2.4 Customer Supplied Equipment
1. Building wiring must be installed between each PICOCELL 1900
transceiver location and the equipment location where the CSI is
located. The mounting of each PICOCELL 1900 transceiver is
independent of CSI and MDF which may be installed later.
2. Floor plans indicating PICOCELL 1900 mounting locations and
locations for CSI and MDF
3. Cabling and pair assignment matching PICOCELL 1900 transceivers to
cable pair numbers.
4. Building access authorization, security clearance if required and keys
for access to restricted CSI and PICOCELL 1900 equipment locations.

3.0 Precautions and Preparations
3.1 Precautions
Observe the general safety precautions against personal injury and
equipment damage outlined in the ISM/IM0 at all times.
Picocell transcievers may be handled without static protection. Use of
a grounded wrist strap is mandatory when handling all other exposed
circuit packs or modules.
This method is for indoor installations only.
Picocell 1900 transcievers and antennae are for indoor installations only
and mounting of some or all; transcievers, antennas, hybrids and cabling
in an outside environment may create a potential fire hazard from
lightning. Custom design is required to address outdoor requirements.
Avoid thermal trapped air cavities. In particular, the Picocell cannot be
mounted above the ceiling as this is deemed a plenum installation, and
different, tighter safety specifications are enforced.
3.2 Preparations
Prior to starting the operations presented in this method, arrange all
materials, tools, and test equipment at the work location so as to
minimize fatigue and inconvenience.
1. Has an Installation Planning Checklist per IM-0242 been completed?
2. Are System design and site floor plans available with equipment
locations ?
3. Is building wiring installed and accessible?
4. Is all the test equipment necessary to complete the job on site?
5. Is all the PICOCELL transceiver and antenna equipment on site and
inventoried?
6. Is the customer supplied equipment (back boards, MDF blocks) on site
and installed?
7. Has the loadbuild sent all required switch load tapes to the MTX site?
CAUTION
Maintain minimum or greater distances from interference
sources and from equipment and apparatus which may be
affected by RF energy.

4.0 Procedure
4.1 Overview
Below is a list of procedures required to install the PICOCELL 1900:
Procedure 1 - Unpacking and Inventory transciever Material
Procedure 2 - Wall Mounting and securing the Radio Mounting Bracket
Procedure 3 - Ceiling Mounting and securing the Radio Mounting
Bracket
Procedure 4 - Installation of PICOCELL Transceiver onto Wall
Mounting Bracket
Procedure 5 - Co-located AC power supply Installation
Procedure 6 - Remote AC power supply Installation

.
Procedure 1 – Unpacking and Inventory transciever Material
Step Action Observation
1Inspect the cartons for any damage.
2Refer to Section 2.3 Product Stock List
and Mounting Kits, for a list of parts to
be included in the cartons
Table 2, “Stock List and Mounting Kits,” on
page 9
3Remove all equipment from their cartons
and verify the equipment received is not
damaged. After all of the parts are
removed from the cartons and inspected,
inventory them making sure that all the
parts listed in Section 2.3 are on site.
4Refer to the PICOCELL 1900 Installa-
tion Planning Method 02-0242 and the
System Design Specification to deter-
mine how many CSI and PICOCELL
1900 (PICOCELL 1900 Base Station)
transcievertranscievers are required and
to determine where and how to position
the units.
5Also take into consideration the desired
location of the Hybrid. Due to the length
of the antenna cables, the transceiver(s)
and Hybrid(s) will have to reside close
together. Refer to the PICOCELL 1900
Installation Planning Method 04-0242
and Antenna installation 12-0152 for
spacing requirements and cable length
considerations.

Procedure 2 – Wall Mounting and securing the Radio Mounting Bracket
Step Action Observation
1Locate the wall mounting bracket and
the screws provided. Determine the
required direction transcieverf the wall
mount bracket orientation from the Sys-
tem Design floor plan. Refer also to
Appendix B - Orientation
2Locate the 4 mounting screws with the
mounting bracket . If external antennas
are used, the transcievers and Hybrid(s)
will have to reside close together. Ref-
erence Method 04-0152 for antenna sys-
tem installation.
Figure 4
3Square the bracket with the wall and/or
ceiling and fasten the bracket with the
first screw.
Appendix B
4After one top corner has been fastened
to the wall, check to make sure the wall
mounting bracket is still level before
installing the additional wood screws
5Install the remaining wood screws into
the wall mounting bracket. Figure 4
6Position the transciever into the bracket
and ensure that the locking retainer is
locked and correctly positioned .

Procedure 3 – Ceiling Mounting and securing the Radio Mounting Bracket
Step Action Observation
1Locate the wall mounting bracket and
the screws provided. Determine the
desired direction of the wall mount
bracket orientation. Refer to the system
layout document to determine readio
orienation.
2Locate the ceiling main support track
closest to the desired mounting location
and attach the IDS clips as shown in Fig-
ure 6 . If the ceiling track is poorly sup-
ported use drop wire from each IDS clip
to a secure point above the mouning
location in main ceiling. Replace the
ceiling panel
Figure 6
3Attach the mounting bracket to the ceil-
ing as shown in Figure 7 using spacers
between the bracket and the IDS clips.
Note that the nuts on the IDS clips must be flusch
to permit the transciever to lock into the mount-
ing bracket to
Appendix B
4Drill an access hole near the front of the
transciever for the facility cable pairs.
5Lock the transciever into the bracket and
complete the wired connections.
