equipment damage outlined in the ISM at all times.
Read this method completely prior to attempting to handle or install the
CPE.
Any on site problems, non-compliances with work orders, or potential
hazards should be reported immediately to the Program Manager.
Use caution when climbing on, around, or near equipment. Be aware of
trip hazards as you walk or climb around the work environment.
When working on high buildings, take extra care to ensure that no
debris, tools, or equipment are allowed to blow off or fall from the
working area.
All company tools, test equipment, etc. are to be kept with the engineer
responsible at all times, except when securely locked in equipment
rooms or transportation vehicle.
Locate the main power shut-off switch controlling the equipment being
worked on. This is important in the event of an accident so that power
can quickly be cut.
3.2 Preparations

Method 08-0292 September 22, 2000
4.0 Procedure
4.1 Overview
This method covers the procedures to install the CPE cabinet, Backup
Batteries, NIU, and CTR. The NIU provides the interface for E1/T1 and
10 Base T to the Reunion System. The NIU modulates these signals into
a Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signal onto an
Intermediate Frequency (IF) carrier and sends it to the CTR. The CTR
then up converts and amplifies the IF into Radio Frequency (RF) in the
microwave range, sending it to the Network Node Equipment (NNE)
Basestation Transceiver (BTR). Upon receiving the RF from the BTR,
the CTR down converts and amplifies it to IF, sending it to the NIU. The
NIU then demodulates the IF and QAM into the E1/T1 and 10 Base T
signals.
4.2 CPE Cabinet Installation
The following procedure covers the mounting of the CPE cabinet.
Using the Engineering Package, determine which type of cabinet is to be
installed. The cabinet is provided with floor mounting brackets and an
anchor kit (NTN523CC or NTN523CD). The mounting of the brackets
is optional. (Check with Program Management for instructions on this
issue.)
SHOCK:
Disconnect all power when working on power supplies.
Caution:
Be aware of electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
requirements when handling BWA equipment.
Danger:
The cabinet weighs from 625 lbs to 905 lbs (284 kg to 411 kg).
Use at least three people to move the cabinet. Wear
protective footwear and gloves.

1Unpack the CTR and Mount and inspect for
damage. Do not install damaged equipment. For
ease of installation, the CTR and mount should
be assembled on stable ground instead of on the
mast.
Note: The MMIC CTR will have a protective
cover for the radome. Do not touch the front of
the radome; the oils from the skin can cause
damage.
2Install the Azimuth adjustment plate to the
antenna mast on the opposite side of the mast the
CTR will be installed on. Using the U-bolt, split
lock washer, flat washer and bronze nut, fully
tighten the azimuth adjustment plate securely to
the pole (15 ft-lb torque).
Parts: U bolt bracket, (2) 3/8 x 16 bronze nuts,
flat washers, split lock washers.
3Install the Pole mount plate assembly to the
antenna mast so that it sits opposite the Azimuth
adjustment plate assembly. Tighten the (2) pole
clamp bars using the (4) 6.0" hex bolts, split lock
washers, flat washers, and hex nuts. The
elevation adjustment plate should fit snug to the
pole.
Note: The azimuth adjust rod is pre-assembled
when shipped from the factory. Remove the hex
nut, split lock washer, and flat washer. Slip the
rod into the slot of the azimuth adjustment plate.
Replace the hex nut, split lock washer, and flat
washer.
Parts: (4) 3/8 - 16 x 6.0" hex nut, 3/8 split lock
washer, 3/8 flat washers.

4Attach the CTR mounting plate to the elevation
adjustment plate using (5) pan head screws and
stainless steel split lock washers. With the
proper torque (50 in-lb), fully tighten the
mounting plate to the elevation adjustment plate.
Parts: (5) 1/4-20 x 3/8 pan head screws and
stainless steel split lock washers.
Attach the mounting plate to the CTR housing
using (4) pan head screws and stainless steel split
lock washers. Fully tighten using the proper
torque (50 in-lb).
Parts: (4) 1/4-28 x 3/4 pan head screws and
stainless steel split lock washers.
Note: Verify the CTR TX polarization with the
Engineering Package. If the TX polarization is
horizontal, the arrow will point to the right
(looking at CTR from the rear). If the TX
polarization is vertical, the arrow will point up.

5Elevation adjustment assembly to pole mount
assembly. Align the large diameter hub on the
elevation adjustment plate to the pole mount
plate, inserting the brass rod into the desired
elevation adjustment hole.
In order to adjust the elevation of the antenna for
maximum uptilt angle, position the round brass
rod in the top hole of the elevation plate.
In order to adjust the elevation of the antenna for
maximum downtilt angle, position the round
brass rod in the bottom hole of the elevation
plate.
Tighten the (2) 3/8 hex bolts, split lock washers,
flat washers, and nylon washers until the antenna
is snug to the adjustment plate. Do not fully
tighten at this time.

6Fine Azimuth adjustment instructions:
Clockwise: Adjust the azimuth rod by loosing
the 3/8 hex nuts on the inside of the rod. The
antenna will move clockwise around the pole by
tightening the outer 3/8 hex nut. This can be
done until the antenna is in the desired position.
When this position is reached, fully tighten the
inside hex nuts using the proper torque (15 ft-lb).
Counter Clockwise: Adjust the azimuth rod by
loosing the 3/8 hex nut on the outside of the
adjustment rod, leaving no less than three threads
from the end. The antenna will move in a
counter clockwise movement around the pole by
tightening the inside 3/8 hex nut until the antenna
is in the desired position. When this position is
reached, fully tighten the outside hex nuts using
the proper torque (15 ft-lb).
Note: The fine azimuth adjustment allows for +/
- 10 degrees.
7Fine elevation adjustment instructions:
Uptilt adjustment: Rotate the elevation adjust
rod counter clockwise to the desired position.
Note: At this time, the (4) 3/8-16 hex bolts on
the elevation adjustment plate will be fully
tightened using the proper torque (15 ft-lb).
Downtilt adjustment: Rotate the elevation adjust
rod counter clockwise to the desired position.
Note: At this time, the (4) 3/8-16 hex bolts on
the elevation adjustment plate will be fully
tightened using the proper torque (15 ft-lb).
Note: The fine elevation adjustment allows for
+/- 25 degrees.
8Before leaving the installation, check that all
hardware on the mount and antenna are fully
tightened.
Inspection of the antenna should be performed at
least once a year to check its condition and to
ensure safe operation and maintenance.
Note: Ensure the MMIC CTR protective radome
cover is removed.
