Introduction
Maximum Output TX Power
MicroMAX Maximum Output TX Power
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
MicroMAX is a highly upgradeable Micro-cell base station, based on the Sequans System On a Chip
(SOC), with a pole/roof (wall) mounted radio system and antennae. This high performance chip can
support up to 28 + 28 MHz channels (full duplex) forms part of the AS.MAX portfolio of WiMAX
network infrastructure equipment. It is compatible with the Airspan EasyST and ProST subscriber
terminals and other manufacturer's CPEs that are fully WiMAX compliant.
The MicroMAX BSR is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. The BSR provides
a wireless link with subscribers and interfaces with the provider's backbone. The MicroMAX BSR is
available in two models. These models differ by antenna design (providing integral flat-panel
antennas, or an N-type port for attaching third-party external antennas). MicroMAX BSR is available
in numerous frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see:
MicroMAX Frequency Ranges.
The BSR connects to the indoor Ethernet switch by a CAT-5e cable, which carries the Ethernet
signal, and DC power. For a MicroMAX Base Station consisting of multiple BSRs, there are two (2)
options. The BSRs can be connected to individual Subscriber Data Adapters (SDA-4S) or to Base
Station Distribution Units (BSDU). For a Base Station consisting of a single BSR, the BSR typically
connects to a single Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA-4S or SDA-4SDC).
MicroMAX BSR provides a low cost, high-performance point-to multipoint packet-based Broadband
Wireless Access (BWA) solution. MicroMAX BSR Provides wireless connectivity designed to deliver
high-speed data, voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia services to residential, SOHO (Small
Office/Home Office), and SME (Small to Medium Enterprises).
The MicroMAX is an encased outdoor radio providing access to the MicroMAX's communication ports
on its bottom panel. The MicroMAX's back panel provides holes for mounting.
MicroMAX BSR interfaces with the service provider's backbone through either:
The SDA-4S Type II or the SDA-4SDC (referred henceforth as SDA-4S) integrated LAN
switches.
SDA-4S Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT ports
for interfacing with the subscriber’s network
SDA-4SDC Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT
interfaces and especially designed for implementation where available power supply is
DC (10 to 52 VDC), e.g. from a solar panel. This model provides regulated –48 VDC
power to the BSR.
Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) - provides an interface between multiple BSRs
and the service provider's backbone.
MicroMAX can be managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP
OpenView can also manage the MicroMAX using these MIBs. Basic management can be performed
using any standard Web browser.
Note; for management refer to MicroMAX Web Management documentation.

Radio Site Planning
Proper site selection and planning before installing your MicroMAX will ensure a successful
deployment of your AS.MAX system. A summary of the main site planning considerations is
provided below:
Minimum obstructions (e.g. buildings) in the radio path between base station and the
subscriber terminals
Mount radio as high as possible to avoid obstructions in the wireless path
Check possibility of future obstructions such as plans to erect buildings and trees that may
grow tall enough to obstruct the wireless path
Align radio for maximizing received signal strength (RSS)
Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade performance of radio
Mount radio as far from sources of interference as possible
Ensure base station and subscriber terminals (i.e ProST/EasyST) are within maximum
coverage range of reception
Maximum standard CAT-5e cable length connecting the MicroMAX to the indoor SDA-4S or
BSDU is 100 meters
Ensure that you have sufficient wiring conduit and cable ties to channel and protect the CAT
5e cable connecting the outdoor MicroMAX to the indoor SDA-4S
Radio Antenna Alignment
ProST
Once the subscriber unit (i.e. ProST) is installed and aimed in the general direction of the
BSR, it is recommended to measure the received signal strength (RSS) to determine the
signal strength received from the BSR, and to precisely align the ProST for maximum signal
strength.
You need to orientate (up/down, left/right) the ProST until the maximum RSSI levels are
achieved, and then secure the ProST.
EasyST
Once the subscriber unit (i.e. EasyST) is installed and aimed in the general direction of the
BSR, simply move the EasyST to the position that gives optimal reception.

