Installation Environment 2.3
2.3.1 Locational Requirements
Environments with high-temperature, harmful gases, unstable voltage, big vibration, high
noise or exposed to flammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (large radar
station, transmitting station, transformer substation) are not suitable for the operation of
BRU3510, and thus should be avoided. Places prone to have impounded water, soaking,
leakage, or condensation, should also be avoided.
In the construction process, factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric
power, and transportation should be taken into consideration so that a proper location can
be chosen to meet the communication engineering environmental requirements, as well
as the technical requirements of network planning and communication equipment.

2.3.3 Power Requirements
BRU3510 base station adopts -48V DC power supply. For the safety and reliability of
device, we have the following suggestions.
Remote DC power supply, in general, AC power supply is 100V ~ 270V, the distance
of AC power supply to the device is less than 30 meters.
If the static exceeds a certain range, it will lead to great damage to the circuit and the
whole device.

2.3.4 Grounding and Lightning Protection
BRU3510 base station built-in lightning protection function. When the base station is
installed, connect the grounding wire to ground, that is, connecting yellow-green ground
wire to GND terminal of base station with screw. After installation, you should make some
anti-corrosion and anti-rust measures, such as welding on tin. And the ground wire
connects to the ground point. The ground wire is not smaller than 16 mm2, as short as
possible, do not coil round. Figure 2-1 shows the grounding.

Figure 3-6 Installation on Pole Complete
3.2.3 Install Antenna Feeder System
There are two kinds of outdoor antennas, omnidirectional outdoor antennas and
directional outdoor antennas, which installation will be introduced in the following
respectively.
3.2.3.1 Install Omnidirectional Antennas
One should pay attention to the followings in the process of installing omnidirectional
outdoor antenna:
The diameter of the pole for omnidirectional outdoor antennas is required to be 35mm
~ 50mm. A typical case is to use the 50mm diameter round-steel-made pole (with
details depending on the specific antenna type).
Make sure that the top of pole and the clamp beneath the antenna are at the same
level, after installing the omnidirectional outdoor antenna on the pole.
Make sure that the antenna is high enough to meet the coverage requirement, and
that, the antenna top falls in the safety angle of 45 degrees towards the lightening rod,
as shown in Figure 3-7.
15
Figure 3-7 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1)
In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no metal object is allowed within
1m range in the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional antennas), when installing
the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent lightening rod should be
settled between two poles, where the lightening rod must be high enough to keep all
antenna tops under its protection cover.
In case that an independent lightning rod is impossible due to environmental
limitation, the installation method as shown in Figure 3-8 can be adopted. Be aware
that the pole supporting the lightening rod should be kept from the omnidirectional
outdoor antennas for at least 1m away.
16
Figure 3-8 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (2)
3.2.3.2 Install Directional Antennas
1. First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-9.
Figure 3-9 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas
2. Use pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the platform at the iron tower, as
shown in Figure 3-10. Working at heights should strictly follow the safety rules.
17
Figure 3-10 Transportation of the Antenna in the Height
3. Fix the pole vertically to the ground or concrete pillars on the rooftop using expansion
screws, and fasten it with steel wires. Then, mount the directional outdoor antenna
onto the pole using the installation rack, as shown in Figure 3-11.
Figure 3-11 Directional Antenna Installation
4. Connect all cables and wires and fix them, when the base station has been installed
in a proper position.
5. Do testing, and seal all the connections for waterproof protection after the testing is
passed.
18
3.2.3.3 Waterproof Protection
Wrap the connections to protect with waterproof tapes and waterproof daub, as shown in
Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12 Antenna Waterproofing
Be aware that at least three layers of tapes are needed, and make sure that the wrapping
direction of the last layer is from the bottom up. The last layer should be in suitable
tightness to keep it from cracking and also for good looking. The overall appearance after
the waterproof processing is shown in Figure 3-13.
19
Figure 3-13 Antenna Waterproof Protection
3.2.3.4 Ground Protection
The grounding terminal is a screw beside the feeder interface, as shown in Figure 3-14.
One end of the ground wire connects to the grounding terminal of base station, the
other end connects to the outdoor ground point. The connection need to be
tin-soldered.
Figure 3-14 Grounding Protection
Note about grounding as follows:
20
Ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm².
Grounding principle: as near as possible.
The connection of ground terminals and ground bar is need to be tightness and
reliable. And the rustproof processing is needed, such as rust preventing paint,
anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on.
3.2.4 (Optional) Install GPS Antenna
Installation requirements on GPS antenna:
GPS antenna must be installed vertically.
To avoid the influence of reflected wave, GPS antenna should keep away from
surrounding metal objects more than 1.5 meters.
No major blocking from buildings in the vicinity. Keep the rooftop buildings a distance
away from the GPS. Make sure the space atop within 90 degrees (at least 45 degrees
in the south) is not blocked by any buildings.
Avoid installing the GPS in the vicinity of any other transmitting and receiving devices.
Avoid interference from other transmitting antennas to the GPS antennas.
Should be installed within 45 degrees to the lightning rod.
Mounting bracket and pole of GPS antenna must be grounding well.
Multiple GPS antenna installs at a distance of 2 meters above.
