PD side. After setting the DIP switches, switch off the power supply. After
waiting for 6 seconds, switch on the power supply again.
•Power on the equipment within 24 hours of unpacking.
•During maintenance, the power-off time of the equipment cannot be longer than 24 hours.

Verify that OT terminals of PGND cables are tightly crimped and PGND cables are not
damaged or broken.
Verify that PGND cables are bound separately from other cables.
Verify that the protection ground of an RTN 360 shares the same ground bar with the
lightning protection ground of the building bearing the RTN 360.
Verify that shielded RJ45 connectors of outdoor network cables are intact and tightly
crimped and the cables are not damaged or broken.
Verify that PG covers are tightly screwed onto the network ports of RTN 360s, unused
ports are protected with caps, and removed caps are retained for future use.
Verify that outdoor network cables are routed along planned paths and bound properly
and neatly at equal intervals (about 1 meter), and the excess of each cable tie is cut off
without leaving sharp edges.
Verify that alignment scopes are removed and securely stored.
If a WLAN module is installed at the USB port, you can determine whether the WLAN module is working properly
by enabling it to search for the SSID of an NE in the wireless LAN. If the SSID can be searched out, the WLAN
module is working properly. If the SSID cannot be searched out, open the maintenance compartment and view
the WLAN module indicator. If the indicator is steady red, replace the WLAN module.
