the tower. The RRU can be installed on a pole, U-steel, or angle steel. This section describes the

procedure for hoisting the RRU and mounting kits onto the tower and the precautions that must

be taken.

Prerequisite

Place a foam pad or cardboard on the ground to protect the housing of the RRU from damage

before the binding. Do not stand the RRU upright because the load-bearing capacity of the RF

ports at the RRU bottom is low.

CAUTION

When installed on a tower, only one RRU can be installed in standard mode or reverse mode,

and two RRUs can be installed on a pole in back-to-back mode. RRUs cannot be installed on

the side, and the brackets for more than two RRUs cannot be combined.

Procedure

Step 1 Bind the RRU and mounting kits properly using a lifting sling, as shown in Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1 Binding mounting kits for the RRU

Step 2 Lead one sling through the lifting eye and RRU handle and use the sling as a lifting sling, and

lead the other sling through the RRU handle and use the sling as a traction sling, as shown in

Figure 6-2.
