l
If the areas where RF radiation exceeds the stipulated value are accessible to workers, ensure that workers know where these areas are. They can shut down the transmitters before entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but if they exist, the areas must be within a range of less than 10 m around the antennas. Each forbidden zone should be indicated by a physical barrier and striking sign to warn the public or workers.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with unaided eyes. Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters the eye, the retina may be damaged. Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end. Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l l l l
Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation. Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers. Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors. Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot ensure that the optical source is switched off. To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter. Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not exposed to laser radiation. Never use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to look into the optical fiber connector or end.
l l
Read the following instructions before handling optical fibers:

l l
Only the trained personnel can cut and splice optical fibers. Before cutting or splicing an optical fiber, ensure that the optical fiber is disconnected from the optical source. After disconnecting the optical fiber, use protecting caps to protect all the optical connectors.

l l l
Location Requirements of the Satellite Antenna
This part describes location requirements of the satellite antenna under different installation environments.
General Requirements
The satellite antenna should be installed in the open air, without obstacles within the angle of 80 from the top of the antenna. The antenna should be installed away from high buildings. If the antenna is installed on the rooftop, it should be away from ancillary buildings on the roof. The platform for installing the satellite antenna should have a large available area, and the visual angle should be greater than 90, as shown in Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1 Location of the antenna
(1) Surrounding obstacles (such as buildings)

l
(2) GPS antenna
When there are obstacles such as high-rise buildings or mountains, stick to the following principles:

At least 50% of the total sky area should be visible above the satellite antenna. If the antenna is installed in the northern hemisphere, the antenna should face south. If the antenna is installed in the southern hemisphere, the antenna should face north.
The antenna should be installed away from the main lobe of mobile communication antenna, microwave antennas, high-voltage cables, and strong radiation of a TV
Issue 03 (2008-04-30)
transmission station. Install the antenna away from high-power transmitters, intrafrequency interference, and strong electromagnetic interference.
l
The lightning protection system, such as a lightning rod, should be prepared for the antenna. Keep the antenna 2 m [6.56 ft] or more away from the lightning rod. If the antenna is installed on a tower, the antenna should be placed within the coverage area of the lightning rod. The coverage area refers to the area that falls within the angle of 45 from the top of the lightning rod. In areas prone to thunderstorms (more than 20 thunderstorm days every year), the coverage area is reduced to an area that falls within the angle of 30 from the top of the lightning rod.
CAUTION
Keep the antenna away from the following:
l l l l l l
High-voltage power cable High-power transmitter Coverage area of microwave signals from a microwave antenna Strong radiation of a TV transmission station Intra-frequency interference or strong electromagnetic interference Close-range radiation of the main lobe of the antenna for mobile communications
Location Requirements of the GPS Antenna Installed on the Rooftop

Figure 4-2 shows the installation positions of a GPS antenna on the rooftop to receive satellite signals in a more effective way. In Figure 4-2, positions 1, 2, 3, 4 are preferred. It is better not to install a GPS antenna in positions 5 and 6. You should install the antenna within the coverage area of the lightning rod according to the lightning protection, as shown in Figure 4-2. Stick to the following principles when you install the GPS antenna on the rooftop:
l
Install the antenna at the center of the rooftop rather than on the enclosure around the rooftop. Do not install the antenna at the corners of the rooftop, as the corners of the rooftop are prone to be stricken by the lightning. If there is a metal tower on the top of the building, do not install the antenna on the metal tower.
4-2
Issue 03 (2008-04-30)
Figure 4-2 Positions for installing a GPS antenna on the rooftop
Figure 4-3 shows the positions for installing a GPS antenna when there is a metal tower on the rooftop. In Figure 4-3, positions 1 and 2 are preferred. It is better not to install a GPS antenna in positions 3 or 4.
Issue 03 (2008-04-30)
4-3
Figure 4-3 Positions for installing a GPS antenna when a metal tower is on the rooftop
Location Requirements of the GPS Antenna Installed in a Complicated Electromagnetic Environment

Stick to the following principles when you install a GPS antenna in a complicated electromagnetic environment:
l
Install the GPS antenna above the microwave antenna (if any) to avoid the main lobe radiation from vertical or tilt transmitting. If the GPS antenna cannot be installed in a high position, keep the GPS antenna away from the microwave antenna. The spacing between the two antennas must be at least 10 times larger than the wavelength of the transmit signal.
4-4
Issue 03 (2008-04-30)

l
Install the GPS antenna away from the transmit direction of the round satellite communication antenna (if any). If there is a receive antenna nearby, keep the GPS antenna away from the receive antenna at least one wavelength. For example, if there are two GPS antennas to be installed nearby, the spacing between the two GPS antennas must be 0.5 m [1.64 ft] or more. Do not install the GPS antenna under the main lobe of a microwave antenna, under highvoltage cables, or near a TV transmission station.
Figure 4-4 shows the positions for installing a GPS antenna when it is installed in a complicated electromagnetic environment. Positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are preferred. It is better not to install a GPS antenna in positions 5, 6, or 7. Figure 4-4 Positions for installing a GPS antenna in a complicated electromagnetic environment
Location Requirements of the GPS Antenna Installed in the Rural Area

The mini base station is usually installed on a pole when the system is located in a rural area. In this case, the GPS antenna can receive good satellite signals, especially when it is installed on the top of a hill. The GPS antenna, however, must be protected against the lightning. Installing the GPS antenna in high position can easily damage the GPS antenna and GPS receiver. When the GPS feeder is routed along a metal pole, the feeder is conductive to the lightning surge which is released through the pole. This may damage the GPS antenna and GPS receiver.
Figure 4-5 shows the positions for installing a GPS antenna when the base station is installed on a pole. In Figure 4-5, positions 1 and 2 are preferred. It is better not to install the antenna in positions 3 or 4.
CAUTION
In Figure 4-5, the spacing between the GPS antenna and the base station must be less than 2 m [6.56 ft] vertically when the GPS antenna is installed in position 2.
