1.1
What Is a Site Evaluation?
A site evaluation consists of a series of procedures for gathering specific information about
potential IFU locations. These processes are outlined in Section 1.4, Site Evaluation Process.
Use these procedures to gather the required information and record that information on the site
evaluation form. This information is critical to the successful design and deployment of a
network.
1.2
Why Perform a Site Evaluation?
Site evaluations are required to confirm whether or not a building meets network design
requirements. The main objectives are as follows:
•
•
Confirm:
ß

Prepare site drawings and record site information on the site evaluation form
A site evaluation form, similar to that shown in Section 1.5, Documenting a Site Evaluation,
should be used to record data for each site. Building data collected using a form such as this
provides the information required to confirm network design, develop site drawings for
equipment and cable installation, and perform interference analysis.
1.3
Preparing for a Site Evaluation
The following tools and forms are required to perform a site evaluation:

Identify potential buildings by identifying targeted customers
Identify potential links by selecting buildings based on the high probability of line of
sight
•
Arrange for access with the facility personnel into the buildings, equipment rooms, and
architectural plans to become familiar with the location of all ducts, risers, etc.
•
Obtain the required site evaluation forms (see Section 1.5, Documenting a Site Evaluation).
Site Evaluation Process
The following steps must be completed to perform a successful site evaluation. Each step in the
process is detailed in the following subparagraphs:
•
Ensure RF Safety Compliance

Installation and Commissioning Guide - R2.0
1.4.2
Ensure Compliance With Laws, Regulations, Codes,
and Agreements
Ensure that any installation performed as a result of the site evaluation is in full compliance with
applicable federal and local laws, regulations, electrical codes, building codes, fire codes, and
licensing agreements.
1.4.3
Establish Line of Sight Between IFUs
The most critical step in conducting a site evaluation is confirming clear line of sight (LOS)
between a near IFU and a far IFU; if LOS does not exist, another location must be used.
NOTE: Throughout this book, near IFU refers to the IFU at the site location being
evaluated. Far IFU refers to the IFU at the other end of the link in the network.
IFUs in a link must have a clear view of each other, or “line of sight.” Binoculars may be used to
evaluate the path from the desired location of the near IFU to the desired location of the far IFU.
To confirm the line of site:
•
Ensure that no obstructions are close to the transmitting/receiving path. Take into
consideration trees, bridges, construction of new buildings, unexpected aerial traffic,
window washing units, etc.
•
Ensure that each IFU can be mounted in the position required to correctly align the IFU with
its link partner (see Section A.2, IFU Mounting Bracket).
1.4.4
Determine IFU Mounting Requirements
Use the following information to determine the mounting location and method (wall mount or
pole mount) for each IFU. After defining the mounting location for the IFU, re-confirm the line
of sight.
NOTE: Review the proposed installation locations with the building manager before
installing IFUs.
Wall-Mount Criteria
IFUs can be mounted to a parapet wall, screen wall, or penthouse wall provided that the
following criteria are met:
1-4
•
The wall is structurally capable of supporting at least 90 pounds (40 kilograms) per IFU.
•
The wall is structurally capable of supporting wind loading conditions of up to 125 miles
(201 kilometers) per hour.
•
The wall allows through-hole bolt mounting.
•
The space for the IFU, its mounting bracket, and the alignment area must be at least
65 inches by 65 inches by 30 inches (165 centimeters x 165 centimeters x 76 centimeters)
(W x H x D).
© 2001 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Site Evaluation
•
A minimum of 0.5 inch (12.7 millimeters) diameter or bolts with lock washers or positive
locking nuts are used.
•
The minimum distance between IFUs is three feet (91 centimeters). Refer to the Triton
Network Systems white paper RF Design Guidelines for Consecutive Point Networks for
additional information about colocating IFUs.
•
The bottom of the IFU is a minimum of seven feet above the roof to ensure line of site is
maintained.
NOTE: The Triton Network Systems preferred mounting location is on a wall, as walls are
generally structurally sound.
Pole-Mount Criteria
IFUs can be mounted to a free-standing pole, or a pole attached to a wall, provided that the
following criteria are met:
•
The pole is capable of supporting at least 90 pounds (40 kilograms) per IFU, plus the wind
loading as required by local building codes. For free-standing poles, consult the pole
manufacturer for the required ballast weight to secure the pole based on wind loading
requirements.
•
The bottom of the IFU is a minimum of seven feet above the roof to ensure line of site is
maintained
•
The Triton Network Systems recommended outside diameter for a mounting pole is from 3.0
inches (7 centimeters) to 4.5 inches (11 centimeters).
•
The minimum vertical distance between IFUs is three feet (91 centimeters). Refer to the
Triton Network Systems white paper RF Design Guidelines for Consecutive Point Networks
for additional information about colocating IFUs.
1.4.5
Ensure Building Aesthetics
The IFUs streamlined exterior is designed to complement building aesthetics. Ensure that the
IFU can be mounted so that it is aesthetically pleasing to the environment and to the property
owner. Aesthetics must be approved by the property owner and the network engineer.
Refer to Painting Guidelines on page A-4 for guidelines on painting an IFU enclosure.
1.4.6
Document Potential Sources of Colocation Interference
When IFUs are located on a roof or pole with other transmitters and receivers, an interference
analysis may be required to determine and resolve possible interference issues. The interference
analysis needs to be performed by an RF engineer. The specific information required for each
transmitter and receiver includes the following:
•
Transmitting and/or receiving frequency
•
Type of antenna
•
Distance from IFU (horizontal and vertical)
© 2001 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
1-5
Installation and Commissioning Guide - R2.0
•
Polarity (horizontal or vertical)
•
Transmit power level
•
Antenna direction
1.4.7
Measure the Link Distance
The two ways to measure link distance are as follows:
•
GPS - record the latitude and longitude for the near and far IFU sites and calculate the link
distance.
NOTE: Record the mapping datum used by the GPS unit and ensure the same mapping
datum is used for all site evaluations in a given network.
•
Rangefinder - measure the link distance (imperial or metric units may be used).
Once the link distance has been measured, verify that the link distance meets the availability
requirements for the link.
1.4.8
Select the Grounding Location
Identify the connection point for grounding the IFU bracket. The required grounding location is
the building ground. Determine the nearest location of the building ground and measure the
distance from the IFU bracket.
An earth ground strap should be run from the IFU mounting location to the building earth
ground. This grounding should comply with all codes and should be kept isolated from any
building lightning protection to prevent any damage to the IFU. If a surge suppression panel is
used, it should also be grounded to the buildings earth ground, but run separately.
1.4.9
Determine Fiber Demarcation and Surge Suppression
Location (Optional)
If a fiber demarcation box or a surge suppressor is being used, then the length of the cable and
the cable type needs to be determined. Fiber demarcation and surge suppression can be indoors
or outdoors. Surge suppression devices should be grounded to the building ground.
NOTE: Section 1.4.11, Determine the Length of Fiber Cable Assemblies provides
guidelines for determining wether an installation site will require a fiber demarcation box.
NOTE: To save and protect in-building equipment, Triton Network Systems recommends
the use of a surge suppressor for GPI and power cables.

