AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 24 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 3.2 Fit Front Sector Antenna to AirSynergy The AirSynergy unit can be used either with a sector antenna mounted directly on the front or with a remotely attached RF antenna. This document describes the installation procedure for the front mount antenna (2.x and 3.xGHz bands. For the installation of separate antennas follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions and connect to the AirSynergy using suitable feeder cable tails. (N-Type RF connections should all be weather-proofed). For details for other frequency front mountable antenna variants and front antenna mounting arrangements for double radio units please contact Airspan Product Line Management ) In all cases where a front mount antenna is not fitted a sun shield should be fitted. To mount the front antenna, perform the following steps: 3.2.1 Fit the antenna to the mounting plate. The 4 studs on the back of the antenna pass through the holes on the front face of the mounting plate and secure into position with the 4 sets of M4 nuts and washers (plain + spring) provided in the kit. Carefully position the flying lead RF cables as shown in Figure 20 and secure in place to the eyelets in the back of the mounting plate with cable ties (provided). The cables are formed with a cross-over at the bottom Note: It is recommended to place some cardboard or paper under the unit to protect it from scratching. Figure 23 – Fixing the front mount antenna to the mounting plate 3.2.2 Fit the assembled antenna and mounting plate to the AirSynergy unit using the M5 SEMs (2 each side) and connect the RF cables to the N type RF ports at the top of the AirSynergy. Note: the plate is mounted with the side slots to the top so that the required down-tilt can be set. Figure 24 –Fitting the Front mount antenna assembly to AirSynergy
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 25 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 3.3 Fit GPS Antenna to AirSynergy Note: AirSynergy units without a factory fitted Switched Beam Antenna all require a GPS antenna which comes in a kit with a mounting bracket and a 25cm cable. A prime consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably 360 degrees 3.3.1 Fit the GPS antenna to the mounting bracket supplied in the GPS antenna mounting kit. The large back nut should be tightened with a pipe wrench. Take care not to over tighten on the plastic threads. Figure 25 –Fitting the GPS antenna to the mounting bracket 3.3.2 Fit the short TNC to TNC cable from the GPS antenna to the TNC connector on the top of the AirSynergy Note: For extreme weather conditions weather-proofing of the TNC connections is recommended. This is done with a layer of self-amalgamating tape followed by an over layer of PVC tape. The weather-proofing is best done at this stage to give easier access to the connections Figure 26 –GPS antenna cable connected 3.3.3 Fit the GPS antenna assembly to the body of the AirSynergy using the single M6 screw and lock washer provided in the kit. There is a threaded hole at the top corner of the AirSynergy unit for this purpose. The TNC to TNC cable loop can be gently positioned behind the front mount antenna (or
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 26 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 sunshield) as shown in Figure 24. Weather-proofing tapes (self -amalgamating followed by a layer of black PVC tape) should be applied to the TNC connections. Figure 27 – Assembling the GPS antenna and bracket assembly to AirSynergy 3.4 Secure AirSynergy and Antenna to pole mount plate To mount AirSynergy to the universal mounting plate, perform the following steps: NOTE: If the installation is for a back to back arrangement with 2 AirSynergy units sharing the same mounting bracket refer to additional step in APPENDIX B. 3.4.1 Hook the studs into the top slots of the mounting plate. With the studs engaged in the top slots raise the unit slightly until the bottom studs also drop into their respective slots. Secure the flange nuts (4 positions) with the require degree of down-tilt. 3.4.2 Follow the Figure sequence from Figure 25 to Figure 28 for the positioning of the AirSynergy into the mounting bracket slots. Figure 28 – Lift AirSynergy to top of pole-mount plate

With the flange nuts gently hand tightened, the position can be accurately set with tilt-meter on the front face of the AirSynergy unit.
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 28 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Figure 32 – AirSynergy downtilt adjustment 3.4.4 The down-tilt angles are not marked by the adjustment slots so a tilt-meter is required to set a specific angle, the flange nuts can then be tightened with a 10mm wrench on each stud (4 positions) Figure 33 – Tighten flange nuts (4 positions) once the required mounting angle is set
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 29 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 4 Connect and Manage cables 4.1 Fitting the Protection earth cable 4.1.1 There is an option to connect an earthing cable to the M6 screw fixing point at the bottom of the main body casting. This should be connected to a protection ground bar or clamped directly to the steel structure of the power or pole. This is required in areas of high lightning activity or when the AirSynergy unit is mounted on high exposed roofs or tower structures. A direct earth connection is required for the surge protection devices inside the AirSynergy to be effective. Figure 34– AirSynergy attachment of earthing cable 4.1.2 Connect the earth cable to the protection earth bar using suitable crimp lugs. Alternatively use a clamp to join the earth cable to the steel structure of the mounting pole or tower structure. Figure 35– Attach earth cable to pole
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 30 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Note: When installing a protection earth take care to use suitable metal combinations to avoid or minimize galvanic corrosion. Combinations above the line in the table below should be avoided
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 31 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 4.2 Connecting RF Jumper cables to External Antenna Figure 36 – Connecting the antenna RF cables Caution: Do not over-tighten the RF connector. RF failures can result when the RF connector is over-tightened. Weather-proofing of the RF N type connectors with weather-proofing tapes. (self -amalgamating followed by a layer of black PVC tape. Figure 37 – AirSynergy Front mount antenna connections – applying self -amalgamating tape Apply a layer of self-amalgamating tape and a layer of black electrical tape to the weather-exposed RF connector.
