Installation Environment
2.3.1 Locational Requirements
Environments with high-temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile
vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, and electromagnetic interference (large radar
stations, transmitting stations, transformer substations) are not suitable for the operation
of Nova-436, and thus should be avoided.
Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also
be avoided.
Factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation
should be taken into consideration in the construction process 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.
2.3.2 Environmental Requirements
Table 2-2 gives the base station’s environmental requirements with regards to
temperature, humidity, and voltage.

Personnel Requirements
The installation personnel must master the basic safe operation knowledge, through the
training, and having the corresponding qualifications.
2.5
Against Lightening and Grounding Protection
CAUTION:
It is unlikely to happen but since the LTE base station is very sophisticated
equipment so we would recommend you to test it on the ground to make sure
everything is functioning before install on the tower.
Nova-436 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
The operator must prepare external against lightning protector to protect the GPS,
external antenna and RJ-45 port.
Grounding Notes:

The ground wire adopts yellow-green wire that is no smaller than 16 mm².

Grounding principle: as near as possible.

The base station connects to the reliable outdoor grounding point (earth) through
one ground screw.

The connection of the grounding points and the ground bar need to be tight and
reliable. Rustproofing the terminals is required. This can be done with rust
preventing paint, anti-oxidation coatings, grease, and so on.
2.6
Weatherproof Protection
The Nova-436 adopts cold shrink tube for weatherproof protection. Before installing the
cold shrink tube, clean up the interface first. The weatherproof protection steps are as
follows:
1.
Insert cable into cold shrink tube.
2.
Tighten the connector.
3.
Push the cold shrink tube to the top joint and pull out the strip.
4.
Check whether the cold shrink tube tight connect with the connection.

Nova-436 Outdoor LTE TDD Base Station Installation Guide
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 within the 45 degrees safety angle towards the lightening
rod, as shown in Figure 3-4. In principle, no lightening rod can be welded to pole (no
metal object is allowed within 1m of the horizontal direction of the omnidirectional
antennas), when installing the omnidirectional antennas. Instead, an independent
lightening rod should be settled between the two poles, where the lightening rod
must be high enough to keep all antennas under its protection cover.
Figure 3-4 Omnidirectional Antenna Installation (1)
In case is impossible to install an independent lightning rod due to environmental
limitations, the installation method shown in Figure 3-5 can be used. Be aware that the
pole supporting the lightening rod should be kept at least 1m away from the
omnidirectional outdoor antennas.

3.7.2 Install Directional Antennas
1.
First, assemble the antennas, as shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Assembling Procedure of Directional Antennas
2.
To install it on the iron tower, use a pulley to transport the antenna assembled to the
platform on the iron tower, as shown in Figure 3-7. Following the safety rules when
working at these heights.

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 3-8.
Figure 3-8 Directional Antenna Installation
4.
When the base station has been installed in a proper position, connect all the cables
and wires.
5.
Run tests, then seal and weatherproof all the connections after the testing has
successfully completed. Refer to 2.6 Weatherproof Protection.