Site Evaluation
1.4.10 Determine Site Equipment Location and Requirements
Site equipment can be installed in a free-standing rack or wall-mounted cabinet. Triton Network
Systems recommends a lockable cabinet for maximum physical security. A site equipment
cabinet typically contains the power source for an IFU and is the primary cable termination point
for the power, GPI, and fiber optic cables that are connected to an IFU.
It is possible to mount the site equipment indoors or outdoors. It is preferable to mount the site
equipment in a room (such as an electrical room or a telecommunications closet) close to the IFU
location.
When determining the location for a site equipment cabinet or rack, observe the following:
•
Identify the riser and the horizontal cable runs from the entry point to the site equipment
room.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to allow a technician to access the site equipment.
•
Ensure that the site equipment location meets the minimum environmental specifications for
all equipment to be located in the site equipment cabinet or rack.
1.4.11 Determine the Length of Fiber Cable Assemblies
The primary consideration for selecting an outdoor cabling option is the distance and route
between an IFU and the site equipment.
A single Triton Network Systems outdoor fiber cable assembly can connect an IFU directly to
the site equipment when the cable run required for this connection (see Figure 1-1). If the cabling
distance between the IFUs and the customer premise equipment (CPE) exceeds the maximum
length of the longest available Triton Network Systems outdoor fiber cable assembly, the
customer has the following options:
NOTE: Contact your Triton Network Systems sales representative for available lengths of
prefabricated outdoor fiber cable assemblies.
•
Order outdoor fiber cable assemblies from Triton Network Systems and acquire the
following additional items (see Figure 1-2):
ß
ß
A demarcation box, which provides a connection point for two IFUs installed on the
same rooftop.
An indoor fiber cable of sufficient length to connect the demarcation box to the site
equipment.
NOTE: For sites without a demarcation box, back-to-back connections between IFUs on the
same rooftop are made through a fiber patch panel located with the site equipment. Otherwise,
the demarcation box provides the back-to-back IFU connection.

