AirSpeed 1200 eNB Installation Guide DUG01285 Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 6 Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Do not modify any part of this device, as this will void the warranty. Disconnect the power to this product and return it for service if the following conditions apply: a. The terminal does not function after following the operating instructions outlined in this manual. b. The product has been dropped or the housing is damaged. Locate the serial number of the terminal and record this on your registration card for future reference. Also record the MAC address, located on the product sticker. UL Information - The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code requirements. - Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical. - AirSpeed 1200 is designed to operate in environmental conditions complying with IP66 and relevant standards. Lightning Protection WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed. All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury. The antennas are to be DC grounded, so surge protection is not required. Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as: - Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment. - Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from lightning induced currents. A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction. A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from the building and equipment. To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended for the wireless system: - Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the lightning/surge protectors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for terminating the ground wires. - The circuit ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the eNodeB.
AirSpeed 1200 eNB Installation Guide DUG01285 Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 7 Outdoor Ethernet Cabling - Ethernet cable connected to should be outdoor grade with UV protection. - Use shielded out CAT6 cabled terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors. - In order to protect the indoor unit, install surge protection circuits on all copper cables on their entrance to the building. - Surge protection circuit must use a minimum 14AWG grounding cable.

AirSpeed 1200 eNB Installation Guide DUG01285 Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 25 5 Connecting and Managing Power Cable 5.1 Power Cable Connection Danger: 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. 5.1.1 Power Cable Preparation Tip: It is good practice to label both ends of the cable to identify which AirSpeed 1200 unit it is connected to. Tip: It is good practice to leave a spare loop of cable (approximately 0.5m). This will allow for easier wiring and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future. Warning: Required: - Circuit breaker for AC power source -16A for EU installation and 20A for US installation. Minimum – 10A. The power cable is connected to the AirSpeed 1200 connector on the back panel of the unit. Figure 11: Cable Connector Exploded View Note: When securing the cable make sure there is no tension on the cable so that it is easy to disconnect and re-connect for future maintenance actions. 5.1.2 Wire Connection for the Power Cable Connector 1. Unscrew the connector lower section of the connector which is attached to the cable on the AirSpeed 1200 unit. 2. Feed the unterminated end of the power cable to the location of the AC Power Connector suspended from the AirSpeed unit. 3. Strip back and remove the outer sheath to expose the inner blue / white and black insulated wires to a length of 3cm (1.18 in). Then strip back 6mm (0.24 in) of the inner core insulation. 4. Thread the prepared cable end through the gland, washer, sealing ring and body of the connector.