MOUNTING THE BASE STATION RADIO (BSR)
Mounting the MicroMAX
The MicroMAX BSR can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted (optional). Pole mounting allows the BSR
to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna
alignment.
For either mounting method, the MicroMAX provides mounting holes (displayed in the figure below),
molded into its back panel for attaching the mounting brackets.
Note: The BSR fully complies with IP Code - IPX6 for product enclosure protection.
Warning: The BSR device is an outdoor radio unit, and therefore, must only be
mounted outside.
Warning: Mount the MicroMAX in an orientation such that its ports (located on the
bottom panel) faces downwards. This prevents rain water from settling on the ports, and
thereby, avoiding damage to the unit such as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting.
Note: The standard BSR kit, provides pole-mounting brackets. If you want to wall-mount
the MicroMAX, contact your Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of wall-mounting
brackets.
Pole-Mounting the BSR
Pole mounting allows the MicroMAX to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical
(elevation) planes for antenna alignment. The BSR is mounted using the mounting holes located on
the BSR's back panel and the supplied pole-mounting brackets. The pole-mounting bracket is
designed to support the BSR on a round pole of 45 mm in diameter.
The figure below summarizes of the MicroMAX's pole-mounting procedure.
28
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR)
To pole mount the MicroMAX BSR:
1.
Attach the mounting bracket to the MicroMAX:
a.
Align the mounting bracket with the MicroMAX's mounting holes so that the mounting
bracket's side with the built-in nut is aligned with the BSR's mounting holes furthest
from the MicroMAX's bottom panel, as shown in the figure below.
b.
Slide an M10-flat washer and M10-spring lock washer onto an M10-hex head screw
(ensure spring lock washer is closest to the bolt's head). From the external side, insert
the M10-hex head screw through the mounting bracket and MicroMAX's mounting
holes. Fasten the M10-hex head screw (one is provided with a built-in nut while the
other requires you to insert an M10-hex nut into the MicroMAX's mounting hole).
29
605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
2.
30
Attach the clamping bracket to the mounting bracket:
a.
Slide an M6-spring lock washer onto an M6-hex head screw. Align the mounting
bracket's and clamping bracket's pivot holes, such that the clamping bracket is aligned
to the inside of the mounting bracket. From the external side of the mounting bracket,
insert the M6-hex head screw into the pivot holes and then fasten, but not tightly. (The
clamping bracket provides a built-in nut.)
b.
Choose an elevation hole on the mounting bracket and then align it with the
corresponding hole on the clamping bracket. Slide an M6-spring lock washer onto an
M6-hex head screw, and then from the external side of the mounting bracket, insert
the M6-hex head screw through the elevation hole on the mounting bracket and into
the clamping bracket's corresponding hole. Fasten but not tightly the M6-hex head
screw (the clamping bracket provides built-in nut). The elevation hole can later be
changed according to desired antenna orientation in the elevation plane.
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR)
3.
4.
Attach the U-bolt to the pole:
a.
Place one U-bolt around the pole, and then insert the U-bolt screw side through the
two corresponding holes (horizontally parallel) on the clamping bracket. Slide an M8flat washer and M8-spring lock washer onto each U-bolt screw side (ensure that the flat
washer is adjacent to the clamping bracket). Fasten each U-bolt side with the two M8hex nuts.
b.
Attach the second U-bolt as described above.
Perform final MicroMAX orientation:
a.
Adjust the vertical position of the MicroMAX by choosing a final elevation hole as
described in Step 2. Lock the MicroMAX at the desired position by inserting the locking
bolt in the desired position and fastening it tightly. Fasten tightly the bolt in the pivot
hole. The figure below illustrates the angles (in degrees) of each elevation hole. As
31
605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
shown, the MicroMAX pole-mounting bracket allows elevation between -18.5° and
26.3°.
b.
Adjust the horizontal position of the MicroMAX by rotating it about the pole, and then
tightening the nuts of the U-bolts.
Note: A thread-locking compound must be used to prevent the bolts from working loose.
MicroMAX positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly as
shown below.
It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for Cat-5 cables. Create a drip loop and strain
relief using cable tie, to tie cable to pole, as displayed in the figure below:
32
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR)
Wall-Mounting the BSR (Optional)
Note: The standard BSR kit provides pole-mounting brackets. If you want to wall-mount
the MicroMAX BSR contact your Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of wall-mounting
brackets.
Note: A minimum of 3-meter separation is required between mounted MicroMAX's and
existing customer radio equipment when transmitting on different sectors (see figure below).
However, only a 1-meter separation is required between MicroMAX's when on the same sector
and transmitting to the same base station radio without requiring shielding.
The figure below illustrates the minimum separation between mounted MicroMAX's when
transmitting on different sectors:
MicroMAX wall mounting consists of two main stages:
Attaching the mounting bracket to the MicroMAX's mounting holes
Attaching the mounting bracket (already attached to the MicroMAX) to the wall (or
pole)
To wall mount the MicroMAX:
1.
Position the unassembled mounting bracket on the mounting surface (e.g. wall), and then
use a pencil to mark the position of the four mounting holes. Ensure that the distance
between the hole centers are 120 mm (height) and 60 mm (width), as displayed in the
figure below showing the MicroMAX's fixing dimensions.
33
605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
2.
Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above.
3.
Insert wall anchors (not supplied) into each of the drilled holes.
4.
Align the mounting bracket's four holes with the wall anchors, and then insert a screw (not
supplied) through the mounting bracket holes into each wall anchor, and then tighten.
Note: Airspan does not provide screws for attaching the mounting bracket to the wall. The
screw size depends on the structure of the building to which the bracket is to be attached.
When selecting screw sizes, consideration must be given to the weight of the MicroMAX and
load that may be induced in windy conditions.
34
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR)
5.
Attach the MicroMAX to the mounting bracket by performing the following:
a.
Slide an M10-spring lock washer and then an M10-plain washer onto each M10-hex
head screw (ensure lock washer is nearest to head of screw bolt).
b.
Align the mounting bracket's holes with the MicroMAX's mounting holes as displayed
below. (The mounting bracket side that provides a groove for inserting a nut must be
aligned with the MicroMAX's mounting hole that is nearest to the MicroMAX's bottom
panel.)
c.
From the external sides, insert the M10-hex head screws through the mounting
bracket's holes and MicroMAX's mounting holes. Loosely fasten with the M10-hex nuts.
35
605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
6.
Adjust the horizontal positioning of the MicroMAX (see "Web-Based Management" for
MicroMAX antenna alignment using RSS measurements), and then tighten the two M10-hex
head screws with the M10 hex nuts.
Note: A third-party thread-locking compound must be applied to the M10-hex head screws
to prevent the bolts from working loose.
Note: For wall mounting, rotation is restricted in the horizontal plane only.
Installing the SDA-4S
The SDA-4S Type II (or SDA-4SDC Type II) is mounted vertically on a wall.
Wall Mounting
Wall mounting is made possible by the existence of two mounting hooks molded into the SDA4S's bottom panel, as displayed in the figure below.
36
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR)
To wall mount the SDA-4S:
1.
On the wall, mark the position of the two mounting hooks. The dimensions of the wallmounting hooks are displayed in the template below.
2.
Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above.
3.
Insert wall anchors (supplied) into each of the drilled holes.
4.
Insert the 9-inch screws (supplied) into the wall anchors. Ensure at least 2 mm of the screw
is exposed to allow insertion into the SDA-4S mounting holes.
5.
Hold the SDA-4S with both hands, and align the entrance to the two mounting hooks with
the screws. Slide the screws into the mounting hooks, by lowering the SDA-4S onto the
screws.
Note: For safety, both mounting hooks must be utilized when mounting the unit.
Note: The SDA-4S is supplied with a 1-metre AC power lead assembly. Therefore, ensure
the unit is mounted within reachable distance to the customer's mains power outlet.
Note: The maximum cable run between SDA-4S and MicroMAX is 100 meters. Therefore,
ensure the unit is mounted within reachable distance.

