TETRA MBS UNIT. INSTALLATION GUIDE F067646PT_2800 Page 26 of 62 en 6.3.1 MAST/POLE INSTALLATION 6.3.1.1 MAST/POLE SELECTION The types of section of the mast/pole where the MBS Unit can be mounted are the followings:  Circular section: Diameter from 30 mm to 130 mm  Square section: From 30 mm x 30 mm to 85 mm x 85 mm.  L section: From 30 mm x 30 mm to 110 mm x 110 mm. In the choice of the mast/pole where the MBS Unit is being installed the following recommendations must be followed:  The mast/pole has to support the loads due to the installation of some elements on them.  The mast/pole has to support the loads due to the action of the wind, snow as well as its own weight, because these are going to induce its flexion. o The mast/pole must have the enough inertia both lateral and frontal in order that the actions of different loads do not induce permanent deformations on it.  The manufacturer of the mast/pole must evaluate the structural factor of the mast/pole correctly depending on its type.  It is necessary to take into account both the height where the MBS Unit is installed and its weight/dimensions (See section “MBS Unit” in chapter (F067326PT) “SBS Technical Description” in the Standard Technical Manual). It is recommended to choose a lattice mast/pole in case of this one has a high height and it is going to be submitted to important flexion efforts. In any case, it is responsibility of the manufacturer of the mast/pole to determine if the resistant section of mast/pole is suitable. The brackets should be installed tight enough to support the MBS Unit without causing deformation of the mast/pole or areas of corrosion.

TETRA MBS UNIT. INSTALLATION GUIDE F067646PT_2800 Page 27 of 62 en Once mounted in its definitive location, if the vandal resistant kit is available, it will prevent the access / disassembly not authorized. In case of installing more than one MBS Unit on the same mast/pole, it is recommended not to mount one above the other one to avoid the heat transfer from the MBS Unit low to the MBS Unit high.

As a general rule, the frequencies assigned to the MBS Units of each MBS shall comply with the following restrictions:  Sub-band. When the MBS Units belong to the same band, these must belong to the same sub-band. Otherwise, the duplexer TX and RX filters do not provide the necessary insulation. For example, you should not combine a MBS Unit with 390-395 MHz TX subband with another with 395-400 MHz TX subband.  Frequency spacing: ∆f ≠ DS/n ∆f ≠ DS/n ± 25 KHz If DS/n is not a multiple of 25 KHz, take the multiple of 25 KHz nearest lower value to DS/n and its 2 adjacent channels (± 25 KHz). Where: ∆f is the TX frequency spacing between the MBS Units. DS is the duplex spacing, n is an integer number. If the MBS Units are combined into one antenna, will be mandatory fulfill the restrictions listed above. If each MBS Unit has its own antenna, there are several possible cases depending on the level of compliance with the foregoing restrictions:

TETRA MBS UNIT. INSTALLATION GUIDE F067646PT_2800 Page 41 of 62 en - Case 1: All MBS Units in the MBS comply with the restrictions about subband and frequency separation. In this case, is allowed to install all the antennas in the same horizontal plane following the guidelines normally applied for SBS sites about the horizontal distance between each antenna and the mast. - Case 2: The restrictions about subband and frequency separation are not complied between the MBS Units in the same MBS. In this case, the antennas installation should be done keeping an enough vertical separation between each antenna of MBS in order to obtain the necessary isolation to avoid, when all MBS Units are transmitting, an increase in the RSSI level respect to the level measured when the MBS Units are not transmitting. This option is not advisable, especially if the tower which antennas will be installed is not elevated over the ground, because may be differences of coverage between the upper antenna and the lowest that could affect the communications performance.

TETRA MBS UNIT. INSTALLATION GUIDE F067646PT_2800 Page 42 of 62 en 6.3.6 CONNECTIONS This section shows the connections to be made and the characteristics of the material to be used. The MBS Unit is a weather-protected device once the equipment has been installed in its final location; make sure that there is no MBS Unit connector without plug or cable connected. Besides, the external wiring connections of the MBS Unit must be protected from weather, (vulcanizable tape can be used if it is necessary). To connect two MBS Units you must have the interconnection kit for additional carrier (Cod. D014001PT). This is obtained as an independent accessory.

See the infrastructure event list (F067516PT). Any interference in the MBS Unit is activated when there are a large number of consecutive reception faults in the MBS Unit. A reception fault is considered when a level higher than the threshold for reception of the carrier, but is not recognized as valid TETRA signal. Depending on the signal level, interference is considered low or high. So, if the level of signal is above the threshold for reception and below the threshold set to high interference and is not recognized as a valid sign, it will be a low interference alarm. If the signal level is above the threshold set to high interference and is not recognized as a valid signal, the low level alarm would disappear (if it happened) and high interference would produce. These alarms are turned off when the interference source disappears or with any right TETRA reception for low interference case, and with more than one consecutive right reception for high-level interference.

TETRA MBS UNIT. INSTALLATION GUIDE F067646PT_2800 Page 62 of 62 en 8.2 OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION MBS Unit has several protections against lightning and surges, in any case the action of these protections generate an alarm in the NMS client which disappear when the protective element is replaced by authorized technical staff. Protection against lightning and power surges  This protection is located within the MBS Unit. It should be changed every time it breaks even if the MBS Unit continues functioning properly. An alarm in the NMS Client is reported showing that the replacement of this type of protection is needed. Protection against lightning and surges in the RF connections  RF surge protection consists of replaceable Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) located into the RF connectors located in the bottom of the MBS. Without GDT no protection is provided and VSWR performance is degraded.  The GTD is removable, making easy and quick replacing if it is damaged. The replacing intervals depend mainly upon the number and the strength of the lightning impacts but as a general rule, must be changed after that a lightning has destroyed some elements ahead (e.g. antenna). That is why the GTD rarely must be replaced in most use cases and life expectancy can be up to 20 years.  GDT is connected in parallel between the central conductor and the external shield. During an overvoltage (lightning), the tube is practically shorted and avoids overvoltage input into the MBS. When the overvoltage disappears, GTD returns to its original condition of high insulation and is ready to operate again.  While GTD is triggered (during lightning), the MBS may appear alarmed in the NMS client software (alarm monitoring of the system).
