2.1

Lightning Protection Guidelines

This paragraph provides information for the installation of an effective grounding and suppression system, for the protection of Alvarion products against lightning.

For a list of required accessories, see Table 3-4

.

NOTE

In case of contradiction between this paragraph and the standard requirements of the country in which the equipment is installed, the more stringent of the standards will always apply.

In case of contradiction between this paragraph and installation instructions provided elsewhere by

Alvarion, refer to the full version of the Lightning Protection document. The full version of the document can be downloaded from Alvarion's web site www.alvarion.com

. It is recommended to check for updates of this document from time to time.

This section deals primarily with the grounding of the equipment being installed.

It is not concerned with grounding against lightning or the grounding of buildings.

The main role of a Grounding System is to minimize lightning damage.

IMPORTANT

Alvarion does not provide any warranties as to the effectiveness of the suggested measures. The implementation of the suggested measures is at the customer's own discretion. Under no circumstances will Alvarion be liable for any consequences resulting from the implementation or lack of implementation of the suggested measures.

The Grounding System must be maintained and checked periodically in accordance with local regulations.

2.1.1

Lightning Protection Principles

Lightning protection for Alvarion Outdoor Units (ODU) installed outdoors on towers or poles, is provided by ensuring minimum pickup of lightning induced transients, and by the suppression of transient voltages at the input and output terminals of both the Indoor and Outdoor units.

Minimizing the pickup of induced voltages is accomplished by isolating the

Outdoor Units and cables from the lightning down current, and through the use of shielded cables with peripheral shield grounding.

The outdoor unit and Antenna are connected mechanically to the pole, which is in turn grounded in accordance with the requirements of most safety standards, therefore the Outdoor Units are grounded as well.

Before unpacking, you will need to select a suitable installation site. Choose a site that supports the physical characteristics of the unit and is in accordance with the unit's environmental and power requirements.

CAUTION

ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas.

Failure to do so may void the BreezeMAX product warranty and may expose the end user or

Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.

Chapter 3 - Planning the Installation Site

3.1

Guidelines for Positioning the ODU and

Antenna

This section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal installation locations for the ODU.

CAUTION

ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas.

Failure to do so may void the BreezeMAX product warranty and may expose the end user or

Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.

Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:

„

The ODU should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its connectors for installation and testing.

„

The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality.

„

The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the Base Station antenna. The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the Base Station.

„

In some cases it might be necessary to up/down-tilt the antenna. An optional

Tilt accessory for the ODU providing a tilt range of +/-15 is available from

Alvarion. The tilt option might be necessary to either improve the link conditions or, if the SU is too close to the Base Station, to reduce the receive signals strength. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the Base Station, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15° (especially in line-of-sight conditions) to avoid saturation of the receivers by too strong signals.

„

Outdoor units with a connection to an external antenna should be installed as close as possible to the antenna.

Sealing the Outdoor Connectors

Sealing the Outdoor Connectors

To seal the connectors:

Use isolation material (such as tar bands) to cover all outdoor connectors to prevent water penetration into the cables.

We recommend using 3M's cold shrink tube 8426-9 as a solution for sealing. This solution requires no training or special tools. If you are using the 8426-9 cold shrink, leave a 10 cm space (see

Figure 6-9 ) to keep the cable flexible.

Figure 6-9: Sealing ODU Connectors

NOTE

„

The N-Type connector of the ODU must be closed without using any tool, only by hand.

„

The outdoor connectors should be tightened using sleeves.

„

When routing the coaxial cable, leave a service loop at the antenna so there will sufficient length of coaxial cable to replace a faulty connector, when necessary.

„

Secure the coaxial cable so that there is no mechanical stress at the antenna connection.

Follow the superstructure with the coaxial cable to its base to the building.

„

If the coaxial cable requires suspension from the ODU to the building, use a stranded wire to support the coaxial cable weight. (The support will prevent a migration of the coaxial cable's inner conductor to the shield).

BreezeMAX PRO CPE Installation & Maintenance Manual 51

Chapter 6 - Connecting the Cables

Using SAU for Antenna Alignment

Using SAU for Antenna Alignment

The LINK QUALITY bar display on the SAU comprises 10 LEDs:

„

LED 1 (WLNK) indicates that the wireless link is active, and is lit when the SU has completed the Network Entry process.

„

LEDs 2 to 9 (green) indicate the quality of the received signal. The higher the number of LEDs illuminating, the better the quality of the received signal.

„

If all LEDs, including LED 10 (red) are on, the received signal strength is too high. This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the Base

Station, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10º to 15º.

To align the antenna:

1

Point the antenna toward the general direction of the Base Station.

2

Connect the SAU to the ODU.

3

Verify that the PWR (power) indication on the SAU is on.

4

Verify that the WLNK (LED 1) indicator is on, indicating that the unit is synchronized with the Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with the

Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with the Base Station, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.

5

Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality reading is achieved. If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.

.

NOTE

Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the

Base Station.

6

Secure the ODU/antenna firmly to the pole.

3

From the Pocket PC/Notebook, connect to the SU and complete the process of configuring basic parameters.

4

Verify that the the unit is synchronized with a Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with a Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a Base Station, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location.

5

Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality (SNR and RSSI) reading is achieved. If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.

NOTE

Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the

Base Station.

6

Secure the ODU/antenna firmly to the pole.

CAUTION

In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU receives transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. When the RSSI reading is higher than

20 dBm, the received signal level is too high (saturation). This must be avoided, preferably by up tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the AU, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10

º

to 15

º
