AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 12 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 4 Verify Prerequisites 4.1 Verify Site Requirements To set up the AirSynergy for connection to Netspan, a PC will be required. 4.2 Verify Safety Requirements Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in this manual. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance. Ascertain the radiation hazards when working in an environment close to other antennas and Electromagnetic fields, e.g. working on towers with other microwave transmitters etc. and act accordingly. 4.2.1 Warn of Hazardous Voltages On AC installations, hazardous voltages exist. Use caution when verifying or working with AC power. Remove metal jewellery that could come into contact with AC power. On DC sections, short circuiting the low voltage, low impedance circuits can cause arcing that may result in burns or eye damage. Remove rings, watches etc. to avoid shorting DC circuits. Note: Airspan products do not contain hazardous substances (as defined in UK Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1989 and the Dangerous Substances Regulations 1990). At the end of any Airspan products life cycle, the customer should consult with Airspan to ensure that the product is disposed of in conformance with the relevant regulatory requirements. Caution: Any modifications to this device not expressly authorised by the manufacturer could void the users’ authority to operate this device. 4.2.2 Adhere to European Directive 1999/519/EC European Directive 1999/519/EC details basic restrictions and reference levels on human exposure to electromagnetic fields as advised by the ICNIRP. The directive states that adherence to these recommended restrictions and reference levels should provide a high level of protection as regards the established health effects that may result from exposure to such fields.

AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 18 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 6 Fit Front sector antenna to AirSynergy The AirSynergy unit can be used either with a sector antenna mounted directly on the front or with a remotely attached RF antenna. 6.1 Mount Front antenna to the AirSynergy unit To mount the front antenna , perform the following steps: Add text here to describe the mounting of the antenna to the front mount plate, securing of the antenna cables with cable ties and the fitting of the antenna plus front mount plate to the front of the AirSynergy unit. Figure 8 – AirSynergy front mount antenna and front mount plate Figure 9 – Connecting the antenna RF cables Caution: Do not over-tighten the RF connector. RF failures can result when the RF connector is over-tightened. Weather-proofing of the RF N type connectors with weather-proofing tapes. (self amalgamating followed by a layer of balck PVC tape.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 19 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 Figure 10 – AirSynergy Front mount antenna connections – applying self amalgamating tape Apply a layer of self amalgamating tape and a layer of electrical tape to the weather-exposed RF connector. Figure 12 – AirSynergy antenna connections – applying PVC tape Ensure the RF connector is completely sealed from the weather. Figure 13 – AirSynergy antenna with sealed RF connections Note: It is recommended to place some cardboard or paper under the unit to protect it from scratching.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 20 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 6.2 Secure AirSynergy and Antenna to pole mount plate To mount the AirSynergy to the universal mounting plate, perform the following steps: 1. Hook the studs into the top slots of the mounting plate. With the studs engaged in the top slots raise the unit slightly until the bottom studs also drop into their respective slots. Secure the flange nuts (4 positions). Figure 11 – Lift AirSynergy to top of pole-mount plate Figure 5 – AirSynergy drops down into slots at the top of pole-mount plate
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 21 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 Figure 16 – Gently lift the AirSynergy body until the bottom studs engage in the bottom slots Figure 17 – AirSynergy body engaged in the bottom slots 2. The slot arrangement at the top allow the AirSynergy and front mounted antenna to be down-tilted by a few degrees to provide real downtilt or to compensate for the taper angle on the pole. With the flange nuts gently hand tightened the position can be accurately set with tilt-meter on the front face of the AirSynergy unit. Figure 12 – AirSynergy downtilt adjustment
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 22 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 3. The downtilt angles are not marked by the adjustment slots so a tiltmeter is required to set a specific angle and then tighten the flange nuts ith a 10mm wrench on each stud (4 positions) Figure 13 – Tighten flange nuts (4 poitions) once the required mounting angle is set 4. There is an option to connect an earthing cable to the M6 screw fixing point at the bottom of the main body casting. This should be connected to a protection ground bar or directly to the steel structure of the power or pole. This is only required in areas of high lightning activity or when the AirSynergy unit is mounted on high exposed roofs or tower structures 5. Connect the earth cable to the protection earth bar using suitable crimp lugs. Alternatively use a TK series clamp to join the earth cable to the steel structure of the mounting pole or tower structure. Figure 14 – AirSynergy attach earth cable to pole
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 23 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 . 6.3 Install GPS Antenna 6.4 Install GPS antenna for AirSynergy Note: AirSynergy units without a factory fitted Switching antenna all require a GPS antenna which comes in a kit with a mounting bracket and a 25cm cable. A prime consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably 360 degrees Install the GPS antenna bracket to the AirSynergy unit using the M6 threaded hole near the top of the main using the fixing. The GPS Antenna is secured to the GPS mounting bracket with large nuts supplied. The short RJ58 RF cable (TNC to TNC connections 25cm long) is fitted to the bottom of the GPS antenna and across to the TNC connection point on the top connection plate of the main unit 6.4.1 Mount the GPS Antenna The GPS antenna bracket can be optionally mounted on a Pole up to 40mm (1.5"). The Antenna screws on to the 25m threaded tube. To mount the GPS antenna, perform the following steps: 1. The RJ58 antenna cable is provided with a TNC connector attached at each end. Run the cable from the AirSynergy GPS receiver connection point to the location of the GPS antenna. 2. Thread the TNC connector cable through the threaded tube on the bracket and attach the TNC connector to the Antenna. 3. Connect the tube to the antenna by holding the antenna firm and rotating the bracket around the cable until the thread is fully engaged in the threaded part of the antenna. 4. Connect the bracket to the pole using the two U bolts and tightening with a 10mm spanner. 6.5 Connect PoE cable to the AirSynergy Pull back the hinged protective dust cover and insert the PoE connector so that the RJ45 connector engages and the Amphenol hood locks into place with the hinged dust cover. 1. Cable and connect: o PoE (Power over Ethernet) o Protection Ground (An optional grounding cable should be used to connect the AirSynergy metal casting to a suitable grounding point on the tower.)
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Page 24 Commercial in Confidence SYN-UG-007 Rev 1 7 Connect to Power System Caution: Hazardous voltage! Before working, ensure that the power is removed from the power connection cables. When the system is powered on, do not touch the power terminals. 7.1 Connect PSU Output to PoE injector 7.2 Run cables from the PoE injector to the AirSynergy a) Use this procedure to terminate the -54V DC supply into the PoE injector Figure 15 – AirSynergy power supply module and connection to the PoE injector
