Power and Grounding

Cautions When Using Insulation Tester

Pay attention to the followings to prevent any personal injury caused by an

electric shock when using an insulation tester.

- Make sure the polarity is correct when connecting the Earth COM (black) and

AC.V (red) lead lines. And do not touch the connected probes inspecting part of

the lead line) with a hand and avoid body contact.

- Avoid body contact to the system when measuring an insulation resistance.

Watches, rings, and other metallic accessories

Do not wear accessories such as watches and rings in order to prevent electrical

short-circuit.

Power Switch Off

Make sure the power switch of power supplier is off when installing the system.

Installing the system with power switch on may cause system damage or fatal

human injury when cables are not correctly connected.

Connecting Ground Cable

When connecting the cables, always connect the ground cable first. If worker

contacts the equipment, connect a cable or perform maintenance without

connecting the ground cable, the system can be damaged or a worker may be

injured due to static electricity and short circuit.

Turning Off the Circuit Breaker before Connecting the Power Cable

Since power is applied to the system where the power cable is connected by

manipulating the circuit breaker of the AC distributor, be sure to check the AC

distributor’s breaker and the system switch are turned off (open) before

connecting the power cable to the power connector. If the system is installed

while the circuit breaker and system switch is on, the worker may be critically

injured as soon as the cable is connected in the wrong way.

Protection gloves and goggles

Make sure that worker wears protection gloves and goggles to prevent damage

from debris while drilling holes in a wall or ceiling.

Power and Feeder line

Cautions while Cleaning Power Supply

While cleaning the power supply device, take caution that the device does not

come in contact with alien bodies that may cause power failure.

Precautions While Measuring Insulation Resistance

Observe the followings to prevent any system damage when measuring insulation

resistance because there is a very high voltage.

- Before measuring insulation resistance, disconnect all the cables connected to

the system.

- Do not measure insulation resistance when power is on.

- Do not measure insulation resistance at any other positions such as system

internal units or parts other than the targeted insulation resistance measuring

points.

System Grounding Method

Ground bar for lightning protector/power/communication must be isolated from

each other. These three ground bars can be grounded as the isolation grounding

method, or branched from ground mesh buried in the underground as common

grounding method.

Precautions When Connecting Power Cable

To secure rainproof performance of a cable gland, min. 11.81 in. (300 mm)

straight section must be maintained. Here, the radius of curvature must be

considered according to the cable specification.

When Using Power Cables

- When handling the power cable, ensure the power switch of a rectifier is turned

off to prevent the risk from the power cable and electric short-circuit of related

cables.

- Because a power accident may occur when fixing parts get loosened, make

sure that fasteners to fix the power cable should be firmly fastened.

- The resistance temperature of power cable should be higher than 194°F (90°C).

AC Power cable

In case of using AC power cable (AWG 14, F-FR-8 1.5 mm2 × 3C), it is applicable up

to 721.8 ft (220 m). When the distance is 721.8 ft (220 m), followings should be

considered.

- Do not rapid ON/OFF (within one second): The voltage loss value caused by the

cable resistance, and the Outdoor Pico could be damaged by the counter

electromotive force caused by the cable inductance.

- Do not use the power cables linked: Using the power cables linked each other,

the loss will be increased.

- For the length of the AC power cable, follow the safety regulation of the

installation site.

Cautions When Connecting AC Power

When connecting the AC power cable to the L1-GND-L2, check the polarity of

each phase at the L1-GND-L2 single-phase connection area of AC power

distributor to ensure that correct polarity is connected to the L1-GND-L2 of the

system's input end. Check if the 120V-240 V between L1 and L2 is within the

allowable range (with tolerance of +/-10%).

Connection of Feeder Cable Connector

Connecting the feeder cable connector is critical process, so the qualified workers

who finished the related education should perform.

Installing the Antenna

When you install the antenna, the antenna must be within the protective angle

(left/right side 45° each from the central axis) to prevent the antenna from

lightning damage.

