An X-Pol RT that is mounted on a wall should be mountedat least 3m (10 ft) away from any point of exposure such as windows, balconies or doors.X-Pol RT service and repair safety precautionsOnly authorized personnel should service X-Pol RT units.Equipment interconnection pointsAll card faceplate connectors are SELV.Connect SELV circuits on this equipment only to other circuits that comply with the requirements of SELVcircuits as defined in EN60950.Restriction of unauthorized accessOnly authorized personnel should have access to the equipment. Install the equipment in a restricted-access location or similar environment, and post appropriate warning signs to indicate safety concerns.Failure to prevent unauthorized user access will invalidate any approvals given to this equipment.Regulatory symbolsThe following sections show examples of regulatory approval symbols generally used. They may beused on product markings such as approval labels. These symbols are described in IEC417.Power onPower offDanger - Never touch the X-Pol RT antennas while they are in operation. Do not stand infront of X-Pol RT antennas, and never pass closer than 1m (3 ft) in front of an operating orX-Pol RT.Power to X-Pol RTs must be disconnected prior to installation or servicing.Service and repair preparation activities should be made as close as possible to the base ofan elevated X-Pol RT, as the risk of exposure to non-ionizing radiation increases as youmove further from the base toward the area that is serviced by the transmitter.This symbol indicates the on position of the main on/off switch.This symbol indicates the off (O) position of the main on/off switch.

Consultappropriate local authorities prior to installation.Note 2 - All IF cabling must meet local safety and building code requirements.
34/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01104– cable guides and ladders,– cable hangers and cable grounding kits,– antenna heaters (to prevent antenna icing).Grounded entry pointEach BS requires a grounded entry point in order to ground BS components and cables. Refer to localelectrical code requirements when choosing a grounded entry point for the BS.Lightning protectionBS site lightning protection requires:– installing lightning arresters on IF and RS-422 cables,– grounding X-Pol RBS Txs, X-Pol RBS Rxs and mounting poles,– grounding IF cables,– lightning rods.Lightning arrestersThe installation of both IF and RS-422 cable lightning arresters is strongly recommended. If light-ning arresters are not used, equipment is not covered by the warranty agreement.Lightning arresters should be installed as close to the rooftop IF cable entry point as possible. Li-ghtning arresters must be grounded according to international, national, territorial, regional andmunicipal safety codes.Lightning rodsEquipment that may be subject to lightning strikes must be protected by a lightning protection sys-tem that is installed in accordance with all applicable international, national, territorial and localregulations and practices.This may require the installation of lightning rods, a rooftop ground loop, and a main buildingground.X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS RxThe X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS Rx cases, mounting bracket and mounting pole must be groun-ded to the building power utility ground.IF cableIF cables must be grounded at the cable entry point, every 50 m (164 ft) between the cable entrypoint and the X-Pol RBS Tx or X-Pol RBS Rx, and at the base of a tower.Use a standard cable grounding kit available from the recommended cable manufacturer. IF cable installationIF cables provide a signal path for data, and power for the X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS Rx. IF cablesshould be approved by Alcatel, and rated for the particular environment where they are installed (indoor,outdoor, riser or plenum).Cable run requirements for the inside and outside of the equipment room vary from site to site. Alcatelcurrently recommends only certain cable types, connectors and manufacturers. However, customerscan contact Alcatel to inquire about using alternate cable solutions if the currently approved cables donot suit a specific application. Because there are many factors associated with choosing a suitable IF cable, customers are advised byAlcatel of the manufacturers and part numbers recommended for these cable assemblies.
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 35/346104WeatherproofingIF cable connectors and cable entry points must be weatherproofed. IF cable connectorsMoisture in IF cables causes an increase in VSWR that increases signal loss beyond the specifi-cations of the system. All IF cable connections should be weather-proofed using butyl tape, orcold-shrink kits available from the cable or connector manufacturer.RS-422 data cable LEMO connectorsThe RS-422 data cable LEMO connector is a waterproof connector when properly assembled. Ad-ditional weatherproofing is not required.X-Pol RBS Tx, X-Pol RBS Rx and antennasIf an X-Pol RBS TxX-Pol RBS Tx or X-Pol RBS Rx is removed from an antenna, care must betaken to ensure the O-ring that seals the RF channel between the X-Pol RBS Tx/X-Pol RBS Rxand antenna is correctly installed when the X-Pol RBS Tx/X-Pol RBS Rx is reconnected to an an-tenna.Cable entry pointIn order to keep moisture from entering the building, cable entry points should be weatherproofedusing a feed-through weatherproof rubber cable portal.Where a cable runs down a wall to enter a building, a drip-loop or bend in the cable is required toensure that rainwater does not follow the cable into the building. The drip-loop or bend causes rainwater to drip from the cable before it reaches the cable entry point.X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS Rx installationThe X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS Rx must be connected to antennas before being mounted on towers,masts, building rooftops or other appropriate fixtures. BS antennas connect to mounting hardware that is attached to 11.43 cm (4 1/2 in.) outer diameter steelmounting poles at preselected locations on a rooftop. Vertical and horizontal spacing between X-Pol RBS Txs and X-Pol RBS Rxs is provided by cell planningactivities, and must be adhered to.Power for each X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS Rx is delivered by the IF cable. No additional powerdelivery is required for the radios. Caution - When installing IF cable, use the connectors and connector tools recommendedin Appendix A. Failure to do so could damage the connectors or result in poor signal quality.Note - The required inner diameter (wall thickness) of a mounting pole must be determinedby professional engineering staff, taking into consideration the torsional and vibrationalforces caused by the wind loading on the pole and on the equipment mounted on the pole,as well as the distribution of these forces on the supported and unsupported parts of the pole.