CABLING THE BSR
Network cabling at the Base Station depends on the devices implemented to provide the BSR with
connectivity to the provider's backhaul and power source. These devices can be one of the
following:
SDA: providing AC power and consisting of a single BSR
BSDU: providing DC power and consisting of multiple BSRs
Connecting the BSR to the SDA-4S
he SDA-4S provides -48 VDC power to the BSR as well as the Fast Ethernet interface between the
BSR and the provider's backhaul network. The outdoor Base Station Radio and Modem are powered
over a CAT-5e Cable by the SDA-4S Type II IDU (or the SDA-4SDC) in the minimum configuration.
For larger configurations N* SDA-4Ss and N* BSRs are required or connection to BSDU(s).
The BSR interfaces with the subscriber's Ethernet network through the SDA-4S. To connect the BSR
to the SDA-4S, you need to connect the BSR's 15-pin D-type port to the SDA-4S's 15-pin D-type
port using a CAT-5e cable.
The cable setup for MicroMAX-to-SDA-4S connectivity is as follows:
Cable: Straight-through CAT-5e Ethernet cable
Connectors:
MicroMAX: DB15-to-RJ45 outdoor adapter
SDA-4S: DB15-to-RJ45 indoor adapter (for connecting to DATA&PWR&SYNC D-type
connector)
CAT 5e cable with 8-pin RJ-45 male connectors on either end
Connector pinouts:
43
605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
Note: The wire color-coding described in the table is Airspan's standard for wire colorcoding. However, if you implement your company's wire color-coding scheme, ensure that the
wires are paired and twisted according to pin functions listed in the table above (e.g. Rx+
with Rx-).
Note: The maximum CAT 5e cable length for ODU/IDU connectivity is 100 meters.
To connect the BSR to the SDA-4S:
1.
Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the CAT-5e cable, to the BSR's

