RRU3268 Installation Guide

Requirements for the Installation Scenarios

Application scenarios:

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 Clearances for Three or More RRUs and 3.5.3 Installation Spacing Between RRUs.

l RRU mounting kits in assembled installation mode are not allowed in indoor scenarios.

NOTICE

If the RRU is improperly installed, heat dissipation of the RRU deteriorates and the RRU may not work properly, as shown in Figure 3-5.

3 Information About the Installation

Figure 3-5 Improperly installed RRUs

Method of installation:

l The installation supports' specifications described in this document are only based on the

exterior and dimensions of the mounting kits. Before installing equipment, assess the strength and reliability of the installation support to determine whether it can bear the weight of the equipment.

l To ensure the heat dissipation of the RRU and waterproofing of the ports at the bottom of

the RRU, the vertical deviation angle of an RRU must be less than or equal to 10 degrees, as shown in Figure 3-6.

l On a tower, an RRU can be installed on a pole, angle steel, or U-steel. The side-mounted

installation mode (one side instead of the rear of an RRU is mounted on the support) is recommended for RRUs on the main pole secured on a tower. This installation mode

Issue 10 (2015-12-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

RRU3268 Installation Guide

3 Information About the Installation

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.

3 Information About the Installation

NOTICE

l The diameter of a pole for installing an RRU ranges from 60 mm (2.36 in.) to 114 mm

(4.49 in.). The recommended diameter is 80 mm (3.15 in.).

l When the diameter of a pole ranges from 60 mm (2.36 in.) to 76 mm (2.99 in.), a

maximum of three RRUs can be installed on the pole and the side-mounted installation is recommended.

l Only a pole whose diameter ranges from 76 mm (2.99 in.) to 114 mm (4.49 in.)

supports more than three RRUs.

l The recommended thickness of the wall of a pole is 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) or above.

Installing an RRU on a Wall

3 Information About the Installation

The wall for installing RRUs must meet the following requirements:

l For each RRU, the wall must be able to bear a weight four times the RRU's weight and

the bolts' pulling force of 1.25 kN (281.25 lbf) vertical to the wall.

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.

NOTICE
