Legend
N-type RF port
RS232 Header
Seal port (not used by customer functions)
Uplink Header
Tapped Chassis Ground Point
Tapped Accessory Mounting Points
B.RF Port
The N-type RF Port connects the BSU chassis to the desired antenna, including Solectek’s
integrated, adjustable sectoral kit, external omni kit or any appropriate 3rd party product.
The RF Port may be connected to an RF Cavity Filter and/or Surge Suppressor, if desired. Please
contact Solectek Technical Support for configuration support and options.
C.RS232 Port
An RS232 management port is available for benchtesting and on-tower debugging. It is not
designed, however for access during normal BSU operation.
DOCS-1023 v1.0
D.Seal Port
This sealed access port is used during the manufacturing process to ensure each Base Station is
completely dust and watertight. Customers should not access this Port.
E.Uplink Port
The Uplink Cable is the single umbilical cord connecting the BSU to the indoor source of power
and data. Functions within the cable include the transport of: 10/100 Ethernet signals, GPS
strobe, diagnostic channels and -48V DC power.
Pre-built Uplink Cables to 80m are available directly from Solectek or your local Solectek
representative.
F.Grounding Point
Tapped hole used for attachment of grounding wire/strap, critical for proper surge suppression.
G.Accessory Mounting Point
Taped hole used for the optional attachment of external antenna surge suppressors and/or RF
cavity filters. Please contact Solectek Technical Support for configuration support and options.
V.Preparation
A.Tools
The following tools are required for the proper installation of the SkyWay MAX BSU:
- Gin pole / hoist with clamp
DOCS-1023 v1.0
-
½” ratchet-action box-end wrench
7/16” box-end wrench
¼” Allen wrench
Slip Joint Pliers
Utility knife
Cable seals
B.BSU and Cables
The BSU and both Uplink and RF Cable should be fully prepared and pretested prior to
installation.
C.Angle Bracket Installation
All four (4) angle brackets should be attached and tightened to the rear of the BSU with the
supplied screws and washers.
D.Mast Mounting Kit
The two part BSU Mast Mounting kit is designed to accommodate pipe diameters from 1” to
4 ½ inches
and provide up to 10 degrees of vertical tilt. Note that the two
Mounting Kit assemblies can be swapped (upper for lower) on the
BSU, to provide tilt in the opposite direction.
The BSU mast mounting kit should be securely attached to the BSU
angle brackets, installed in the previous step.
DOCS-1023 v1.0
E.Antenna Options
The BSU Antenna and mounting kit should be prepared in advance of Installation. When using
Solectek’s Integrated, Adjustable Sectoral Antenna, the antenna should be mounted to the BSU
and adjusted to the desired beamwidth while still on the ground.
F.RF Cavity Filters / Surge Suppressors
All Filters and Surge Suppressors should be prepared in advance of the installation. In the case of
Solectek provided filters or suppressors, the devices can be mounted directly to the BSU
simplifying cabling and minimizing RF losses.
VI. Indoor Provisioning
A. Single Sector BSU Site
Provisioning a single sector BSU involves preparing and installation of the PWR-ODB35 power
supply kit. Components of this kit should be located in a network/power closet and at the location
of the ASN switch/gateway . Connection of the kit is as follows:
AC/DC

B. Multi-Sector BSU Site
Provisioning the network and power connections of a multi-sector BSU site involves the use of
Solectek’s IDU Controller System. Please refer to Solectek document DOCS-1025, “SkyWay
MAX Indoor Base Station Controller - Installation Guide” for detailed provisioning instructions
VII.Outdoor Installation
A.Staging
It is recommended to stage and verify presence of all necessary gear at an indoor location prior to
installation. At this point, one of the mast clamp nuts should be removed from both the upper and
lower mounting bracket. This will allow the clamping jaw to rotate and to clear the mast during
positioning.
DOCS-1023 v1.0
Remove in
preparation
for lift
B.Lifting
Warning: The SkyWay MAX BSU shall be installed by tower and radio
professionals ONLY. All appropriate safety equipment should be utilized during
installation.
Route the lower end of the hoist cable around the top legs of the BSU, behind the Angle Brackets,
attaching the clamp to the cable.
Caution: Damage to the RF Cable may occur if the BSU is rested on its bottom
face.
Hoist
cable
with clamp
Using a gin pole or alternate hoist arrangement, the BSU should be carefully lifted to the desired
tower or rooftop location and position.
DOCS-1023 v1.0
The BSU Mast Mounting kit should then be fastened and secured to the designated mast pole. It is
generally easiest to secure the fixed (non-tilting) bracket first.
C.Alignment
At this point, the BSU can be rotated into suitable horizontal and vertical alignment. Once adjusted, the mast
clamps should be fully tightened and the hoist cable removed.
DOCS-1023 v1.0
D.Antenna Mounting
For installations using Solectek’s omni antenna kit or when using a 3rd party antenna, the antennas
should be mounted in a suitable location following the manufacturers mounting guidelines
E.Cable Runs
Cabling connections should now be made. To avoid directing water at the BSU interconnects,
drip loops should be utilized for all cable connections routed above the BSU.
The uplink cable, raised from ground level using the hoist cable, or other suitable means, should
be connected to the BSU, locked into place and further sealed with the supplied seal tape. Note
that the uplink cable connector is keyed and should be inserted and locked without the use of
tools.
Cable hangers, such as the 3/8” butterfly clamp pictured below, should be used to secure and
strain-relieve the uplink cable to the tower/mast.
Wireless Solutions 33950
(Available from Tessco)
Next, the RF Coaxial Cable should be attached, wrench tightened and sealed with the included
seal tape.
DOCS-1023 v1.0
Caution: Failure to follow the RF Coaxial manufacturer’s minimum bend radius
guidelines may result in a loss or performance or cable failure.
F.Grounding Straps and Surge Suppression
A grounding strap should be attached between the BSU Chassis and the Tower/Rooftop grounding
point. Additional cable and system surge suppression installation steps should also be completed
at this point. Please refer to Solectek document SkyWay MAX Outdoor Base Station - Surge
Suppression Guidelines DOCS-1033, or contact Solectek Technical Support for more information.