Cautions on the Min. Radius of Curvature of GPS Cable and Its Length

Limitation

If the GPS cable min. radius of curvature or its length limitation is violated, a GPS

signal may not be received seamlessly and it may cause abnormal system

operation. Therefore, the min. radius of curvature and length limitation of a GPS

cable proposed in the above table must be observed.

Checking VSWR for Minimum Cable Bend Radius and Length of RF Cable

If the VSWR value for minimum cable bend radius and length of RF cable is not

applied, system may not work properly because RF signals cannot transmit or

receive smoothly. So, the VSWR value for minimum cable bend radius and length

of RF cable must be checked and applied.

Cautions When Measuring VSWR

When measuring VSWR, if you open the antenna port when the transmission

output is not completely off, a spike signal may flow into the reception path, which

may cause damage to LNA. Make sure the transmission output is completely off

when measuring VSWR.

Cautions When Connecting Feeder Lines

If you install the feeder line which is connected to the system, it may damage the

system and cable connection. Therefore, it is recommended to install the feeder line

up to the system's input port before connecting the feeder line to the system.

General Installation

When Cleaning the System

Be careful not to damage the cables when cleaning the system.

Do not Work by Yourself

Worker must not work alone in any key process.

Finishing the System Input/output Port and Cable Inlet

To prevent foreign substances, outdoor air and moisture from entering the system

input/output port and cable inlet (including cable gland and conduit), finish it as

follows:

- Unused inlet

Use the hole finishing materials including waterproof cap and rubber packing.

- Cable-installed Port and Cable Inlet

After cable installation, block any space in the inlet with tape, compressed

sponge, rubber packing, and silicon.

Checking Marking (horizontal/vertical) When Mounting the System on Wall

If you do the drilling or anchoring on a wall when the positions are not marked to

be horizontal or vertical, only limited range of tuning is allowed for leveling after

the system is mounted.

To mount the system on a wall, perform the leveling test by referring to ‘System

Leveling’ to check the positions are marked to be horizontal or vertical before

drilling. If the result shows they are not horizontal or vertical, modify the marking

positions.

Considerations when Cutting the Cable after Installation

When cutting the cable after installation, make sure that the connector is

disconnected. Installation of the cable with the connector connected to the system

may cause contact failure or damage to the connector assembled to the system

and the cable due to cable tension or the operator’s mistakes.

2.2.2 Marking and Drilling

Marking

Before placing the system, mark the position where the system will be installed and also

the positions where anchor bolts will be fixed using a ink line or a pen.

Checking Marking (horizontal/vertical) When Mounting the System on Wall

If you do the drilling or anchoring on a wall when the positions are not marked to

be horizontal or vertical, only limited range of tuning is allowed for leveling after

the system is mounted.

To mount the system on a wall, perform the leveling test by referring to ‘System

Leveling’ to check the positions are marked to be horizontal or vertical before

drilling. If the result shows they are not horizontal or vertical, modify the marking

positions.

Position, Specifications and Marking of Anchor Bolt

Before starting work, be sure to check the fixing method for the Outdoor Pico

because the marking and drilling positions and specifications may differ per the

fixing method.

Marking Using the System

When the position where the system will be placed is determined, place the

system on the position and then mark the positions where anchor bolts will be

fixed using a pen. This will reduce marking error range caused by a worker.

Cable Path Inspection

When installing a cable that connects between the rectifier, Main Ground Bar (MGB), and

backhaul device, etc. within the system, the cable path, length and the cable installation

method, etc. must be inspected.

Follow these guidelines when inspecting the cabling path.

y A minimum cable length must be selected provided that it does not affect the cable

installation and maintenance.

y The cable must be placed in a location where it will not be damaged by external

factors. (power line, flooding, footpaths, etc.)

y In areas where the cable may be damaged by external factors, ensure that measures are

taken to prevent damage to the cable. (cable tray, ducts, flexible pipe, etc.)

Cable Cutting

Measure the exact distance, carefully checking the route, and cut the cable using a cutting tool.

