May 15 Page 14 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
O PERATING T EMPERATURE R ANGE
For the 50 W SD 680 ase Stations, the operating temperature range is: −30 °C to +60 °C (−22 °F to +140
°F) ambient temperature.
The storage temperature range is −40 °C to +80 °C (−40 °F to +176 °F).
Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the air at the intake to the cooling fans.
H
UMIDITY
The humidity should not exceed 95% relative humidity non-condensing through the specified operating
temperature range.
D UST AND D IRT
The SD 680 ase Station has an Ingress Protection rating of IP30, i.e. it provides protection against access
to hazardous parts and the ingress of solid foreign objects >12.5 mm in size.
V ENTILATION
The SD 680 ase Station uses forced air cooling to maintain internal temperatures and adequate cooling
airflow is critical to the performance of the base station. Whether wall mounted or rack mounted, always
ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the base station. The ambient temperature must be kept
within the specified range and it is strongly recommended that the cooling airflow is not restricted.
For the SD 680 ase Station, the essential cooling airflow (recommended <40 °C) enters through one side
of the unit and the hot exhaust air exits at the rear of the unit. For optimal thermal performance, heated air
that has passed through the base station must not be allowed to re-enter the air intakes of the unit.
At least 72 cm
2
of ventilation MUST be provided for each base station at the inlet AND at the outlet.
In order to allow enough airflow through a rack mounted base station, it is recommended that:
•
A minimum distance of 5 cm clearance to any obstruction at the front of the unit.
• A minimum distance of 10 cm clearance to any obstruction at the rear of the unit.
• An open area of at least 50 cm
2
per tray of ventilation slots or louvres in front of the air intakes for the
fans of each unit; e.g. ten 6 x 85 mm slots will allow the recommended airflow.
• An open area of at least 50 cm
2
per tray of ventilation slots or louvres to the rear of each tray or in the
top of the rack.
•
A 2U gap at the top of the rack.
Note.
The ventilation openings must be unrestricted. If the openings are covered with a filter or grille, the
open area must be increased in order to provide the same airflow as unrestricted openings.
If the SD 680 ase Station is installed in a rack or cabinet with other equipment that has different
ventilation requirements, it is recommended that the SD 680 be positioned below this equipment.
If multiple bases are fitted in a rack, auxiliary extractor fans may be required to ensure that adequate cooling
is provided.
If any other configuration is employed, the performance of the system will depend on how closely you
comply with the airflow requirements described above.

SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046
May 15 Page 15 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
In a wall mount installation, it is recommended that at least 20 cm of clear space is allowed above and below
the equipment for ventilation.
Equipment rooms as a whole should be checked for adequate ventilation so that they do not overheat.
Correct operation of internal fans should be checked prior to completion of the installation.
Any secondary ventilation equipment (rack fans, grills etc.) should be checked for correct operation and to
ensure that they are free from blockage. Filters are not recommended on enclosures unless they can be
regularly maintained.
MOUNTING LOCATION
A clean and dry location that meets the above ventilation requirements should be chosen for mounting the
equipment. The unit should not be sited where it will be exposed to long periods of direct sunlight.
Provision should be made for bringing the antenna feeder(s), IP cables, station earth and the AC and/or DC
supply leads to the installation. These cables must be firmly anchored, in accordance with good installation
practice and comply with all local mandatory wiring requirements.
W ALL M OUNT
When installing the wall mount unit, it is essential that the vertical surface chosen for the positioning of the
equipment is of a solid construction as the weight of the SD 680 ase Station can be as much as 10 kg when
fully equipped.

SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046
May 15 Page 16 POWER SUPPLIES
POWER SUPPLIES
For type approval reasons, this product should not be operated with unapproved supplies.
The equipment must be installed so that the IEC connector for the Wall or Rack Mount can be easily
removed and/or the power socket should be readily accessible.
Mains protective Earth should be checked for low impedance (<0. Ω).
All mains wiring must comply with local wiring regulations.
P OWER S UPPLY O PTIONS
The SD 680 ase Station is only available as a DC version, which uses an external DC power source. The
PSU tray can be used to supply the DC voltage required.
The switch mode supplies used in the wall mount and rack mount ancillaries are able to accept mains AC
voltage in the range of 85 V to 265 V @ 1.9 A, 47 Hz to 63 Hz. The output from the switched mode power
supply to the SD 680 ase Station is +14.0 Voltage Direct Current (VDC).
PSU T
RAY
The PSU Tray can be either a 1U or 2U rack tray with a front panel and is designed for use with an SD 680
ase Station in an enclosed 19” rack. Together, an SD 680 ase Station and the PSU Tray occupy a total of
either 3U or 4U of rack space.
The tray is supplied complete with a universal power supply, which can accept an IEC input of 100 V to 240
V AC (Voltage Alternating Current), at 50/60 Hz suitable for a single SD 680 ase Station. The voltage
range appropriate to the area of use is selectable on the universal PSU.
AC P
OWER
C
ORD
A 2 m long cable is used to connect the AC Mains Supply to the PSU tray in the rack mount. An appropriate
version of power cord, relevant to the area of use, is supplied with the PSU Tray. Relevant areas of use are
as follows:
United Kingdom.
Rest of Europe.
United States.

May 15 Page 17 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This section gives an overview of the external connections that are made to the SD 680 ase Station. It also
provides details of the pin-outs for these connections.
G ENERAL
All cabling should be installed so that the equipment can be accessed for servicing purposes without
straining the cables or connectors used.
Where equipment is rack mounted, cables must be run so that the unit can be fully withdrawn on its runners
without straining, catching or pinching any of the cables.
Cables should be dressed into cable trays etc where available and run so as to reduce likelihood of damage
from vermin or adverse environments.
Multi-strand wires must be used wherever the wire will be flexed by accessing the equipment.

The Tx antenna connection on the SD 680 ase Station is provided with a 50 Ω female N-type socket,
while for the Rx antenna connection a 50 Ω female ayonet Neill-Concelman ( NC) socket is used.
The Tx antenna cable connections must be made with 50 Ω N-type on flexible tails. The Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio (VSWR) of the Tx and Rx connections should be tested prior to use by using of a suitable test
set, e.g. an Anritsu/Wiltron S331A. A VSWR of 1.5:1 or better at the relevant Tx and Rx frequencies should
be ensured.
Mating connectors should be galvanically compatible with nickel outer and gold centre pin to minimise
passive intermodulation.

SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046
May 15 Page 18 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A minimum of 85 d transmit-receive isolation should be provided by the antenna system and associated
