l
The antenna should be located in an area that is inaccessible to the public where the RF radiation exceeds the stipulated value.
Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd 1-7
Issue 01 (2008-04-30)
l
If the areas where RF radiation exceeds the stipulated value are accessible to workers, ensure that workers know where these areas are. They can shut down the transmitters before entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but if they exist, the areas must be within a range of less than 10 m around the antennas. Each forbidden zone should be indicated by a physical barrier and striking sign to warn the public or workers.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with unaided eyes. Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters the eye, the retina may be damaged. Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end. Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l l l l
Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation. Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers. Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors. Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot ensure that the optical source is switched off. To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter. Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not exposed to laser radiation. Never use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to look into the optical fiber connector or end.
l l
Read the following instructions before handling optical fibers:

l l
Only the trained personnel can cut and splice optical fibers. Before cutting or splicing an optical fiber, ensure that the optical fiber is disconnected from the optical source. After disconnecting the optical fiber, use protecting caps to protect all the optical connectors.

7.1 Requirements for the Tower

This describes the requirements for the tower that must be prepared for telecommunication purpose when the NodeB in a network covers a wide area and the antenna is installed high. Figure 7-1 shows the tower for telecommunication purpose. Figure 7-1 Tower for telecommunication purpose
The requirements for the tower are as follows:

l l
The height of the tower depends on the field requirements of the NodeB. Typically, the tower has one to three platforms with round or hexagon structure. The minimum diameter of the circle is 4 m and the space between two platforms is 6 m. The guard rails on the platforms are 1 m high. The minimum bearing capacity of the platforms is 150 kg/m2. A ladder is installed on the tower for maintenance. The reinforcing angle steel is installed every 1 m on both sides of the ladder and the angle steel extends 0.5 m out of the ladder on either side.
7-2

l
A lightning rod is installed on the tower. The lightning rod is located 8 m above the upper platform to ensure that all the antennas are under the coverage of the lightning rod. In the strongest wind that occurs once every 30 years, the maximum axial wobble and torsion of the tower body is within 1. The tower is designed to resist one degree of seismic intensity over the limit stipulated in local regulations. When earthquake occurs, the tower can withstand the earthquake and devoid of any distortion that affects the quality of communication. A cable rack that can bear the weight of a person is installed on the tower. Surge protection and lightning induction devices are installed on the tower. Solar energy lamps are used for the tower.
l l l
Power cables with metal jackets are used for the aeronautical lights that use AC power. Ensure that the metal jackets are grounded at the top of the tower and at positions where the cables are led into the equipment room. Surge protection devices are installed on the control cables of the tower lamps and on the phase lines of the power cables at the positions where the cables are led into the equipment room. The neutral lines are directly grounded.
7.2 Installing the Antenna Support on the Tower

This describes how to install the antenna support on the tower. The antenna support can be categorized into multiple types. You need to select a suitable support according to the antenna type and installation scenario. The following description is based only on one type of antenna support.

When installing the antenna support on the tower, stick to the following principles:
l l
The installation plane of the antenna support must be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The pole for the lightning rod must be installed separately on the tower. Ensure that the lightning rod is placed high enough so that all the antennas are within the protection area of 45 degree below the lightning rod. The antenna support must be installed correctly to ensure the receiving and transmitting performance and direction adjustment of the directional antenna. The rotating lever must be reinforced by using a stiffener. Length of the expansion lever and the rotating lever depends on the field situation. Ensure that the cut on each lever is soldered with a cover plate for waterproofing. Ensure that each part is securely soldered and there is no dry or open weld. The galvanized steel is preferred for making the support and the support must be coated with antirust paint.

l
The connecting pieces for the stiffeners are fixed in proper positions that do not affect adjustment of the antenna direction or downtilt. The installation plane of the antenna support must be vertical to the horizontal plane. When the directional antenna is installed on the rooftop, a lightning rod must be installed on the antenna support, and the support must be connected with the surge protection grid of the building. When the omnidirectional antenna is installed on the rooftop, the lightning rod is not installed on the same support as the omnidirectional antenna. Another support is required to install the lightning rod. If the lightning rod is installed on the support of the omnidirectional antenna, note that the antenna must stretch out of the support for 1 m to 1.5 m. All the soldered points on the antenna support are coated with antirust paint. Ensure that each part is securely soldered and there is no dry or open weld.

Cabling Specifications for Power Cables and PGND Cables

l
The optical cables are routed in compliance with the engineering design and general cabling specifications. If the cable is not long enough, replace the cable. Do not add connectors or solder joints to lengthen the cable. The cables are insulated if they are bound to and routed on the metal cable rack. Fuses or switches are not allowed on the cables. The -48 V power cable and the GND cable are bound together. Both ends of the PGND cables are anti-corrosive and antirust. Connections of the PGND cables are secure. The low-voltage AC power cable for the NodeB is covered with a metallic conduit and buried in the ground for at least 50 m before they are led into the equipment room. Note that if such cables are shorter than 50 m, they must be completely buried in the ground. If such cables are routed overhead and led into the room, surge protection for the connectors of the AC power cables are affected. The PGND cables are buried in the ground or routed indoors. The PGND cables cannot be routed overhead before they are led into the equipment room.

Cabling Specifications for E1/T1 Cables

l
The optical cables are routed in compliance with the engineering design and general cabling specifications. The E1/T1 cables cannot be routed overhead outdoors. If the E1/T1 cables are routed outdoors, coat the E1/T1 cables with PVC jackets and route them underground based on the site conditions. If the E1/T1 cables routed outdoors are longer than 5 m, a surge protection box is required. The proper cable surpluses are reserved when the E1/T1 cables are curved. The idle wires of the E1/T1 cables are grounded properly in the equipment room.

Cabling Specifications for Optical Cables

l
The optical cables are routed in compliance with the engineering design and general cabling specifications. Reserve proper cable surpluses where the optical cables are curved. Do not stretch, step, or place heavy objects on the optical cables. Keep the cables away from sharp objects to avoid damage. The optical cable that is curved or pressed or the optical connector which is damaged cannot be used. Extra optical cables are coiled on the specific device such as the fiber coiler. Coil extra optical cables properly. Do not bend the cables forcibly to avoid damaging the cables. Use protection tubes to coat the bare fibers. The idle connectors of the optical cables are covered with dustproof caps. If one end of the optical cable is connected to an optical device, do not look directly at the end face of the optical connector. Otherwise, you may damage your eyes. Fill soft materials such as fireproof cottons in the optical cable inlets at the top of the cabinet to protect the optical cables.
