Before mounting the equipment in an outdoor environment, please make sure that:
|
In case of device with external antenna, mount and connect an external antenna to the device in accordance with the following recommendations:
Mount the antenna according to manufacturer’s instructions;
Connect the ODU V and H N-type interfaces to the antenna with RF coaxial cables and with appropriate connectors. Use cables not longer than 1 m (3.3ft). Tighten the N-type connectors to a torque setting of 1.7 Nm (1.3 lb ft);
Form drip loops near the cable ends at the ODU’s side so that water doesn’t creep towards the ODU connectors;
Weatherproof the N-type connectors (when antenna alignment is complete) using PVC tape and self-amalgamating rubber tape;
Weatherproof the antenna connectors in the same way (unless the antenna manufacturer specifies a different method);
Fix the antenna cables to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Ensure that no undue strain is placed on the ODU or antenna connectors. Ensure that the cables do not flap in the wind, as flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted vibrations in the supporting structure.
In order to prevent device damage make sure that antenna is connected to both N-type connectors with serviceable RF cables before switching on |
Connect the Cat5e FTP cable with a shielded connector covered by a cap to the "OUT" port of the power supply, having previously touched the power supply connector case with FTP cable connector case.
The power supply must not operate near a direct heat source, near water or in an environment with high humidity. The cables must be connected in such a way to prevent water flow to the power supply connectors. |
Connect the power cord to the power supply and then to the power circuit.
Use mains supply cords that adhere to safety regulations of the country where the equipment is getting deployed. |
Make sure a small loop (at least 10 cable diameters) is provided before the Cat5e FTP cable enter into the building.
This equipment is a source of electromagnetic energy and exposes public and personnel to RF electromagnetic emission. Guaranteed safe distance to human body during operation is 20cm (7.9in) and greater. |
Surface of device may become hot during operation, contact may cause burn. Allow to cool before handling. |
Please note that the pressure equalization system in Infinet devices is performed via gas exchange through a cable gland and Ethernet cable jacket with a dry room where the power supply is installed. In order to avoid ODU failure due to moisture entering the device, for example, during the pressure drop during the rain, the cable gland assembly requirements should be met and there are should be no cracks in the Ethernet cable jacket. In addition, you should avoid the Ethernet cable bending near the ODU and pinching with clamps, that can bring to the pressure equalization system fault between the internal volume of the sealed ODU and the external environment during a sudden air temperature change. This may lead to the leakage and device failures. |
