User Manual Part 4
Section INSTALLATION 2-1. INTRODUCTION This section contains installation recommendations, unpacking, inspection, and installation instructions for the Multicarrier Cellular Amplifier System. Carefully read all material in this section prior to equipment unpacking or installation. Also read and review the operating procedures in Section 3 prior to installing the equipment. Section 3 contains applicable standards imposed by the Federal Communications Commission. It is important that the licensee perform these tasks correctly and in good faith. Carefully read Parts 73 and 74 of the FCC rules to determine how they apply to your installation. DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH YOUR LICENSE. 2-2. ELECTRICAL SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS Powerwave Technologies recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression be provided on the primary AC input to the +27 Vdc power source. All electrical service should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, any applicable state or local codes, and good engineering practice. Special consideration should be given to lightning protection of all systems in view of the vulnerability of most transmitter sites to lightning. Lightning arrestors are recommended in the service entrance. Straight, short ground runs are recommended. The electrical service must be well grounded. Each amplifier system should have its own circuit breaker, so a failure in one does not shut off the whole installation. Circuit breakers should be thermal type, capable of handling the anticipated inrush current, in a load center with a master switch. 2-3. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION This equipment has been operated, tested, and calibrated at the factory. Only in the event of severe shocks or other mistreatment should any substantial readjustment be required. Carefully open the containers and remove the subrack and amplifier modules. Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event that the unit must be returned to the factory. CAUTION Exercise care in handling equipment during inspection to prevent damage caused by rough or careless handling. Visually inspect the amplifier subrack and modules for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extraneous packing material in connectors or fans. Inspect all connectors for bent connector pins. If the equipment is damaged, a claim should be filed with the carrier once the extent of any damage is assessed. We cannot stress too strongly the importance of IMMEDIATE careful inspection of the equipment and the subsequent IMMEDIATE filing of the necessary claims against the carrier if necessary. If possible, inspect the equipment in the presence of the delivery person. If the equipment is damaged, the carrier is your first area of recourse. If the equipment is damaged and must be returned to the factory, write or phone for a return authorization. Powerwave may not accept returns without a return authorization. Claims for loss or damage may not be withheld from any payment to Powerwave, nor may any payment due be withheld pending the outcome thereof. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE FREIGHT CARRIER'S PERFORMANCE. 044-05055 Rev. A 2-1 2-4.
