UltraAmpTMTwin Tower Mounted Amplifier Auto Bypa
PACKAGE CONTENTS
lease find the following products inside the box:
• (1) Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA)
• (2) Hose Clamps (For pole mounting – diameter 40-110mm)
• (1) Installation Instructions
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
The following tools are needed for proper installation
• 8mm Socket Head – for fixation of the hose clamps onto the
tower [Torque 5.5 Nm (4.1 ft-lb)]
• 10mm Socket Head – for fixation of the ground cable to the
Amplifier
• Additional Tools – for fixation of the ground cable onto the
tower grounding point, for tightening the 7/16 connector
coupling nut and for mounting the Amplifier onto the wall
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IM ORTANT: All national safety rules and regulations must be
followed during installation and maintenance of the Amplifier.
!Make sure that the Base Station is sending the proper DC input
voltage (10-30VDC) through the feeder cable. The DC input
voltage MUST be applied on the BTS ort.
!It is important that no RF and DC power is floating in the
associated RF feeder cable and, in general, that no power is
radiated from the tower or site during the Amplifiers installation.
!RFS recommends using the shortest jumper cable from the
Amplifier ANT ort to the Antenna in order to optimize system
performance.
!RFS recommends applying additional anti-corrosion protection
and using best practices when products are installed in areas
with high-salt concentration, on chimneys (SO2) or other extreme
harsh environment, to lengthen the product lifetime.
!RFS recommends using RFS accessories and cables to ensure the
best installation.
1. Check that RF signals and DC power coming from the
Base Station are OFF/disconnected.
2. Fix the hose clamps onto the TMA.
3. Mount the TMA to the pole by tightening the hose clamps
with 5.5 Nm (4.1 ft-lb) torque.
4. Attach a grounding cable to the grounding screw.
5. Tighten the ground cable nut with 4 Nm (3 ft-lb) torque.
6. Adjust the length of the ground cable and fix it onto the tower
ground connection.
7. Connect the jumpers between the 7/16 connectors of the
antennas and the 7/16 connectors (ANT 1 and 2) of the
TMA(s). Connect the jumpers between the 7/16 connectors
(BTS 1 and 2) of the TMA(s) and the 7/16 connectors of the
feeder cables.
8. When attaching the jumper cable 7/16 connector coupling nut
to the TMA 7/16 female connector it is mandatory that the
jumper cable meets with the 7/16 female connector of the
TMA straight in line. ress the inner part of the jumper cable
connector into the TMA connector and maintain this pressure
when turning the coupling nut. Hereby the coupling nut will fit
the thread of the female connector correctly and it will run
smoothly. Tighten the coupling nut by hand.
Note: No angular torque from the jumper cable is allowed at
any time.
9. Tighten the connector assembly with 25 Nm (18.4 ft-lb)
torque.
10. Seal all connectors. The tape around the connectors must
connect with the TMA top/bottom connector port bosses for
correct weather protection. See section “Connector Insulation”
details.
