Adherence to these
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 11 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A recommended restrictions and reference levels should provide a high level of protection as regards the established health effects that may result from exposure to electromagnetic fields. Warning Symbols The following symbols may be encountered during installation or troubleshooting. These warning symbols mean danger. Bodily injury may result if you are not aware of the safety hazards involved in working with electrical equipment and radio transmitters. Familiarize yourself with standard safety practices before continuing. Electro-Magnetic Radiation High Voltage Service Information Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Do not remove the covers or modify any part of this device, as this will void the warranty. Disconnect the power to this product and return it for service if the following conditions apply: a. The terminal does not function after following the operating instructions outlined in this manual. b. Liquid has been spilled, a foreign object is inside, or the terminal has been exposed to rain. c. The product has been dropped or the housing is damaged. Locate the serial number of the terminal, antenna, and transceiver and record these on your registration card for future reference. Use the space below to affix serial number stickers. Also record the MAC address, located on the back of the terminal. UL Information - The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code requirements. - Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical. 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.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 12 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A 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. 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/surge protectors 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. - The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the eNodeB.

AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 34 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A 5 Install AirSynergy Install the AirSynergy base station by pole mount, wall mount, or single point. The AirSynergy can be connected to various types of antennas via standard RF coaxial cables. Antennas are positioned with up to 10 wavelengths horizontal separation to give optimal Downlink and Uplink MIMO performance. AirSynergy is normally mounted on a pole (in close proximity to its external antenna when not using the AirSynergy front mounted Antenna. Take care to install the mounting plate the correct way up so that the AirSynergy unit will fit with the PoE connector pointing downwards. This is with the slot openings in the bracket at the top edges as shown. Caution: Proper local rigging and hoisting practices should be followed when installing the AirSynergy. 5.1 Pole Mount Assembly The following images show the pole mount assembly. 1. Position mounting plate with slots facing up. Figure 13 - AirSynergy mounting plate and hardware 2. Feed clamp bands through the quick release locking mechanisms and wrap around pole. Figure 14 - Assemble clamp bands (2 required) 3. Wrap the band to properly fit on the pole. Press down locking mechanism with band excess fed through the mechanism.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 35 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A Figure 15 – press down locking mechanism 4. Align and position each of the 2 pole clamps. Tighten the clamp bands with large flat screwdriver in place. Figure 16 – tighten clamp bands 5. Mounting plate is installed and ready for AirSynergy mounting. Figure 17 – mounting plate installed on large diameter pole 5.2 Front Sector Antenna Assembly The AirSynergy unit can be used either with a sector antenna mounted directly on the front or with a remotely attached antenna. The following describes the installation procedure for the front mounted antenna.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 36 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A For installation of a remotely mounted antenna follow the instructions manufacturer’s instructions and connect the antenna to the AirSynergy using the appropriate cables. (N-type RF connections must be weather-proofed). Note: A Sun-shield should be attached when a front mounted antenna is not attached to the unit. To mount the front antenna, perform the following: 1. Fit the antenna to the (antenna) mounting plate. The four (4) studs on the back of the antenna pass through the front face of the mounting plate and are secured with the 4 sets of M4 nuts and washers (flat and split) included in the kit. Carefully position the lead RF cables as shown in the figure below and secure them in place to the eyelets on the back of the mounting plate with the provided cable ties. The cables are formed with a cross-over at the bottom. Note: It is recommended to place some packing material under the unit while assembling to protect it from scratches. Figure 18 - attaching front mounted antenna to mounting plate 2. Attach the assembled front mounted antenna with the bracket to the AirSynergy unit using the M5 SEMs (2 on each side) and connect the RF cables to the N type RF ports on the top of the AirSynergy. Note: The plate is mounted with the side slots towards the top so that the required tilt-down can be set. Figure 19 – Attaching front mount antenna assembly to AirSynergy 5.3 Connecting GPS Antenna to AirSynergy The GPS antenna should be installed far from:  High-voltage power cables.  Strong radiation area of any TV transmission stations.  Radiation area of the main lobe of the RF Antenna.  Radiation area of the microwave antenna.  Other areas with inter-frequency interference or strong electromagnetic interference. Cable Fastening Good Practices:  No more than 5m between cable fastening spaces.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 37 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A  No more than 1m between cable termination and first fastener.  Fastenings should be to a robust construction (i.e. mast pole, unit mount…).  Fasteners should be weather and UV resistant.  Cables should have some slack for thermal expansion/contraction between fastenings. An 25cm, cable connects the GPS directly to the top of AirSynergy. When mounting the GPS antenna remotely from the unit, the GPS antenna should be used in conjunction with the Remote GPS Antenna Mounting Bracket (TBD) and appropriate length GPS Cable RG58 TNC-TNC by way of TNC connectors. Note: All cables should be properly secured to prevent undue strain on any of the cable terminations. Note: AirSynergy units without a factory assembled Switched Beam Antenna all require a GPS antenna which comes in a kit with a mounting bracket and a 25cm cable. A primary consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably 360 degrees. 1. Assemble the GPS antenna to the mounting bracket supplied in the GPS antenna mounting kit. The large black nut should be tightened with a pipe wrench. Caution: take care not to over tighten the nut so as not to damage the plastic threads. Figure 20 - attaching GPS antenna to mounting bracket 2. Attach the short TNC to TNC cable from the GPS antenna to the TNC connecter on the top of the AirSynergy unit. 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.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 38 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A Figure 21 - GPS antenna cable connected 3. Attach the GPS antenna assembly to the body of the AirSynergy unit using the single M6 screw and lock washer provided in the kit. There is a threaded hole on the top corner of the AirSynergy unit for this purpose. The TNC to TNC cable loop can be carefully positioned behind the front mount antenna (or the sunshield) as shown below. Note: weather-proofing (as described previously) should have already been applied. Figure 22 - Assembling GPS antenna with bracket to AirSynergy 5.4 Securing AirSynergy to the Mounting Plate Note: If the installation is for a back to back assembly with two (2) AirSynergy units sharing the same mounting bracket refer to additional steps in Appendix B.. To mount AirSynergy to the universal mounting plate, perform the following: 1. Loosely fit the flange nuts on the studs protruding from the sides of the unit. Figure 23 - Lift unit to top of mounting plate
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 39 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A 2. Hook the studs into the top slots of the mounting plate. Figure 24 - unit engages into slots on the top of mounting plate 3. With the studs engaged in the top slots raise the unit slightly until the bottom studs also drop into their respective slots. Figure 25 - Gently lift the unit until the bottom studs fit into the bottom slots Figure 26 - AirSynergy unit engaged into the bottom slots 4. Tighten the flange nuts (4 places) to the required degree of down-tilt. 5. Check and tighten all flange nuts. 5.5 LED Display A single tri-color LED (Green/Red/Orange) appears at the bottom of the unit, providing unit status indication.

AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 41 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A 6 Connect and Manage Cables 6.1 Connecting the Ground Cable There is an option to connect an ground cable to the M6 screw threaded connection 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 ground connection is required for the surge protection devices inside the AirSynergy to be effective. 1. Remove grounding screw and slip the ring terminal end of the ground cable onto the screw prior to re-setting into the threaded hole. Figure 27 – attaching ground cable to AirSynergy 2. Connect the ground cable to the to the protection ground bar using a suitable crimp lugs. Alternatively use a clamp to bond the ground cable to the mounting pole or to the tower structure. Figure 28 - attach ground cable to pole Note: When installing a protection ground take care to use suitable metal combinations to avoid or minimize galvanic corrosion.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 42 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A 6.2 Connecting RF Jumper Cables to External Antenna 1. Attach, connect and secure the RF cable between the external antenna and the appropriate RF connection on the top of the unit. Figure 29 - Connecting RF cable Caution: Do not over-tighten the RF connector. RF failures can result when the RF connector is over-tightened. Figure 30 - weather-proof the connection - front mount antenna 2. Weather-proofing of the RF N type connections is recommended. This is done with a layer of self-amalgamating tape followed by an over layer of PVC tape. 3. Verify the RF connector is completely weather-sealed. 6.3 Connecting the Power Drop Cable to AirSynergy 1. Plan the position of the power drop cable run from the AirSynergy unit to the power supply. The recommended maximum run length is 30m (98.44 ft). (For run lengths greater than 30m please contact your Airspan representative) 2. Uncoil the cable and secure the connector just below the AirSynergy unit. Note: When securing the cable make sure there is not tension on the connector so that it is easy to disconnect and re-connect for future maintenance actions. 3. Position the pins correctly, 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.

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. 7.1 Required Tools The tools required for the connection of the PSU are:  knife  small flat blade screw driver (electrical insulated shaft recommended)  medium Philips head screwdriver  pliers  small side cutters  tweezers (or fine blade long nose pliers) Figure 32 - required tools 7.2 Cable Connections 7.2.1 Power Drop Cable Installation When the power drop cable is to be passed through glands and/or down the center of a lamp post or other structure, the power drop cable can be cut leaving sufficient length for ease of termination. With the power supply placed at the selected installation location, trim the cable to the length for proper installation while allowing sufficient length to strip and prepare the cable ends. Note: Standard cable supplied is 30m in length, other length options are available. Advice: It is good practice to label both ends of the cable to identify which AirSynergy unit it is connected to. This is especially important where numerous AirSynergy units are installed on the same pole/tower. Advice: It is good practice to leave a spare loop of cable (approximately 0.5m). This will allow for easier wiring to the power supply and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future. 7.2.2 Network Cable Installation 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 is 30m. For other lengths up to a maximum of 100m cables can be made up on site.

AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 56 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A 10 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 which are as follows: 10.1 Removal of the Existing Stud Mounting Plates 1. Remove the existing stud mounting plates (4 places) from each AirSynergy unit. Each plate is secured with 2 countersunk head screws. Figure 57 - stud mounting plates removal Notes: The screws should be replaced with a new set (16 pieces) with new 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. 10.2 Reassembly with the Joining Plates Re-assemble utilizing the joining plates. The studs with flange nuts must all be facing the same direction. 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. 2. Fit all 4 plates to one of the AirSynergy units then slide the 2nd unit into place between the brackets. Figure 58 - stud mounting plates assembly 3. Position the back to back assembly on side in order to tighten all the joining plate screws.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 57 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A Figure 59 - tighten all fixing screws Note: It is recommended to place some packing material under the units while tightening the screws to protect the units from scratches. The recommended mounting method with pole clamps for back to back installations differs from the regular mounting due to the additional weight of the 2 units. Figure 60 - back 2 back mounting 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, as shown above. This provides a stronger mounting option on the standard telecom tower equipment pole. For larger diameter poles where pole straps are required due to the larger pole diameter, it is recommended that 4 straps are used. It is important that pole straps sit flat against the mounting plate as shown below.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 58 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev A Figure 61 - back plate straps Figure 62 - back to back mounted with 4 straps Mount the assembly on the universal mounting bracket and secure the flange nuts. The GPS antenna and front mount antenna (if applicable) can be installed before or after mounting to the pole depending on ease of access. In cases where no front mount antenna is installed, an extended sun shield is available as an accessory item and should be installed. The installation method is the same as the standard sun shield with 3 fastenings 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. Caution: When securing a back to back assembly to the mounting plate a safety line should be secured to the units. The 6mm threaded 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 threaded hole used for protection ground connection in exposed areas or high lightening risk areas).