Follow these guidelines when cutting the cable.

y Cut the cable to the length determined in the Cable Path Inspection step.

y Use a cable cutting tool specific to the cable.

y Cut the cable at right angles.

y Be careful to keep the cable away from any moisture, iron, lead, dust or other foreign

material when cutting.

y Remove any foreign material attached to the cable using solvent and a brush.

Cable Installation

Cable installation involves running the cable along the cabling path to the target connector

of the system or an auxiliary device after cable path inspection and cable cutting have been

completed.

Follow these guidelines when installing a cable.

y Be careful not to damage the cable.

y If the cable is damaged, cut out the damaged section before installing, or replace the

cable.

y Run the cable so that it is not tangled. In particular, when installing a cable from a

horizontal section to a vertical section, be careful not to reverse the upper and lower

lines of the cable.

y Always use the maximum curvature radius possible, and make sure that the minimum

curvature radius specification is complied with.

y If the cable needs to be protected, use a PVC channel, spiral sleeve, flexible pipe, and

cable tray, etc.

Cable Binding

Cable binding involves fixing and arranging an installed cable using binding thread, cable

ties, binding wire, and ram clamps, etc.

Follow these guidelines when binding a cable.

y Be careful not to damage the cable during binding.

y Use appropriate cable binding tools according to the target location (indoor or outdoor,

etc.) and the use of the cable (power supply cable, optical cable, feeder line, etc.).

y Do not let the cutting section of a cable tie and binding line, etc. be exposed to the

outside. This may cause damage to cables or personal injury. Make sure that the

cutting sections of cables are not exposed to the outside.

y Cut off the remainder of the cable binding thread by leaving about 1.97 in. (50 mm) of

extra length and put it through the knot so that the knot does not get untied.

y If there is a danger that contact failure may occur in a connector connection due to

tension, install the cable as short as possible.

Connector Attachment

Connector attachment involves assembling a connector to an installed cable or to a device

on the site.

Follow these guidelines when attaching a connector.

y Make sure you are fully aware of the connector assembly method before assembling a

connector. Assemble the connector in accordance with its pin map.

y Each connector has a latch to prevent its core positions from being changed.

y Check the corresponding grooves before connecting a connector to another connector.

y Use a heat shrink tube at a connector connection for cables that are installed outdoor,

such as feeder lines, to prevent water leakage and corrosion from occurring at the part

exposed to the outside.

Ver.

CHAPTER 3. Connecting Cables

1.0

y Connect each cable of the connector assembly in a straight line.

y Make sure there is no cable strain by using extra cable length or cable ties.

Identification Tag Attachment

Identification tag attachment involves attaching a marker cable tie, nameplate, and label, etc.

to the both ends of a cable (connections to a connector) to identify its use and cabling path.

Marker Cable Tie

On the marker cable tie, a label can be attached.

The appearance and specification may differ depending

on the type and manufacturer.

Follow these guidelines when attaching an identification tag.

y When installing a cable outdoor, use relief engraving and coated labels, etc. to prevent

the markings from being erased.

y Since the form and attachment method for identification tags are different for each

provider, consult with the provider before attaching them.

Connecting Ground Cable

When connecting the cables, always connect the ground cable first. If worker

contacts the equipment, connects a cable or performs maintenance without

connecting the ground cable, the system can be damaged or a worker may be

injured due to static electricity and short circuit.

Management of Unused Ports

Cover the unused ports (conduit, cable gland, etc.) with waterproof cap (sealing

cap) to prevent infiltration of foreign material such as dust, moisture, or bug.

Cable Installation Checklist

When installing, take care not to overlap or tangle the cables; also, consider

future expansion. Install the DC power cable and data transmission cable away

from the AC power cable to prevent electromagnetic induction.

Cable Works

Make sure the work is done by personnel properly trained for the job.

3.3 Grounding

Grounding is required for protecting complex electronic or electric systems such as power

system, communication system, and control system from lightning, over-current, over-

voltage, and electric noise. Thus, the systems can operate properly and protect human life

from electrical shock. Ground equipment minimizes the electrical potential of the electronic

device to that of the ground, which is zero electrical potential, so that it can prevent the

device from occurring electrification.

