Note: The module is delivered with the upper bracket pre-installed.

Note: The strain relief is designed for optical cables with straight ingress protection (IP) boots (00). For a
complete list of Flexi optical cable lengths and types, see Optional Items Description.

There are three vertical spacing options allowed, shown in the Figure: Vertical spacing options for the RRH
Release 4:
 482.5 mm (19 in) - common with FMFA and all legacy RRH variants. Recommended for all new pole or
wall installations or co-siting with legacy modules using this dimension.
 532 mm (21 in) – recommended only for co-siting with legacy RRH variants using this dimension.
 392.5 mm (15 in) – modules with two antenna connectors only. Recommended for co-siting with legacy
RRH variants using this dimension. FPAC/D mounting on a RRH is not supported by this dimension.

Figure: Vertical spacing options for the RRH Release 4

Note: Avoid installing RRH modules inside enclosed spaces without proper ventilation or climate control,
as the modules are cooled by convection.

Note: If RET is used, consider the length of the RET and the antenna jumper cables and their physical
path to the antenna tilt meter when choosing an installation location on the pole. All cables connecting to
the interfaces above the RRH must be routed down below the RRH and then looped up to help prevent
water ingress. The loop must not exceed the minimum bending radius specified by the manufacturer.

NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Optical fibers are sensitive and therefore must be kept clear of
contaminants which lower the mechanical strength of the optical fiber, possibly dampening the
transmission of the light in the fibers. Clean all optical fiber connectors before installation using an optical
fiber connector cleaning kit.

NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Incorrect cables do not offer optimum protection against extreme
weather conditions. Only use tested IP65 class outdoor cables with seals provided by Nokia for outdoor
installations.

NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Overbending the optical fiber cables can damage the cables and
can detach or damage the connectors. Do not exceed the minimum bending radius of 70 mm (2.76
inches) for optical cables with a diameter 7 mm (0.28 inches) or 50 mm (1.97 inches) for optical cables
with a diameter 5 mm (0.20 inches).
 NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Remote Radio Head uses convection cooling. To avoid module
overheating, cables should be routed so they do not block airflow through the cooling fins. Never route
cables between cooling fins.

Release 4 RRH installation requires the following driver sizes. For a complete list of required tools, see BTS
installation tools and equipment.

Table: Installation
tools

Required tool

Torque wrench capable of 10-30 Nm (7.4 - 22.1 ft-lb) with extensions

Torque screw driver capable of 0.8-5 Nm (7-44 in-lbs.)

TORX screw driver sizes are T10 (DC cable clamp), T45 for M8 ground screw (not required for dual
M5/NEBS ground screws), and T25 (M5 screws)

Hexagonal socket size is 13 mm (1/2 in)

Allen driver size for FPKA/C is 8 mm (5/16 in)

Note: If you are expanding a FPKC beyond two

kits, then a 6 mm (1/4 in) Allen screw driver is
required.

For front panel interfaces, see Flexi Multiradio BTS Radio Module and Remote Radio Head Description.
Procedure

1Install the lower fixing bracket on the RRH.

NOTICE: Before installing the 4 ANT/FRCC/FRCG module onto the RRH, preassemble the lower pole
bracket (FPKA or FPKC) with the lower fixing bracket, as shown in Figure: Assembling the lower pole
bracket with the lower fixing bracket for a FHFB. For the lower pole bracket installation instructions,
see: Mounting the plinth on a pole with FPKA or . Use a space of 482.5 mm or 532 mm vertically for the 4
ANT/FRCC/FRCG, as shown in Figure: Lower mounting bracket of RRH Release 4.Note that if you are
installing an 4 ANT/FRCC/FRCG onto an existing FPKA/FPKC, the lower mounting bracket should be
preinstalled on the lower FPKA/FPKC bracket.
Figure: Assembling the lower pole bracket with the lower fixing bracket for a FHFB

Sub-steps

a) Place the RRH so that the plastic cover faces down.