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 32 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Figure 38 – AirSynergy antenna connections – applying PVC tape Ensure the RF connector is completely sealed from the weather. 4.3 Connect Power drop cable to the AirSynergy 4.3.1 Plan the position of the drop cable run from the AirSynergy unit to the Power supply. The standard cable supplied provides for a run length of 30m. (For run lengths greater than 30m please consult Airspan Product Management). Uncoil the cable and secure with the connector hood just below the AirSynergy unit. When securing the cable, make sure that there is no tension on the connector so that it is easy to disconnect and re-connect for maintenance activities in the future. With the pins correctly located, the connector is secured to the unit with a locking ring that is screwed into place. Use firm hand pressure only, the connector has a built in sealing ring. Caution: The internal plastic parts of the mating connector are keyed. Take care to align these by visual inspection or by gently rotating the connector body until the key way sections align and the pins go in before tightening the locking ring. Figure 39 – Attach the power cable to the AirSynergy
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 33 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 5 Power System Connection Caution: 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. Tools Required: The tools required for the connection of the PSU are: knife, small flat blade screw driver (electrical insulated shaft recommended), medium cross-head screw driver, pliers, small side cutters, tweezers (or fine blade long nose pliers) Figure 40 – Tools required to connect the PSU 5.1 Run cables from the PSU to the AirSynergy 5.1.1 The drop cable installation. If the drop cable is to be passed through glands and/or down the centre of a lamp post or other structure, the drop cable can be cut leaving sufficient length for ease of termination. (The typical cable supplied is 30m in length and other length options are available) With the power supply placed at the selected installation location, trim the cable to the length for neat installation while allowing sufficient length to strip and prepare the cable ends. Note: It is good practice to label both ends of the drop cable to identify which AirSynergy unit it is connected to. This is especially important where multiple AirSynergy units are installed on the same pole/tower. Note: It is good practice to leave a spare loop of drop cable (approximately 0.5m of cable). This will allow for ease of wiring to the power supply and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future.
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 34 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 5.1.2 The Network cable. For installations that require a network connection a separate cable must be run to the network Ethernet switch. The standard length of pre-made cable with the weather hood fitted is 30m. For other lengths up to a maximum of 100m cables can be made up on site by fitting the weather hood over the end of the cable before fitting an RJ45 connector. Note: It is good practice to leave a spare loop of network cable (approximately 0.5m of cable). This will allow for ease of wiring to the Network switch and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future. Note: It is good practice to label the network connection cable to identify which AirSynergy unit it is connected to. This is especially important where multiple AirSynergy units are installed on the same pole/tower and the network connections all converge on one Ethernet switch.

AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 49 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Appendix B – Field assembly of Back to back AirSynergy units In cases where 2 AirSynergy radios are to be installed on the same mounting bracket some additional installation steps are required as follows: Removal of the existing stud mounting plates (4 positions) from each AirSynergy unit. Each plate is secured with 2 countersunk head screws. Figure 64 - Removing the existing stud mounting plates Note: The screws should be replaced with a new set of 16 pieces with fresh locking patches on the threads when re-assembling with the joining plates. A new set of screws is supplied with the back to back joining kit. Re-assembly with the joining plates. The studs with flange nuts must all be at the same end. A typical arrangement will be with the AirSynergy with connectorised RF ports to be mounted at the back. The mounting studs will then all be on the sides of the connectorised unit as shown in the figure. Fit all 4 plates to one of the AirSynergy units then slide the 2nd Synergy unit into place between the brackets. Figure 65 - Fitting the stud joining plates
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 50 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Figure 66 - Position back to back assembly on side to tighten all joining plate screws Note: To fully tighten all of the screws it is recommended to place the cardboard packaging or other soft material under the units to protect the painted surfaces Figure 67 - Mounting method with pole clamps recommended for back to back installations
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 51 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Note: To support the additional weight of a back to back system on a single universal mounting plate it is recommended that a pole clamp kit is used (see figure 58) This provides a very strong mounting from a standard telecom tower equipment pole. For larger diameter poles where pole straps are required due to the larger diameter of the pole, it is recommended that 4 straps are used. It is important that pole straps sit flat against the mounting plate as shown in figure 59 Figure 68 - Flatten straps against the mounting plate for back to back installations
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 52 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Figure 69 - Back to Back AirSynergy mounted on pole with 4 mounting straps Mount the assembly on the universal mounting bracket and secure the flange nuts. The GPS antenna and front mount antenna if used can be fitted before or after mounting to the pole depending on ease of access. In cases where no front mount antenna is fitted, an extended sun shield is available as an accessory item and should be fitted. The fitting method is the same as the standard sun shield with 3 fixings on each side of the front AirSynergy unit. Follow the normal procedures for the connection of power supply units and drop cabling to each of the back to back mounted AirSynergy units.
AirSynergy3 Equipment Installation Guide Page 53 | Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-018 Note: When securing back to back assembly to the mounting plate a safety line or rope should be secured to the units. The 6mm tapped holes used for the protection ground at the bottom or the GPS mountings at the top of each Synergy unit provide strong anchor points for a safety line. (This is the same point used for protection ground connection in exposed areas or high lightening risk areas) Figure 70 – M6 Screw fixing point as safety line anchor point