The purposes of the ground construction are as follows:

y To prevent human life and the system from over-current, over-voltage, and lightning

y To provide a discharge path for surge voltage generated by lightning and power switch

y To protect the system from static electricity

y To eliminate or minimize the high-frequency potential in the system housing

y To provide a conductor for the balance and stability of high-frequency current

y To stabilize the potential of the circuit against the ground

Connecting Ground Cable

In cabling, the connection of cables without the connection to the ground cable

may cause the damage of the equipment or the bodily injury of the worker.

Connect the ground cable first.

System Grounding Method

Ground bar for lightning protector/power/communication must be isolated from

each other. These three ground bars can be grounded as the isolation grounding

method, or branched from ground mesh buried in the underground as common

grounding method.

3.4 Power Cabling

The power supply is configured as follows.

Figure 21. Power Equipment Diagram

Turning Off the Circuit Breaker before Connecting the Power Cable

Since power is applied to the system where the power cable is connected by

manipulating the circuit breaker of the AC distributor, be sure to check the AC

distributor’s circuit breaker is turned off (open) before connecting the power cable

to the power connector. If the system is installed while the circuit breaker is on,

the worker may be critically injured as soon as the cable is connected in the

wrong way.

When Using Power Cables

- When handling the power cable, ensure the power switch of a rectifier or the

system is turned off to prevent the risk from the power cable and electric short-

circuit of related cables.

AC Power cable

In case of using AC power cable (AWG 14, F-FR-8 1.5 mm2 × 3C), it is applicable up

to 721.8 ft (220 m). When the distance is 721.8 ft (220 m), followings should be

considered.

- Do not rapid ON/OFF (within one second): The voltage loss value caused by the

cable resistance, and the Outdoor Pico could be damaged by the counter

electromotive force caused by the cable inductance.

- Do not use the power cables linked: Using the power cables linked each other,

the loss will be increased.

- For the length of the AC power cable, follow the safety regulation of the

installation site.

Cautions When Connecting AC Power

When connecting the AC power cable to the L1-GND-L2, check the polarity of

each phase at the L1-GND-L2 single-phase connection area of AC power

distributor to ensure that correct polarity is connected to the L1-GND-L2 of the

system's input end. Check if the 120V-240 V between L1 and L2 is within the

allowable range (with tolerance of +/-10%).

Finishing the System Input/output Port and Cable Inlet

To prevent foreign substances, outdoor air and moisture from entering the system

input/output port and cable inlet (including cable gland and conduit), finish it as

follows:

- Unused inlet

Use the hole finishing materials including waterproof cap and rubber packing.

- Cable-installed Port and Cable Inlet

After cable installation, block any space in the inlet with tape, compressed

sponge, rubber packing, and silicon.

Power Cable Color

In the table above, the cable color is based on local code that inner wire of F-FR-

8 × 3 core cable. The color of the inner wires may vary depending on the type and

manufacturer of the cable used.

Finishing the Holes on AC Distributor

When laying the power cable through the input/output port (conduit) at the bottom

of the AC distributor, a young board should be used to prevent foreign substances

from coming into the inside.

Checking RF Cable Connection

After connecting the RF cables, perform the continuity test and feeder cable return loss to

check if the RF cable is changed and measure VSWR of antenna and RF cable.

Measure all cables of section ~. The measured VSWR should be the specification

value or less. If the VSWR exceeds the specification value, disassemble the connector and

measure each section separately.

Checking VSWR for Minimum Cable Bend Radius and Length of RF Cable

If the VSWR value for minimum cable bend radius and length of RF cable is not

applied, system may not work properly because RF signals cannot transmit or

receive smoothly. So, the VSWR value for minimum cable bend radius and length

of RF cable must be checked and applied.

Cautions When Measuring VSWR

When measuring VSWR, if you open the antenna port when the transmission

output is not completely off, a spike signal may flow into the reception path, which

may cause damage to LNA. Make sure the transmission output is completely off

when measuring VSWR.

Cautions When Connecting Feeder Lines

If you install the feeder line which is connected to the system, it may damage the

system and cable connection. Therefore, it is recommended to install the feeder

line up to the system's input port before connecting the feeder line to the system.

