1.3 Installation Precautions


The following precautions must be noted for hardware installation:

l Non-professionals should not install or debug the system unless they are instructed
by professionals on the site.
l Installation personnel must be very careful of personal safety, and avoid accidents
such as electric shocks or personal injury due to falling objects.
l To avoid eye injury caused by laser beams, installation personnel must not directly
look at the cross-section of any optical fiber or the socket of an optical terminal during
the installation of optical fibers.
l Replacing any part or a device might result in unexpected dangers. Therefore,
replacement of any part or a device can be implemented only after authorization is
acquired.
l To ensure your safety, contact ZTE Corporation if you have any question.

3.1 Cable Installation Requirements


The following lists the cable installation requirements:
l In the equipment room where support and static floor are installed, all cables can be
routed in downward cabling mode, that is, cables are routed from the in-between floor
or a cable trough. If cables are routed in upward cabling mode, a cable rack must be
paved above the cabinet, and cables are routed through the cable rack.
l Before leading the outdoor cable into the equipment room, a waterproof bend must
be made.
l The cable layout position must be designed in advance, and all cables must be in
good condition and routed in order.
l External cables include the power cable, tail fiber, trunk cable, and other signal cables.
Cables in the cable rack must be bundled by category, and cannot be crossed. The
cables must be fixed by cable ties, with a spacing of 1 m – 1.5 m between each other.
l All cables must not be spiral.
l Cable bendings must be smooth and round, and the minimum bending radius is not
less than 60 mm.
l Cables must be bundled tidily and straightly, with appropriate tension and even
spacing between cable ties. The surplus cable part must be cut off, leaving no sharp
edge.
l Cables routed in a cable trough can be loose, but must be straight and not crossed,
and the cables cannot go beyond the cable trough. Cables must be bundled at the
cable trough's entry/exit and where cables are bent.
l The trunk cables that are routed from the cabinet to the relay rack cannot be pulled
tightly, and the extra cables should not be cut off. Cables routed in a cable trough or
on the raised floor must be bundled separately, and must be straight and not crossed.
After being routed, the cables must be tidy and in good condition, and sufficient margin
should be reserved as required.

Appendix B
Installing Antenna
This installation of antenna has two manners: left installation and right installation, see
Figure B-1.
User can choose one manner based on the installation site and circuit design. Only
antenna right installation is introduced herein. The left installation is similar to the right
installation.

Figure B-1 Manners of Antenna Installation

Steps
1. (Optional) Install the anti-fall clamp to the pole.

Note:

If there is no anti-fall clamp, go to Step 2.

2. Install the hanging bracket to the pole, see Figure B-2.

C.1 Adjusting the Polarization Mode of an Antenna


This procedure describes how to adjust the polarization mode of an antenna.

Context
A feeder provides two polarization modes:
l Vertical polarization (see Figure C-1)

The polarization arrow on the feeder is aligned with the mark "V" on the antenna.

Steps
1. Loosen the four screws on the feeder.

2. Rotate the feeder by 90° clockwise, see Figure C-3.

Note:
Adjustment from horizontal polarization to vertical polarization is made in the same
way. The adjustment requirements depend on the actual circuit on site.

C.2 Adjusting the Antenna Azimuth


This procedure describes how to adjust the antenna azimuth.

Context
l The antenna azimuth can be finely adjusted in a range of ±15°.
l If this range is not big enough for actual applications, users can change the position
of the anti-falling angle steel before adjusting the azimuth. In that case, a U-clamp
must be used to fix the bracket.
l Figure C-4 and Figure C-5 show the installation components used for azimuth
adjustment of an antenna.

1. Setting screw 2. Reinforcing rod

Steps
1. Make a coarse adjustment of the antenna azimuth.
a. Remove the azimuth fine-adjustment screw and the bracket fastening bolt.
b. Loosen the nut on the U-clamp and the setting screw on the reinforcing rod slightly.
c. Push the antenna or reinforcing rod gently, and adjust the antenna azimuth around
the pole.

Warning!
During the adjustment, make sure that the bracket does not fall from the anti-falling
angle steel to avoid any accident.

2. Roughly determine the antenna azimuth visually or with a compass according to the
circuit design.
3. Fasten all the components that were loosened during the adjustment.
4. Install and fasten the azimuth fine-adjustment screw and the bracket fastening bolt.

C.3 Adjusting the Antenna Pitch Angle


By adjusting the pitch angle of an antenna, the AOU receiving level can be adjusted.

For the relationship between the AOU receiving level and the measuring voltage level, see
Figure C-6.
