SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 Aug 14 Page 13 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE For the 50 W SDB680 Base Stations, the operating temperature range is: −30 °C to +60 °C (−22 °F to +140 °F) ambient temperature. The storage temperature range is −40 °C to +80 °C (−40 °F to +176 °F). Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the air at the intake to the cooling fans. HUMIDITY The humidity should not exceed 95% relative humidity non-condensing through the specified operating temperature range. DUST AND DIRT The SDB680 Base Station has an Ingress Protection rating of IP30, i.e. it provides protection against access to hazardous parts and the ingress of solid foreign objects >12.5 mm in size. VENTILATION The SDB680 Base Station uses forced air cooling to maintain internal temperatures and adequate cooling airflow is critical to the performance of the base station. Whether wall mounted or rack mounted, always ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the base station. The ambient temperature must be kept within the specified range and it is strongly recommended that the cooling airflow is not restricted. For the SDB680 Base Station, the essential cooling airflow (recommended <40 °C) enters through one side of the unit and the hot exhaust air exits at the rear of the unit. For optimal thermal performance, heated air that has passed through the base station must not be allowed to re-enter the air intakes of the unit. At least 72 cm2 of ventilation MUST be provided for each base station at the inlet AND at the outlet. In order to allow enough airflow through a rack mounted base station, it is recommended that:  A minimum distance of 5 cm clearance to any obstruction at the front of the unit.  A minimum distance of 10 cm clearance to any obstruction at the rear of the unit.  An open area of at least 50 cm2 per tray of ventilation slots or louvres in front of the air intakes for the fans of each unit; e.g. ten 6 x 85 mm slots will allow the recommended airflow.  An open area of at least 50 cm2 per tray of ventilation slots or louvres to the rear of each tray or in the top of the rack.  A 2U gap at the top of the rack. Note. The ventilation openings must be unrestricted. If the openings are covered with a filter or grille, the open area must be increased in order to provide the same airflow as unrestricted openings. If the SDB680 Base Station is installed in a rack or cabinet with other equipment that has different ventilation requirements, it is recommended that the SDB680 be positioned below this equipment.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 Aug 14 Page 14 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS If multiple bases are fitted in a rack, auxiliary extractor fans may be required to ensure that adequate cooling is provided. If any other configuration is employed, the performance of the system will depend on how closely you comply with the airflow requirements described above. In a wall mount installation, it is recommended that at least 20 cm of clear space is allowed above and below the equipment for ventilation. Equipment rooms as a whole should be checked for adequate ventilation so that they do not overheat. Correct operation of internal fans should be checked prior to completion of the installation. Any secondary ventilation equipment (rack fans, grills etc.) should be checked for correct operation and to ensure that they are free from blockage. Filters are not recommended on enclosures unless they can be regularly maintained. MOUNTING LOCATION A clean and dry location that meets the above ventilation requirements should be chosen for mounting the equipment. The unit should not be sited where it will be exposed to long periods of direct sunlight. Provision should be made for bringing the antenna feeder(s), IP cables, station earth and the AC and/or DC supply leads to the installation. These cables must be firmly anchored, in accordance with good installation practice and comply with all local mandatory wiring requirements. WALL MOUNT When installing the wall mount unit, it is essential that the vertical surface chosen for the positioning of the equipment is of a solid construction as the weight of the SDB680 Base Station can be as much as 10 kg when fully equipped.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 Aug 14 Page 15 POWER SUPPLIES POWER SUPPLIES For type approval reasons, this product should not be operated with unapproved supplies. The equipment must be installed so that the IEC connector for the Wall or Rack Mount can be easily removed and/or the power socket should be readily accessible. Mains protective Earth should be checked for low impedance (<0.3 Ω). All mains wiring must comply with local wiring regulations. POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS The SDB680 Base Station is only available as a DC version, which uses an external DC power source. The PSU tray can be used to supply the DC voltage required. The switch mode supplies used in the wall mount and rack mount ancillaries are able to accept mains AC voltage in the range of 85 V to 265 V @ 1.9 A, 47 Hz to 63 Hz. The output from the switched mode power supply to the SDB680 Base Station is +14.0 Voltage Direct Current (VDC). PSU TRAY The PSU Tray can be either a 1U or 2U rack tray with a front panel and is designed for use with an SDB680 Base Station in an enclosed 19” rack. Together, an SDB680 Base Station and the PSU Tray occupy a total of either 3U or 4U of rack space. The tray is supplied complete with a universal power supply, which can accept an IEC input of 100 V to 240 V AC (Voltage Alternating Current), at 50/60 Hz suitable for a single SDB680 Base Station. The voltage range appropriate to the area of use is selectable on the universal PSU. AC POWER CORD A 2 m long cable is used to connect the AC Mains Supply to the PSU tray in the rack mount. An appropriate version of power cord, relevant to the area of use, is supplied with the PSU Tray. Relevant areas of use are as follows: United Kingdom. Rest of Europe. United States.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 Aug 14 Page 16 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS This section gives an overview of the external connections that are made to the SDB680 Base Station. It also provides details of the pin-outs for these connections. GENERAL All cabling should be installed so that the equipment can be accessed for servicing purposes without straining the cables or connectors used. Where equipment is rack mounted, cables must be run so that the unit can be fully withdrawn on its runners without straining, catching or pinching any of the cables. Cables should be dressed into cable trays etc where available and run so as to reduce likelihood of damage from vermin or adverse environments. Multi-strand wires must be used wherever the wire will be flexed by accessing the equipment.