Checking the Specifications of Antenna Connector

Depending on the supplier or manufacturer of antenna, the connector type may

be different. Also, the detail specifications of a connector may be different

depending on cable type even for the same connector type.

Therefore, check the detail specifications of a connector before preparing parts.

ANNEX A. GPS Antenna Installation

A.1.1 GPS Antenna

Installation Requirements for the GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna must be installed in a location where it has the maximum amount of open sky.

The ideal position is one where there are no obstacles that interfere with the antenna within

10 degrees or more of the horizon (the Elevation Angle). This allows the GPS receiver to

select the best combination or distribution of GPS satellites which gives optimal

performance.

Figure 37. Elevation Mask and Satellites

For good signal strength, you don’t have to place the GPS antenna on a high pole or

building, which is often required for RFs and microwaves.

Any place where there are no obstacles blocking the GPS antenna from the sky and where

it is protected from the elements such as outside interference is suitable. In this case, you

can even install it on the ground.

However, you can prevent the GPS antenna from malfunctioning by installing it in a place

where it does not receive reflected satellite signals. As multi-path interference greatly

affects the accuracy of the GPS receiver, it is better to minimize reflected satellite signals

entering through the top of the GPS antenna.

Therefore, the GPS antenna installation location must meet the following three conditions.

Considerations for Elevation Mask

Considering the elevation mask, make the GPS antenna take the signals received

at a valid elevation angle only.

Countermeasures for External Interference and Multi-path Influences

If a GPS antenna is influenced by external interference signals or multi-paths at

a certain place, it is best to re-install the antenna at another place. Anti-jamming

GPS antenna is recommended if it is not possible to change the location of the

antenna.

GPS Antenna Sharing

To ensure the GPS receiver works properly, it is recommended you install one GPS antenna

per GPS receiver. It is also recommended you use a GPS-specific splitter only if absolutely

necessary.

Installing the GPS Antenna

The signals from a GPS satellite have a very low level (-130 dBm). Because of this, the

GPS antenna to receive them should be installed in a place where it can receive signals as

directly as possible from as many satellites as possible.

Therefore, it is important to ensure there is maximum open sky (the visual field angle must

be 360 degrees, and there must be 160 degrees or more above the horizon). This means that

the antenna is mostly installed on a high place, such as a roof. If there is an obstacle within

those angles, it decreases the performance and functionality of the GPS receiver.

The GPS satellites are distributed so that eight of them can always be tracked from any one

place across the world, as long as there is no obstacle to them in that particular place.

For the GPS receiver to operate at its best, there must be always six GPS satellites with a

healthy status (i.e., there is no obstacle directly between it and the GPS antenna).

If the position hold operation has been completed, the GPS receiver can only perform its

operations stably if at least one satellite can be tracked continually.

GPS Satellite Tracking and Position Hold

The survey of an object’s position using GPS satellites is based on triangulation.

Three satellites are enough to survey the position of an object by triangulation.

However, to calculate the correct time deviation, a total of four satellites are

required.

Ver.

ANNEX A. GPS Antenna Installation

2600-00FOTGGAA 6.0

Usually, the GPS antenna is installed in a high place, such as on a roof. It must be installed

away from protruding objects, such as trees or buildings. In addition, it must be positioned

away from any obstacle which covers part of the sky around the horizon of the building

where it is installed.

If it is impossible to ensure a completely open sky, you should install the GPS antenna

facing the equator providing a maximum view of the Southern sky (Northern sky in the

Southern hemisphere).

Furthermore, when installing the GPS antenna using a steel cylinder structure shared by

other RF antennas, it must be separated by more than 1 m from that steel structure.

Figure 38. GPS Antenna Installation

A.1.2 Lightening Arrestor

A lightning arrestor is required when there is a danger of lightning striking a cable or

related part. The lightning arrestor must be installed in a place where the antenna cable or

set of combined cables enters a building or station, or a place inside the building or station.

The purpose of this is to protect the people and equipment inside the building or station.