Figure: RRH with the plastic cover faced down

b) Attach the DC cable clamp on the lower fixing bracket. Tighten the screws half way to secure
them during lifting.

Figure: Attaching a DC clamp

c) Rotate the lower fixing bracket with the cable tie points facing down.

d) Align the key holes on the lower fixing bracket with the M8 TORX alignment screws on the RRH.

Figure: Aligning key holes on the lower fixing bracket

e) Slide the lower fixing bracket into place.

Figure: Sliding lower bracket into place

f) Apply two M8 hexagonal screws. Tighten to 20 Nm (14.8 ft-lb).

Figure: RRH with lower bracket in place

2Install the Flexi Pole Mounting Kit (FPKA or FPKC). See Mounting the plinth on a pole with
FPKA or Installing Flexi RRH 2TX on the pole with FPKC for instructions, substituting the RRH with the
plinth where applicable.

3Lift the RRH onto the pole as shown in the Figure: Lifting RRH onto a pole. Use the lifting point.
CAUTION! Risk of personal injury.
Take care when lifting the Remote Radio Head as it is very heavy.

NOTICE: Use a rope which is strong enough to support the module.

 Figure: Lifting RRH onto a pole

4Tighten the four M8 hexagonal screws to 20 Nm (14.8 ft-lb).

5Connect the grounding cable.

Note: FRCC and FRCG are 2ANT modules, but they have to follow the 4ANT mounting pattern. The
work order is the same. For details see Figure: Connecting all the cables for FRCC and FRCG.

Note: Install the grounding cable according to local standards. For example, use M8 bolts in Europe
and 2 x M5 bolts in USA. Tighten M8 bolts to 20 Nm (14.75 ft-lb) and M5 bolts to 4.2 Nm (37 in-lb).

Figure: Connecting grounding cable (4 ANT)

6Connect the antenna cables. Tighten the connectors according to the antenna cable manufacturer
instructions.

Figure: Connecting antenna cables (4 ANT)

7Connect the DC cable.

These sub-steps concern connecting the DC cable for Release 4 modules excluding FRNC. For FRNC DC
cable instructions, see Figure: Connecting FRNC DC cable.

1. Strip about 10 cm (4 in) of the DC cable and wrap some tape around the GND mesh and the cable
sheath neck.
 Figure: Wrapping tape around DC cable

2.
3. Wrap extra tape around the exposed wires to prevent to IP from breaking.

Figure: Wrapping extra tape around DC cable

4.
5. Insert the taped end of the DC feeder cable into the IP boot and feed it through.

Figure: Inserting DC power cable into an IP boot

6.
7. When using a thick cable, the narrow end of the IP boot can be removed using scissors. Use a single
cut to ensure a clean cut surface. For details, see: Figure: Removing narrow end of an IP boot. The
cable diameter cannot be wider than 25 mm (1 in) or be narrower than 6 mm (0.24 in).

NOTICE: The IP boot edge must be smooth. Ensure there are no cracks present in the edge, as it
compromises IP boot protection.

Figure: Removing narrow end of an IP boot

8.
9. Remove the extra tape from DC cable.

Note: Keep the tape around the GND mesh and cable sheath neck to protect IP boot from sharp
edges.

Figure: Properly secured shielded DC cable (left) and non-shielded DC cable (right)
10.
11. Connect the wires to the screw terminal and tighten to 3.0 Nm (26.55 in-lb).

Figure: Connecting DC feeder cable wires

12.
13. Fix the IP boot in place and tighten the screw to max 2.0 Nm (17.07 in-lb).

Note: On sites where birds or rodents are a concern, it is recommended that exposed cables and DC
terminal seals be protected with conduit. Use any suitable standard conduit for that purpose. Make sure
that the conduit is securely locked in position as close to the IP seals as possible.

Figure: Example of conduit usage

 14. Secure the cable in place with the cable clamp and tighten it to 0.5 Nm (4.43 ft-lb).