SDA-4S Type II
Using the SDA-4S Type II
The SDA-4S Type II (or the SDA-4SDC) provides one to four RJ-45 (100BaseT) ports for
interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network.
The ports of the SDA-4S model support Auto Negotiation, allowing automatic configuration for
the highest possible speed link (10BaseT or 100BaseT), and Full Duplex or Half Duplex mode.
In other words, the speed of the connected device (e.g. PC) determines the speed at which
packets are transmitted through the specific port. For example, if the device to which the port
is connected is running at 100 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps.
Conversely, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port
connection will transmit packets at 10 Mbps
In addition, the SDA-4S ports support MDI/MDI-X automatic crossover, allowing connection to
straight-through or crossover CAT-5e cables. Therefore, these ports can be connected to either
a hub (i.e. using crossover cables) or a PC (i.e. using straight-through cables).
The cable setup for SDA-4S LAN connectivity is as follows:
Cable: Straight-through (e.g. when connecting to PC) or crossover (i.e. when connecting to
a hub) CAT-5e Ethernet cable
Connectors: 8-pin RJ-45 at both ends

Notes:
A CAT-5e cable connects to the 15-pin D-type port, therefore, only eight pins are used (i.e.
pins 9 through 15 are not used).
The wire color-coding described in the table (and shown in the figure below) is AS.MAX's
standard for wire color-coding. However, if you implement your company's wire color-coding
scheme, ensure wires are paired and twisted according to pin functions (e.g. Rx+ with Rx-).
When the BSR is connected to an SDA, pins 7 and 8 are not used (i.e. no synchronization).
To connect the BSR to the BSDU:
1.
Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the CAT-5e cable, to the BSR's
15-pin D-type port labeled DATA&PWR&SYNC.

