mobile communication antenna.
Do not install the antenna under the microwave signal from microwave antenna,
the high voltage cable or under the intense radiation of television tower.For lightning protection purpose, install the antenna in the center of the rooftop.
Be sure not to install the antenna at the corner of the rooftop, because the corner
is most possibly subject to the lightning strike. Install the antenna in the place with special lightning rods or similar facilities
around such as telecommunication towers.
Locate the antenna within the effective protection range of the lightning rod. That
is, the included angle between the vertical direction and the straight line between
the GPS antenna and the top of lightning rod is less than 30. If there is no tower
or lightning rod around, it is necessary to install such a facility meeting the
lightning protection requirement.The horizontal distance from the lightning rod to the antenna is within 2~3m.
The height of the lightning rod is more than 0.5m higher than that of GPS
antenna receiving end.

4) Insert the antenna support pole into the base, and then check that it stands
upright. The included angle between the stand pole and the upright direction is
smaller than 5.
II. Installing the Antenna Support on a Parapet
The procedure of installing the antenna support on a parapet is as follows.
1) Remove the base of the support if there is any.
2) Stand the pole of the antenna support with the receiving end pointing upward.
Hold the pole upright against the parapet.
3) Mark the positions of the holes on the parapet.
4) Use at least two anchor ears to fix the pole to ensure stability and reliability. The
distance between the two anchor ears is less than 400 mm. The positions of the
upper and lower anchor ears are symmetrical on the parapet.
Note:
Add rubber washers when using the anchor ears to fix the antenna pole to improve reliability.
5) Use the 12 drill bit to drill holes on the marks.
After installation, try shaking and turning the pole to confirm the reliability of the

rules when binding jumpers:
Fasten the cable ties in the same direction of the cable with their spacing as 200
mm.
When cutting the extra end of a cable tie, leave a slack of 3~5 mm lest the cable
ties fall off due to temperature change.The cutting sections are flat.
5.5 Installing Feeders
5.5.1 Laying out Feeders
Before feeder layout, check the environment including the tower and the rooftop, and
determine the layout plan and layout procedure as per the engineer drawing.
Caution:
When the distance from the antenna to the NodeB is greater than 100 m, use the 7/8 feeder to reduce
the signal loss. Otherwise, use the 1/2 feeders.
Observe the following requirements when laying out the feeders:

The feeder route from the tower to the equipment room where the cabinet is
located is clear and easy for fixing the feeders.
Route the feeder according to the cabling requirements of the equipment room,
with reliable rainproof and anticorrosive measures.Make a downward waterproof curve for the feeder before leading it into the
equipment room. The vertical distance between the lowest point of the curve and
the feeder entrance is at least 200mm to prevent rain water.
During feeder layout, protect the unused feeder connectors with reliable material,
for example, board package.
To install the antenna on a building rooftop, fix the feeder with plastic clips
attached with steel nails along the foot of the wall on the rooftop. The spacing of
the clips is 1m. Alternate regularly the directions of the clip head. If two feeders
meet, bind them without intertwining and curves.
When routing the feeder, make sure to uncoil the cable coil first to preventbending the feeder. If you have to bend the feeder, the curve radius must be no
less than the minimum radius allowed.
5.5.2 Grounding Feeders
Ground the GPS feeders when routing them. The following describes feeder
grounding in different installation modes.
I. GPS Antenna Installed on a Tower
Observe the following requirements to ground the GPS feeders when the GPS
antenna is installed on a tower:
Install a grounding clip within 1m around the antenna lightning arrester, and
connect the grounding cable to the tower.
Ground the feeder at the bottom of the tower 0.5~1m above the turn where the
feeder is routed from the cabling rack to the tower.
Install a grounding clip outside the feeder window (as close as possible).
Connect its grounding cable to the outdoor grounding bar of the equipment room.
If the feeder on the tower is longer than 60m, install lightning protection clips inthe middle part of the tower, with the clip spacing as 20 m.
II. GPS Antenna Installed on a Rooftop
Observe the following requirements to ground the GPS feeders when the GPS
antenna is installed on a rooftop:
To install the GPS antenna on the rooftop independently, install a grounding clip
before the feeder entrance to the feeder window (at the nearest point). Connect
the grounding cable to the outdoor PGND bar of the equipment room.

Lead the feeders into equipment room through feeder window. For details, refer to
4.12.2 Procedure to Lead Feeders into Equipment Room.
5.6 Installing Lightning Arrester
The lightning arrester protects the GPS satellite card in the cabinet.
Currently there are two types of lightning arresters: iS-MR50LNZ+6 and
DGXZ+6NFNM-A. The installation procedures for each type are described below.
Caution:
When the distance from the antenna to the NodeB is longer than 100 m, use the 7/8 feeders to reduce
the signal loss. In this case, connect one end of the lightning arrester to the GPS port on the cabinet top,
and the other end to the 7/8 feeder through a jumper.

GPS_0 or GPS_1 on the cabinet top.
Do not ground the lightning arrester.
5.7 Testing Feeders
After the installation of the antennas and feeders, do not connect them with the
equipment immediately. Check the resistance with a multimeter between the feeder
screen layer and the core. The resistance is several megohms at least. If there is
short circuit, check whether the feeder is damaged.
During the installation, any operation error may lead to short circuit or core breaking.
Use the following methods to check whether the core is broken.
Remove the antenna, and then short-circuit screen layer and the core at one end of
the antenna. Check the resistance at the other end between the screen layer and the
core. If the resistance is infinite, the feeder core is broken.
