1.2.3 Installation Clearance and Space Requirements

This section describes the recommended and minimum clearances for a eAN3810A.

Clearance for a eAN3810A

When the eAN3810A is installed on a wall or pole, the minimum clearance is required for easy cabling and operation and maintenance (O&M). Based on the engineering practice, the recommendation for the installation clearance is provided.



The recommended clearances are for customers, ensuring normal running and providing appropriate space for O&M. If installation space is sufficient, leave the recommended clearances after installing equipment.



The minimum clearance ensures normal operation and heat dissipation, but O&M activities such as checking indicator status and opening the cover plate of a cabling cavity cannot be properly conducted. If installation space is restricted, leave the minimum clearance after installing equipment.

Figure 1-4 show the clearances for installing a eAN3810A.

measure the distances between holes. If any of the holes is beyond the acceptable range, mark a new anchor point and drill a new hole.

3. Tighten the expansion bolts slightly, and place each expansion bolt vertically into each

hole.

4. Use a rubber mallet to pound each expansion bolt until the corresponding expansion tube

completely enters the hole. Leave 20 mm (0.79 in.) of the expansion bolt outside the wall.

5. Remove the M6x60 bolt, nut, spring washer, and flat washer in sequence.

Step 3 Place the mounting kit onto the wall, insert four M6x60 bolts into the tapped holes on the

1. Use a hammer drill with a Ф8 drill bit to drill holes perpendicularly with the wall at the

marked anchor points. Ensure that the depth of each hole ranges from 45 mm to 50 mm (1.77 in. to 1.97 in.) and each hole is of the same depth.

To prevent inhalation or eye contact with dust, take adequate preventive measures when drilling holes.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clear dust inside and around the holes, and then measure the

inter-hole spacing. If the spacing is too wide or too narrow, drill holes again.

3. Tighten each expansion bolt slightly and place them perpendicularly into each hole.

4. Hit each expansion bolt using a rubber mallet to enable the expansion tube to enter the

hole completely.

5. Remove the M6x60 bolt, nut, spring washer, and flat washer from each expansion bolt

assembly in sequence.

Step 3 Use an M4 inner hexagon screwdriver to remove the Dock integrated mounting bracket,

install the Dock separated mounting bracket instead, and tighten the four screws to 2 N·m (17.70 lbf·in.), as shown in Figure 1-24.



Cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of cables must not be damaged.



Cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be in a straight line.



The excess of indoor cable ties must be cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of outdoor cable ties should be reserved, and the cut surfaces must be smooth without sharp edges.



After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends, curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements



When laying out cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary, use tubes to protect the cables.



When laying out cables, keep cables away from heat sources, or use heat insulation materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.



Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m [3.937 in.] is recommended) between equipment and cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements



Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.



Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum bending radiuses of the cables.



When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.



Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements



Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, thread the cables through tubes.



Cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid out underground.



Use cable clips to secure cables outdoors.



Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use cable clips to secure the cables.



Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m (4.92 ft) to 2 m (6.56 ft), and CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m (3.28 ft) to 1.5 m (4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.



When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.



When using clips to secure cables, tighten the screws on the clips after all cables are arranged and laid out.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling of PGND cables



PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same ground bar.



PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors.



The external conductor of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded cable must have proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment which they are connected to.



PGND cables and signal cables must be installed separately. A certain distance must be reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.



Switches or fuses must not be installed on the PGND cables.



Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.



All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the ground terminal.