605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
CONNECTING POWER CABLE FOR SDA-4SDC
Power Cable Connection
In the SDA-4SDC installation Kit there are two polarized and genderless unassembled Anderson
Powerpole power connectors: red for positive connection and black for the negative connection.
Power connectors (Anderson Powerpole)
The power connectors consist of housing (hood and a contact pins). The contact pin is displayed
below:
Housing the Connectors
The power connectors are supplied unassembled. Therefore, you need to crimp the power wires
to the connector's contact pins, and then house them in the Powerpole hood.
Crimping the power wires to the connectors:
1.
Insert the wire into the contact pin's barrel, and then, with a standard crimping tool crimp
the barrel tightly onto the wire (recommended 16 AWG cable wire).
2.
Insert the contact into the hood with the contact's tongue pointing downwards and snap
into place. Ensure that the housing spring mates with the underside of the contact's tongue.
Connecting to the SDA-4SDC
Once you have crimped the power cord to the Powerpole connectors, connect the power
connectors to the SDA-4SDC power receptacles.
To connect the power cord to the SDA-4SDC
Note: The plastic housings are held together with dovetail joints. Always slide these joints
together! They will be damaged if you try to snap them together or apart. They ONLY slide
together in one direction. This should be obvious by looking at them carefully.
1.
54
Assemble the red and black plastic housings together. Mate both connectors, by sliding
them along the dovetail joints.
When looking at the connector side (not the wire side), the red connector should be on the
Cabling the BSR
left and the black on the right.
The housing dovetails should be mated fully.
2.
Connect the power connectors to the SDA-4SDC power receptacles so that the connectors'
color matches the receptacle's color, red to red (positive), and black to black (negative).
3.
Connect the other end of the power cord to the third-party DC power source. Ensure that
the positive and negative sides are correct.

CONNECTING LIGHTNING AND SURGE PROTECTOR
The optional third-party lightning and surge protector (PolyPhaser) is implemented in the following
deployment scenarios:
ODU-to-IDU cable length of 40 meters or more (mandatory to use surge protector)
Deployment of MicroMAX in geographical areas that frequently experience severe lightning
storms
The lightning and surge protector protects the ODU-to-IDU CAT 5e cable's six used wires (two -48
VDC wires and four Ethernet Tx and Rx wires) from any electrical surges due to lighting strikes.
The protector is installed outdoors on the CAT 5e cable that connects between the MicroMAX and
the SDA-4S Type II. In other words, two CAT 5e cables are required for the following connections:
MicroMAX-to-protector connection
Protector-to-IDU connection
Warning: Do not install the lightning and surge protector during adverse weather
conditions when the threat of lightning strike is possible.
Note: The protector unit must be grounded to a low-impedance (low R and low L) ground
system to operate properly.
Note: For pricing and ordering of the PolyPhaser lightning and surge protector, contact
your Airspan representative.
To install the lightning protector:
1.
Connect the protector in the direction according to the labels. The end labeled SURGE
accepts the cable from the MicroMAX; the end labeled PROTECTED accepts the cable from
the SDA-4S, or BSDU.
2.
Feed the CAT 5e cable through the grommet (for each side). If the RJ-45 connector is
already crimped to the other end, ensure that you have fed the cable through the gland nut
beforehand. The gland nut secures the cable to the grommet.
3.
Strip about 0.25" (6.35 mm) of the cable sheath and expose about 0.03" (0.8 mm) of the
strands/wires.
4.
Secure the wires to the protector's terminal block using the two spot ties. Each side of the
data and DC assembly has + or – markings to ensure lines entering (surge side) match
lines exiting (protected side).
Note: PolyPhaser should be installed close to the units but only externally.

