AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 10 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B 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. - AirSynergy is designed to operate in environmental conditions complying with IP66 and relevant standards. 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. 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.

Figure 16 - wall mounting plate fastened on wall Note: Wall plugs (x4) and necessary hardware are not supplied by Airspan and are the responsibility of the installer. Recommended minimum 8mm dia. with appropriate wall plugs according to field conditions. 5.3 Front Sector Antenna Assembly Note: The following section is included for spare-parts or replacement assembly instructions as front mounted antenna variants come factory pre-assembled. 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. For installation of a remotely mounted antenna follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions and connect the antenna to the AirSynergy using the appropriate cables. (Weather-proofed N-type Heliax RF cables (ordered separately).
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 34 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B Note: When a front mounted antenna is not attached to the unit (remote antenna) a Sun-shield should be attached. Variants utilizing remotely attached antennas come factory pre-assembled with a sunshield. 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 17 - 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 18 – Attaching front mount antenna assembly to AirSynergy 5.4 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.  No more than 1m between cable termination and first fastener.  Fastenings should be to a robust construction (i.e. mast pole, unit mount…).
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 35 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B  Fasteners should be weather and UV resistant.  Cables should have some slack for thermal expansion/contraction between fastenings. An 80cm cable (supplied with GPS antenna kit) connects the GPS directly to the AirSynergy connecter, on the bottom panel. When mounting the GPS antenna remotely from the unit, the GPS antenna should be used in conjunction with the Remote GPS Antenna Mounting Bracket (supplied with the GPS antenna kit) and the 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 (unless an alternative synchronization method is used, such as IEEE1588-2008) which comes in a kit with a mounting bracket and a 80cm 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 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 19 - attaching GPS antenna to mounting bracket 2. Attach the TNC to TNC cable from the GPS antenna to the TNC connecter on the bottom 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. 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.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 36 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B Figure 20 - Attaching the GPS antenna assembly to AirSynergy Caution: Attach the GPS bracket in the displayed position only, so as not to restrict the airflow in any way. 5.5 Securing AirSynergy to the Mounting Plate Note: the following procedure can also be performed with the Front-Mount antenna variants exactly as shown below. 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 21 - Lift unit to top of mounting plate 2. Hook the studs into the top slots of the mounting plate. Figure 22 - unit engages into slots on the top of mounting plate 3.

AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 39 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B 6 Connect and Manage Cables 6.1 Connecting the Ground Cable There is an option to connect a 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 40 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B 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 - external 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 DC Power Cable to AirSynergy 1. Plan the position of the DC power cable run from the AirSynergy unit to the power supply unit. The DC power cable is offered in various lengths, to fit different deployments. 2. Uncoil the cable and secure the connector just below the AirSynergy unit. Note: When securing the cable make sure there is no 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 DC Power Cable Installation When the DC power cable is to be passed through glands and/or down the center of a lamp post or other structure, the DC power 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. Note: Airspan supplies two (2) types of cable, either black wire and white wire cable or black wire and blue wire cable. The cables’ specs are identical only the colors are different.
AirSynergy 2000 Installation Guide Page 43 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D01001 Rev B Figure 33 - DC Power connection Figure 34 - Power connection - AirSynergy bottom panel 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. Advice: It is good practice to label both ends of the Network 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 network cable (approximately 0.5m). This will allow for easier wiring to the Network switch and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future.
