Safety Precautions
WORKING ON THE BUILDINGS ROOF

During stormy weather, do not perform any mechanical assembly or
antenna beaming works on the buildings roof.
The metal structure of towers/ masts is prone to lightning.
PLUGGING/ UNPLUGGING COAXIAL CONNECTORS

Never plug (or unplug) the connector of the coaxial IF cables from the
outdoor transceiver boxes (BRBs), when the respective indoor equipment
is powered on and operating.
There is risk of equipment failure and/ or electrical shock, as the IF cable carries
the DC operating voltage (-48 V) for the outdoor transceiver.
Before plugging or unplugging the IF cable in/ from the BRB box, you must first
extract or shut down the respective interconnected indoor unit.
PROPER GROUNDING
Ensure the effectiveness of the construction of the grounding system
before powering up the WiBAS equipment at the Base Station.
In case of inappropriate grounding system, there is risk of equipment failure and/
or electrical shock.
Ensure that the outdoor grounding system measures a path resistance of < 3 .

BS configuration data (number of sectors, redundancy of units, etc.)
19
Site Prerequisites, Continued
Outdoor
grounding
system
A dedicated, low-resistance grounding system (typically < 3 ) is required.

A grounding point (designated GND) should be located close to the mounting
position of the BRB radio boxes.
Each BRB will be connected to this grounding point, via the supplied
grounding cable. This will provide protection of the equipment against
harmful lightning conditions.
Coaxial cables
The coaxial cables, connecting the indoor units with the outdoor BRB boxes,
should be of coaxial 75-ohm type.
The maximum length of these cables depends on their quality and the
degradation that they impose to the IF signal.
Typical lengths are 145 m, using low-loss coaxial cable (RG-11)
NOTE
Proximity to
GSM (2G / 3G)
installations
Under no circumstance should the total attenuation (imposed by

the coaxial cable itself) exceed 15 dB.
GSM Cables:
The WiBAS coaxial cables must be spaced from neighboring GSM cables
and antennas for at least 30cm. This guideline mainly refers to the RG-6
cable, of which the screening effectiveness may severely be deteriorated if
not properly rolled out. Therefore, the use of RG-11 type is highly
recommended.
As a general rule, the close proximity with the GSM cables should be
avoided (wherever this is possible). The more distance the WiBAS cables
are running in parallel with the GSM cables, the higher the amount of
interference that will be collected.
The cable must be in good condition, without any visible breakings or
deterioration and properly terminated, as instructed in this manual.
Also, extra care must be taken during the cable unrolling from the bin, as
accidental twists may affect cables performance.
GSM Antennas:
When WiBAS and GSM equipment is to be collocated, BRB must be
installed on the same pole / mast, below or above the neighboring GSM
antennas and at a distance no less than 4 m.
If a different pole / mast is the only option, then the BRB should be installed
in such a way that it is located outside the -20 dB radiation pattern of all
neighboring 2G / 3G antennas, with a minimum horizontal distance of 4 m
between the pole (where the BRB and the BRA are installed) and the poles
accommodating GSM antennas.
20
Site Prerequisites, Continued
Premises
requirements
The outdoor equipment, inclusive of the BRBs, should be mounted on a

mast or on a tower.
The mast, onto which a BRB system is to be mounted, should be perfectly
perpendicular to allow correct alignment of the antenna.
For wall mounting installation:
The wall-mounting surface should be cement or brick masonry.
The holes, required for inserting the wall plugs (upats), should be drilled
at positions where no built-in cables are running.
Each antenna should point toward the covered geographical sector,
according to the planned co-ordinates. No obstacles should exist within the
antennas beaming lobes.
Access to the installation premises must be facilitated during the installation
period.
The roof must be engineered to bear the weight of the service personnel
and the outdoor equipment.
Appropriate cable conduits should exist for the routing of installed cables,
inclusive of the coaxial IF cable(s) connecting the indoor equipment with
the outdoor BRB boxes on the buildings roof.

The latter should be spaced from the BRA no more than 1.20m and should
always have a Minimum Bend Radius (MBR) of 30mm.
Introduction
This section concerns the installation of the terminated cables, coaxial and
BRB BRA interconnection cables, onto the BRB.
NOTE
After completing the termination and installation of the coaxial

cable at the Base Station, it is strongly recommended to place
appropriate adhesive labels at both ends of the cable, for easy
identification of the assigned sector at any time.
44
Connecting the Cables to the BRB, Continued
Procedure
To install the terminated coaxial cable (RG-11) onto the BRB, proceed as
follows:
Step
Action
Using the appropriate ratchet spanner(1), install the F-type

connector of the terminated coaxial cable onto the BRBs mating
F-type receptacle. To locate, refer to picture on page 25.
Apply a maximum tightening torque of 4.4 Nm.
The other end of the cable would be connected to the WiBAS
indoor system.
NOTE
The BRA-BRB interconnection cable is

terminated to a male N-Type connector at
both ends.
Using the appropriate ratchet spanner(2), install the N-Type

connector of the BRB BRA interconnection cable onto the
BRBs mating N-Type receptacle (see photo below).
Apply a maximum tightening torque of 1.1 Nm.
Connect the other end of the cable to the mating N-Type
receptor on the BRA.

Procedure
(continued)
Step
Action
Use electrical tape (see Tools, Kits & Accessories page 16 item
2) and wrap around the entire area around the termination.
Tightly apply sufficient length of tape.
Wrap the whole connector until is totally covered.
46

Procedure
(continued)
Step
Action
Use the rubber-tape (see Tools, Kits & Accessories page 16 item
3) and cover the entire termination area over the applied
electrical tape.
NOTE
It is advised to use a small screwdriver in order

to keep the rubber tape always stretched.
47

Procedure
(continued)
Step
6
Action
Finally, apply a second layer of electrical tape to complete the
protection of the connection.
To insulate the N-Type connector of the BRB - BRA

interconnection cable at both ends (i.e onto the BRB and the
BRA), precede following the steps 3 to 6 of the previouslydescribed procedure.
End of procedure.
48
Fastening Cables
Introduction
NOTE
Prior of fastening the cables on the pole, you should have

installed the BRA on the pole according to the instructions
supplied with the BRA.
This procedure concerns the fastening of cables when BRB and BRA are
installed on a pole / mast.
Procedure
Step
Action
Neatly arrange the coaxial cable (1), the grounding cable (2) and
the BRB-BRA interconnection cable (3) as shown below, always
maintaining a safe radius for the coaxial cable during
bending:
Secure both cables on the pole with cable ties (4) found in the
packaging of BRB.
End of procedure.
