Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the wall

Mounting the plinth on a wall
Purpose A plinth is required for mounting the modules on a wall. Before you start Check that the plinth adapter mechanics are installed as instructed in the Fixing adapter mechanics to plinth section. If installing additional plinths one upon the other, the distance between the upper mounting screw holes in first and second plinth must be 550 mm (21.7 in.) minimum. Summary

Steps
1. Mark the mounting screw locations on the wall and drill the holes for the screws. Fix the upper mounting screws to the wall, lift the plinth on the wall and fit it to the mounting screws. Check that the plinth is level. 3. 4. 5. 6. Tighten the upper mounting screws. Insert the lower mounting screws. Tighten the lower mounting screws. Make sure that the plinth is not twisted. When the plinth is in a correct position, tighten the three screws in the lower bracket of the adapter mechanics. 7. In case you are installing more than one plinth, repeat steps 1-6 for each plinth. Note that the required space between the plinths is 100 mm.

Mounting modules on a wall

Purpose The stand-alone BTS can be installed on a wall. The maximum number of modules per plinth is two.

Note
To meet the earthquake requirement Telcordia GR-63-CORE and the vibrational requirements for Earthquake Zone 4, the four module fixing screws between the module core and the module casing must be tightened to 5 Nm.

Before you start Check that:

.

the plinth is installed as instructed. See Mounting the plinth on a wall for plinth installation instructions. the plinth is grounded. there is one plinth per two modules.

If you are going to install Flexi Power Module (FPMA), it should be installed on the same plinth as the System Module. For more information on FPMA installation, see Installing Flexi Power Module (FPMA). The recommended module installation order is illustrated in the following figure.

Summary

Caution
Excess torsion damages the casings. In wall and pole installation, do not install more than two modules per plinth.

Caution
Incorrect installation may lead to damage to the modules. The modules must be installed with the front panels facing left or right. Do not install the modules with the front panels facing up or down.

Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the wall

Steps
1. Align the holes on the first module's bottom with the fixing studs on the plinth.

Tip
Line up the locating marks on the side of the module to help aligning the holes with fixing studs.

2. 3.

Push the module back until it stops. Attach the module casing to the plinth with two screws. Secure with thread locking compound.

4.

Connect the module grounding cable between the module front panel and the plinth. See Grounding principle of the stand-alone BTS for more information.

5.

Align the holes on the second module's bottom with the fixing studs on the first module. Push the module back until it stops. Attach the module casings to each other with two screws. Secure with thread locking compound.

6. 7.

8.

Connect the module grounding cable between the module front panel and the plinth. Attach the fixing plates across the module casings on both sides of the modules and fix with six screws and spring washers. Secure with thread locking compound.

Repeat the steps above to install the remaining modules to a separate plinth or plinths. One plinth can have two modules installed. A configuration of one System Module and three RF Modules therefore requires two plinths.

Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the wall

Expected outcome The following figure illustrates one example of the basic configuration of one System Module and three RF Modules installed on the wall. The installation in the figure is a right-hand installation, but the BTS can also be installed as a left-hand installation.

Tip
Right-hand installation is recommended.
