3.4 Installation Scenarios

An RRU can be installed on a pole, U-steel, angle steel, or IFS06. Installation scenarios must meet heat-dissipation and waterproofing requirements of the RRU.

Requirements for the Installation Scenarios

Application scenarios:

signals because the optical module is faulty or the fiber optic cable is broken.

The CPRI link is out of lock because of a failure in clock lock between two modes or mismatched data rates over CPRI ports.

optical module is powered off.

To ensure proper heat dissipation of the RRU, the following requirements must be met:

l The RRU cannot be installed in an enclosed cabinet without a cooling system.

l The RRU cannot be installed in an enclosed camouflage box.

l The RRU cannot be installed in an enclosed equipment room without a cooling system.

l When multiple RRUs are installed in centralized mode, the minimum clearance

requirements must be met. For details about the minimum clearance requirements, see 3.5.2

Clearance for Multiple RRUs and 3.5.3 Installation Spacing Between RRUs.

CAUTION

In improper installation scenarios, the heat dissipation efficiency decreases and therefore the RRU may not work properly. Figure 3-6 shows an improper installation scenario.

Issue () Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

RRU3260 Installation Guide 3 Information About the Installation

Figure 3-6 Improper installation scenario

Method of installation:

l To ensure proper heat dissipation and waterproofing of the RRU, the RRU must be installed

with the ports at the bottom and the vertical deviation angle of the RRU must be less than or equal to 10 degrees, as shown in Figure 3-7.

l The side-mounted mode is recommended for RRUs on the main pole secured on a tower.

This installation mode allows multiple RRUs to be installed next to each other at the same level on a pole. When the horizontal distance between the main and auxiliary poles on a tower is equal to or greater than 810 mm (23.62 in.), the side-mounted mode is recommended for installing RRUs on the auxiliary pole to meet the minimum clearance requirements. Otherwise, the standard mode is recommended for installing RRUs on the auxiliary pole.

Installing an RRU on a Wall

The wall for installing RRUs must meet the following requirements:

l When a single RRU is installed, the wall has a capacity of bearing at least four times the

weight of the RRU.

l Expansion anchor bolts must be tightened to 30 N·m (265.52 lbf·in.) so that the bolts stay

secured without damaging the wall.

CAUTION

l It is recommended that the RRU be installed on a wall in standard mode.

l When multiple RRUs are installed on an outdoor wall in side-mounted mode, it is

recommended that the mounting brackets not be combined, as shown in Figure 3-22. When multiple RRUs are installed on an indoor wall in side-mounted mode, the mounting brackets cannot be combined, as shown in Figure 3-23.

l The upper and lower adjustable beams on an IFS06 can be moved up and down to fit for

heights of RRUs.

l The IFS06 supports at least three RRUs when the ambient temperature is higher than or

equal to the lowest operating temperature of the RRU and at least 5°C (41°F) lower than the highest operating temperature of the RRU. The IFS06 supports a maximum of six RRUs when the ambient temperature is higher than or equal to the lowest operating temperature