CONNECTING THIRD-PARTY EXTERNAL ANTENNAS
This section describes the procedures for connecting third-party external radio and Global
Positioning System (GPS) antennas to the BSR and BSDU, respectively. The implementation of
these antennas depends on the BSR model (with respect to radio antennas) and the need for
synchronization of the system (with respect to GPS antennas).
Connecting Third Party External Antennas
The MicroMAX BSR model without a built-in antenna provides an N-type port for connecting a thirdparty external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than
the standard MicroMAX BSR built-in antenna model.
Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the MicroMAX is not
connected to the power source.
Warning: Before powering on the MicroMAX, ensure that some type of equipment such
as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle. This eliminates the
risk of irreversibly damaging the MicroMAX device.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the MicroMAX to ensure that
only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than
those certified with the product is expressly forbidden.
Warning: The external antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Warning: The MicroMAX and external antenna should be installed ONLY by
experienced installation professionals who are familiar with the local building and safety codes
and are licensed by the appropriate government authorities.
Note: The MicroMAX model that provides an N-type connector for attaching a third-party
external antenna does not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
The following lists the cable setup for attaching the external antenna:
Cable: RF coaxial
Connector: N-type male
To connect a third-party external antenna to the MicroMAX:
Connect the N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle
located on the MicroMAX's panel (labeled ANTENNA), as displayed below.

Connecting GPS Antenna to BSDU
Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that the connection to the GPS is
made prior to connecting the BSDU to the power supply.
Warning: A primary lightning protection device must be provided by the
operator/customer as part of an extra-building installation to ensure transient voltage levels
of less than 600 V maximum.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by
Airspan Networks Inc. could result in violation of Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Warning: This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to
correct the interference.
Connecting the GPS
The GPS antenna connects to the BSDU's 15-pin D-type port, labeled GPS, located on the
BSDU's rear panel, as shown below. The connection to the GPS is made through a 12-pin RS422 serial interface port that provides both communication and power interfaces.
BSDU rear panel showing GPS port
63
605-0000-742_MicroMAX_Hardware_Installation_Rev_G
Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that the connection to the GPS is

GPS-to-BSDU cable connection
Notes:
♦When installing the cable, secure the cable to the mounting pole or bracket with a cable tie
to hold the weight of the cable (i.e. cable strain relief).
♦A loop should be left in the dressed cable for maintenance purposes and to prevent the
cable weight being taken directly on the connector itself.
♦Ensure that the connector is waterproof.
GPS Alignment
Many GPS reception problems can be reduced, to some degree, by careful antenna site
selection.
Place the GPS so that unobstructed line-of-sight reception is possible from horizon to
horizon and at all bearings and elevation angles from the antenna. This is the ideal
situation, which may not be possible under actual operating conditions.
Try to place the GPS as far as possible from reflective objects, especially reflective objects
that are above its radiation pattern horizon. Close-in reflections cause strong multipath
signals.
Care should also be taken to avoid coiling the GPS cable around the mounting base and
pinching the cable in windows or doors.

not listed in the User Guide are outside the scope of this Declaration.
CAUTION: European Directive 1999/519/EC details basic restrictions and reference levels on
human exposure to electromagnetic fields as advised by the ICNIRP. The directive states that
adherence to these recommended restrictions and reference levels should provide a high
level of protection as regards the established health effects that may result from exposure to
such fields.

Warnings and Cautions
By the very nature of the system design and installation users will not find them selves
within close proximity of the subscriber terminals.
Standards EN50383 and EN50385 are the applicable harmonised standards for EM fields
generated by fixed wireless equipment.
The Electromagnetic fields generated by the Central Terminal antenna are below the
recommended safe levels at all distances greater than 65 cm from an approved Airspan
antenna.
The safe distance from a non-approved antenna of length D and Sector Angle δ may be
calculated using the formula:
Safe distance, r = 36 / (π * D * δ)

1.8 Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and
national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements
and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and
damage to equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these
guidelines are followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury.
Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures
from lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without
passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not
prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage
by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground.
Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive
equipment to malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away
from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the RF cable shield and center
conductor can be directed safely to ground by using a lightning arrestor in series with the RF
cable.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are
recommended for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and
the lightning arrestors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on
the building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
74
Warnings and Cautions
- Install one RF lightning protector between the radio and antenna in series with the RF
cable.
- A lightning arrestor in series with the RF cable at the point of entry to the building.
- Install a lightning arrestor in series with the IF cable at the transceiver on the tower/mast.
- The AC wall outlet ground for the terminal must be connected to the same grounding
system as the radio and antenna lightning protectors.
