AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 24 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 4.2 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. For the installation of a separate antenna 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). 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: 4.2.1 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 20 – Fixing the front mount antenna to the mounting plate 4.2.2 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 21 –Fitting the Front mount antenna assembly to AirSynergy

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 25 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 4.3 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 4.3.1 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 22 –Fitting the GPS antenna to the mounting bracket 4.3.2 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 23 –GPS antenna cable connected

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 26 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 4.3.3 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 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 24 – Assembling the GPS antenna and bracket assembly to AirSynergy 4.4 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. 4.4.1 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. 4.4.2 Follow the Figure sequence from Figure 25 to Figure 28 for the positioning of the AirSynergy into the mounting bracket slots. Figure 25 – Lift AirSynergy to top of pole-mount plate

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 27 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 Figure 26 – AirSynergy drops down into slots at the top of pole-mount plate Figure 27 – Gently lift the AirSynergy body until the bottom studs engage in the bottom slots Figure 28 – AirSynergy body engaged in the bottom slots

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 28 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 4.4.3 The slot arrangement at the top of the mounting bracket allows the AirSynergy and front mounted antenna to be down-tilted by a few degrees or can be used to compensate for the taper angle or tilt of the actual mounting pole. With the flange nuts gently hand tightened, the position can be accurately set with tilt-meter on the front face of the AirSynergy unit. Figure 29 – AirSynergy downtilt adjustment 4.4.4 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 30 – Tighten flange nuts (4 positions) once the required mounting angle is set

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 29 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 5 Connect and Manage cables 5.1 Fitting the Protection earth cable 5.1.1 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 31– AirSynergy attachment of earthing cable 5.1.2 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 32– Attach earth cable to pole

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 30 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 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

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 32 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 Figure 35 – AirSynergy antenna connections – applying PVC tape Ensure the RF connector is completely sealed from the weather. 5.3 Connect PoE drop cable to the AirSynergy 5.3.1 Plan the position of the drop cable run from the AirSynergy unit to the PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector. The recommended maximum run length is 20m. Uncoil the cable and secure with the metal connector hood just below the AirSynergy unit. Pull back the hinged protective dust cover and insert the PoE connector so that the RJ45 connector engages and the Amphenol hood locks into place with the hinged dust cover. 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. Take care not to displace the square section sealing grommet from its channel at the end of the connector since this is a vital to provide adequate water sealing. Figure 36 – Attach PoE drop cable to the AirSynergy

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 33 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 6 Connect to Power System 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 and PoE injector are: knife, small flat blade screw driver, medium cross-head screw driver, pliers, small side cutters, tweezers (or fine blade long nose pliers) and punch down tool (Krone or similar) Figure 37 – Tools required to connect the PoE injector and PSU 6.1 Run cables from the PoE injector to the AirSynergy 6.1.1 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 cable length from the AirSynergy should be 20m max.) With the PoE injector placed at the selected installation location, trim the cable length so that it will fit neatly to the box 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.

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 34 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 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 PoE and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future. 6.1.2 The Network cable. The remaining section of cable with the RJ45 connector pre-fitted should also be positioned to form the connection to a local network switch. (The length of this run should be limited in length to 5m max.) 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 PoE and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future. 6.1.3 If there is no planned Network connection at the installation site. It is recommended that a 1m cable tail is connected to the PoE injector so that lap top computer or other test equipment can be attached when required. When the installation is complete, the connector at the end of the tail should be taped up with weather-proof tape and the wire neatly coiled and secured in a suitable space next to the PoE injector. Add a label to identify which AirSynergy this network connection belongs to, especially important where multiple AirSynergy units are installed on the same pole/tower. Note: It is good practice to label the network connection cable to identify which AirSynergy unit/PoE injector it is connected to. This is especially important where multiple AirSynergy units are installed on the same pole/tower and the network connection all converge on one Ethernet switch.

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 37 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 6.2.2 The drop cable and network cables must be passed through the correct cable glands in the PoE until 5mm of black outer sheath protrudes into the box. Tighten the gland end caps securely with pliers taking care not to over tighten or damage the plastic. The drop cable from the AirSynergy enters through the gland labelled on the box lid as “POE OUT” and the network connection enters through the gland labelled “Network IN”. The correct orientation of the lid can be checked by lining up the pre-attached earth wire with the gland labelled “Earth”. Figure 43 – View of the PoE injector lid indicating the 4 cable gland positions 6.2.3 Preparing the twisted pairs for punch down. Untwist enough of each colour coded twisted pair of wire so that the individual wires can be laid into the punch down strips. The colour code must be strictly followed and is marked on the PCB legend next to each punch down “slot”. Gently pushing the wires into the slots with a small flat blade screwdriver will help to keep them in the correct position before they are punched down with the punch down tool. The wires must be positions so that the “flying “ end is towards the centre of the PoE box.

Take care to remove all cut-off wire ends from the box and trim off any ends that are not cleanly cut by the punch down tool cutter. Note: : If the protection earth wire (green/yellow stripe) obstructs the punch down tool, then slacken the earth wire gland and pull it through into the box so that a small loop is formed that can be moved away from the punchdown block. When the punchdown work is completed then restore the earth wire to its original position and re-tighten the gland.

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 52 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 9 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 62 - 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 63 - Fitting the stud joining plates

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 53 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 Figure 64 - 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 65 - Mounting method with pole clamps recommended for back to back installations

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 54 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 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 66 - Flatten straps against the mounting plate for back to back installations Figure 67 - Back to Back AirSynergy mounted on pole with 4 mounting straps

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 55 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev A0.41 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. 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 68 – M6 Screw fixing point as safety line anchor point