1-7
Installation and Commissioning Guide - R2.0
•
Use a custom fiber outdoor cable assembly of sufficient length to directly connect the IFU to
the site equipment interface. It is the customer’s responsibility to determine the required
length for custom cables and to acquire custom cables from a third-party provider. Triton
Network Systems Customer Service will assist in determining proper specifications for
cables if so requested by the customer.
NOTE: The maximum fiber cable length should not exceed 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) for any
single cable, or a total length of 6,600 feet (2,000 meters) for any two fiber cable assemblies
that connect two IFUs installed at the same site. This limitation is governed by the 10BaseFL
specification, which defines a maximum segment length of 1,000 meters.

Guidelines for Connecting Outdoor Fiber Cable Assemblies
Providers can either directly connect outdoor cables to the site equipment or interface to the site
equipment through an intermediary connection point such as a demarcation box. The following
subparagraphs provide guidelines for choosing the appropriate option.
Direct Fiber Connection (Options 1 and 2)
Use a single outdoor fiber cable assembly when the cable run between the IFU and the site
equipment interface (switch, ADM, or fiber patch panel) is less than the maximum length of the
longest available Triton Network Systems outdoor fiber cable assembly. The two single fiber
connection options are as follows:
•
Riser-rated cable (Option 1). This option uses a single riser-rated plenum fiber cable to
connect directly to the site equipment interface without the use of conduit or a demarcation
box. Use Option 1 when the site engineering plan specifies that the IFU fiber cable will be
installed within building riser assemblies (see Figure 1-1 A).
© 2001 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
1-9
Installation and Commissioning Guide - R2.0
•
UV-rated plenum cable (Option 2). This option uses a single UV-rated plenum fiber cable to
connect directly to the site equipment interface without the use of conduit or a demarcation
box. Use Option 2 when the site engineering plan specifies that the IFU fiber cable will be
installed within building heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts
(see Figure 1-1 B).
NOTE: Only plenum-rated cables should be installed within building HVAC ducts.
Plenum-rated cables are less likely to spread poisonous gas should a fire occur within the
ducting.
Demarcation Box Option (Option 3)
A demarcation box connects two outdoor IFU fiber cable assemblies with a single indoor fiber
cable that connects to the site equipment. This option can support lengthy cable runs. Jumper
cables at a fiber patch panel interconnect two IFUs on the same rooftop. Figure 1-2 shows this
connection option.
Implementation
Triton Network Systems recommends using a demarcation box only for those installations where
the distance between the IFU and the site equipment interface exceeds the maximum length of
the longest available Triton Network Systems outdoor fiber cable assembly. Otherwise, the direct
IFU-to-site equipment connection option is preferred, due to its lower implementation costs and
superior performance characteristics. Figure 1-3 provides a flowchart to assist in selecting the
appropriate fiber cabling option for any IFU installation site.

When Using Customer or Third Party Outdoor Power Cables
The maximum length of an IFU power cable, if using a single-pair 12-AWG cable from the
power plant to the IFU, may be determined by the following calculation and information in
Table 1-3 and Table 1-4.
NOTE: 1 ft = 0.305 m
The resistance in the power cable(s) from the power supply to the IFU should be no greater than
2.6 Ω (ohms). Assuming the use of an indoor and outdoor cable, the formula for the maximum
allowable length of the indoor cable is:
( 2.6 – R )
d = -------------------------- × ---------
t
2 × R′
Cu
where:
di is the distance of the indoor cable run, in feet
R· is the resistance per foot of the cable used, in ohms for each standard length (see Table 1-3)
© 2001 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
1-11
Installation and Commissioning Guide - R2.0
Ro is the resistance of the outdoor cable (see Table 1-4)
w is the number of pairs of wires in the indoor cable
tCu is the temperature coefficient of copper and is equal to 1.003930
In most cases, a 10, 12, or 14 gauge wire will be used in the indoor cable. Table 1-3 gives R·
values for these three wire sizes.

Triton Network Systems provides outdoor power cables in lengths of 20 meters (65.6 feet), 40
meters (131.2 feet), and 100 meters (328.1 feet); each of these cables uses two pairs of 12-AWG
wire. The resistance for each of these cables (Ro) are given in Table 1-4.

di = [(2.6-.15)/2(.001)] * (1/1.003930)
di = (2.45)/.002) * (1.0039-30)
di = 1090 feet
(di = 332 m)
1.4.13 Confirm Presence of AC Power
Ensure AC power will be available to provide power to the power supply and all other electrical
supplies. AC power is required within 15 feet (4.5 meters) of the site equipment location.
NOTE: A NEMA L5-15R, 15A twist-lock receptacle outlet is recommended.
1.4.14 Take Site Photographs
Take photographs of the following:
•

Chapter 2 describes the IFU configuration procedure to be
performed at the designated staging area. The staging area is a
central location – warehouse, office area, etc. – where the IFU
configuration attributes are loaded prior to building installation. If
circumstances prevent this from being possible, IFU configuration
can occur elsewhere. The instructions in this section assume that
IFU configuration is performed at a central location.