If struck directly by lightning, the lightning arrestor, antenna, or cable must be replaced.

Furthermore, you must inspect the lightening arrestor periodically, and replace the antenna

and cable periodically to ensure protection if lightning occurs frequently at the site.

The lightning arrestor must be well grounded so that it can transmit a large current quickly.

A.2 Interference Signal

The GPS system is designed so that it has a strong immunity to noise and can endure

interference.

The Samsung GPS receiver provides a quality timing clock in most installations.

However, to ensure that the GPS receiver performs locking successfully and guarantees

uninterrupted timing performance, an interference-free environment is required for

frequencies near the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ± 1 MHz).

Interference Types

There are two types of interference which affect the GPS L1 frequency.

y Narrow band (inband) interference

When a frequency deviation (3.5 kHz), such as an FM wave, inflows in around the

GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz). This is called narrow band (inband) interference.

Narrow band interference is monitored by the spectrum analyzer. But because it has a

time lag, a locking failure or a different type of alarm can occur.

y Wideband interference

When around the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz), the frequency deviation is more

than 7 kHz. This is called wide band interference.

Wideband interference includes the interference induced by the harmonics from a

communication service with a different frequency bandwidth, increased thermal noise

from communication services around the L1 band, inflow of interference due to

unauthorized communication, saturation due to oscillation of an accessory device etc.

You cannot monitor these kinds of interferences with a device such as a spectrum

analyzer. If the system has a wideband interference problem, you should consult an

expert in this area.

For other bandwidths except the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ± 1 MHz), a GPS Band Pass

Filter (BPF) must be included within the GPS antenna to remove the interference from the

GPS bandwidth. No outband interference must affect the GPS signals.

Avoiding Interferences

If more than one antenna for other communications, such as an antenna for a base station or

satellite communication, is installed in the surroundings, the GPS antenna must be installed

in a location to which no interference signals flow in.

If interference exists within the GPS L1 frequency bandwidths (1575.42 ± 1 MHz), you

should use a band pass filter to prevent them from affecting it.

Furthermore, if the GPS antenna is installed by a transmitter which operates with a

bandwidth similar to the GPS L1 frequency, the possibility of interference increases (in this

case, interference is caused by harmonics). If the GPS antenna has a problem due to

interference, you must move it to a different location where interference signals can be

avoided or minimized in strength.

Ver.

ANNEX A. GPS Antenna Installation

2600-00FOTGGAA 6.0

Inband Noise

Inband noise includes narrow band noise and wide band noise that occur in an

inband width. (L1, 1575.42 ± 1 MHz)

- Narrow band noise in an inband width: If it is higher than 108 dBm it can affect

the operation of the GPS receiver.

- Wideband noise in an inband width: It may not be detected by a measuring

instrument and impair the sensitivity of the GPS receiver, and thus affect its

operation.

If there is an outband interference problem, you can reduce the effects of interference on

the GPS receiver by applying one or more L1 GPS band pass filters.

The filter should be installed at the following locations:

y The input connector of the Samsung GPS receiver

y Behind the antenna or the front end of a line amplifier

The filters above are used to reject jamming tones for outband signals. If interferences

actually occur in the inband signals, they will result in serious consequences.

A.3 GPS Antenna Installation

The GPS antenna can be fixed to a wall, floor, tower, pole, etc.

Ensure you are safe when fixing an anchor bolt to a wall and treat the anchor bolt fixing

area with a silicon or waterproof finishing material.

Installing the Concrete Block

A concrete block should be installed that satisfies the specification regarding size

and strength. When installing the concrete block, and before forming the

concrete, steel reinforcement bars should be arranged in a mesh layout at

3.93 in. (100 mm) intervals before forming the concrete. (Either an anchor bolt

assembly or a concrete anchor can be used.)

Installing the Antenna

When you install the antenna, antenna must be within the protective angle

(left/right side 45° each from the central axis) to prevent the antenna from

lightning damage.

Distance between the Antennas

When installing antenna, 3.28~4.92 ft (1~1.5 m) distance must be secured

between the antennas for preventing interference.
