7.4 Install GPS Antenna
Checkpoint: If the HiperMAX-micro GPS is specified for this installation, follow
this instruction. Otherwise exit this instruction and proceed to the next one.
7.4.1 Install GPS antenna for HiperMAX-micro
SDR-micros that have the GPS option have a GPS antenna and four metres of
cable included.
Install the GPS antenna for the HiperMAX-micro using a 4 m standard cable and optional pole mount
bracket.
The first consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably 360 degrees. In the
usual installation, the GPS antenna is located low and close to the equipment building roof. The GPS
antenna should be attached to a suitable mast and connected at the base of the SDR-micro.
Use the guidance below to find the optimal position for mounting the GPS antenna:
a) The antenna must be mounted in an upward position.
b) The antenna should be installed at the highest possible point available at the site. This is to ensure
minimum obstruction from any surrounding obstacles (trees, buildings or other installations, etc.).
c) To avoid influence of reflected waves, the antenna must not be installed less than 2m away from
metallic objects with a dimension greater then 20 cm.
HiperMAX Masthead Equipment Installation Guide
Page 36 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D00093 Rev A.1
d) Antenna installation should be avoided in close proximity with other receivers or transmitters likely
to cause interference.
e) The antenna should be positioned to minimise the risk of a lightning strike. See Lightning
Protection Overview for guidance on placement.
f) The antenna should be placed within 4 metres of the SDR-micro.
7.4.2 Install GPS antenna for HiperMAX ATCA
Install the GPS antenna for the HiperMAX ATCA using a 16 m standard cable and optional pole
mount bracket.
The first consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably 360 degrees. The
GPS antenna should be attached to a suitable mast.
Use the guidance below to find the optimal position for mounting the GPS antenna:
a) The antenna must be mounted in an upward position.
b) The antenna should be installed at the highest possible point available at the site. This is to ensure
minimum obstruction from any surrounding obstacles (trees, buildings or other installations, etc.).
c) To avoid influence of reflected waves, the antenna must not be installed less than 2m away from

8 Connect to Power System
Hazardous voltage! Before working, ensure that the power is removed from the
power connection cables. When the system is powered on, do not touch the
power terminals.
8.1 Power Output to SCRT
Each SCRT is provided with various lengths 48 volt power cable terminated with a male connector at
one end and a female connector at the other.
Warning: The male connector attaches to the SDR and the female connector
attaches to the SCRT. It is important that the power connector is attached at the
correct end (see illustration below) or damage to the connector/equipment will
result.
8.2 Run cables to SCRTs connectorised at both ends
Use this procedure to terminate the DC supply for the SCRT at the -48VDC source when using
connectorised DC cable parts.
PWR-10-INST-1
PWR-30-INST-1
PWR-100-INST-1 (if using this cable the supply must be sufficient to ensure -40.5 volts are
available at the SCRT)
Some implementations of HiperMAX use connectorised 48V UL1015 DC cables. These same cables
are used for HiperMAX-micro where both the connectorised ends are used. When using these cables
for HiperMAX, however, the connectorised end at the 48VDC Source (labelled SDR) has to be
removed to allow for a wires only termination.
Conventional power wiring within the 48VDC Source uses blue for 48V negative and black for 48V
positive.
The SDR-micro uses black for 48V negative and white for return, and there is a
possibility that the wires could be incorrectly terminated when used on HiperMAX.
This can result in permanent damage to the SCRT.
The correct termination is cited below.
To run cables to SCRTs connectorised at both ends, perform the following steps:
HiperMAX Masthead Equipment Installation Guide
Page 40 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D00093 Rev A.1
1. Run cable from the SCRT to the DC source breakers. (The DC source end is labelled SDR.)
2. Cut off the connector at the end labelled SDR. The picture below shows the SDR end.
Figure 25 – HiperMAX-micro power connector cable termination
3. Connect to the 48VDC source distribution panel as shown in the table below:
4. Do not apply power to the SCRT until the commissioning stage.

9.2 Secure Fibre-optic Cable
The Milli-Tie can be used to secure cables in the same manner as normally used for nylon straps.
The steps below show the basic use of the product.
Over-tightening of cable ties may causes damage and degrade system
performance.
To secure fibre-optic cables, perform the following steps:
1. Place the Millie-Tie around the target, and thread the tongue through the last large aperture in
the rearmost cell.
Figure 26 – HiperMAX secure fibre-optic cable, place tie
2. Pull or slide the Millie-Tie onto the target. Note that the Millie Tie stretches to cushion the
installation.

Page 43 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D00093 Rev A.1
Figure 27 – HiperMAX secure fibre-optic cable, pull tie
3. Release the tension when snug, then cut and remove any excess strip. Always cut through
the square sections, not the wider cells.
Figure 28 – HiperMAX secure fibre-optic cable, snug tie
Millie-Tie is efficient, and simply gets a little shorter after each use. The remaining
strip can be kept and reused.
