6.1 Hoisting an RRU onto a Tower
Before installing an RRU on a tower, bind the RRU and mounting kits and then hoist them onto
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.

Requirements for Cable Binding
The same types of cable must be bound together.
Different types of cable must be separately routed with the minimum spacing of 30 mm
(1.18 in.) and cannot be entangled.
The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.
Cable ties are installed in the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.
The excess of indoor cable ties is trimmed off, and the excess of outdoor cable ties allows
about 5 mm (0.2 in.), without remaining rough edges.
Labels or nameplates must be attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they are
installed.
Security Requirements

When cables are routed indoors, engineers are required indoors for cooperation.
The feeder window must be waterproofed.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements
Cables routed outdoors must be led through a pipe when they may be damaged.
AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must be protected.
If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the ground, lead the
pipe into the cabinet base for about 3 m (9.84 ft.) to 5 m (16.4 ft.), not into the cabinet.
Block the pipe with waterproof tape or silicon gel, and secure the pipe to the cable hole at
the cabinet bottom with metal piece.
If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the metal cable trough,
do not lead the pipe into the cabinet base. The cable trough must be sealed and routed
through the cable hole at the cabinet bottom.
Cables are secured with cable clips.
Cables are routed neatly along the specified cabling direction and secured with cable clips.
The positions for cable clips are determined onsite. For example, the cable clips for the
7/8" feeder are installed at the spacing of 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) to 2 m (6.56 ft.) in the same
direction, and the cable clips for the power cables are installed at the spacing of 1 m (3.28
ft.) to 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) in the same direction.
Cable clips must be vertical with cables, and the cables in a cable clip must be parallel.
After routing cables neatly and correctly, tighten the screws on cable clips.
Secure cables on the cable tray, as shown in Figure 8-1.
