This is a draft.
1.2 Installation Preparations
This section describes the preparations for installation. Before starting the installation, you
must get the installation environment ready, obtain the required reference documents, tools,
and instruments, and familiarize yourself with the skills required.
1.2.1 Installation Environment
Before starting the installation, ensure that the power supply equipment, transmission
equipment, and related matching equipment are ready.
Precautions for Site Selection
lDo not install a RRU3931E near an interference source, such as a broadcast and
television tower, high and low-voltage substation, high-voltage tower, high-power radio
transmitter, and radar station.
lFor the sake of surge protection, the mounting height of a RRU3931E should not be
greater than 10 m. Do not install a RRU3931E along a highway or railway or on the
mountain top, tower, standalone pole in a suburban area or open field, or standalone
rooftop in a non-urban area.
Requirements for the Upper-level Circuit Breaker
Slow-blow fuses of the gL (DIN VDE)/gG (IEC) class in accordance with IEC60269-1 are
recommended. Fuses of the same specifications must be configured for L and N wires for the
sake of O&M security.
Type C bipolar circuit breakers in accordance with IEC60934 are recommended. Circuit
breakers must be configured for L and N wires for the sake of O&M security.
Table 1-1 describes the recommended specifications.

l Minimum value: Ensures that a RRU3931E can work normally under normal circumstances.
However, lightning strikes or abnormal voltage fluctuations may trip the circuit breaker or melt the
fuse.
l Recommended value: Ensures that a RRU3931E can work normally under normal circumstances
and that the circuit breaker does not trip in the event of lightning strikes or abnormal voltage
fluctuations.
l Maximum value: Indicates the maximum rated current allowed in the product design.
Requirements for Surge Protection and Grounding
Huawei by default uses a three-core power cable to connect a RRU3931E and external power
supply equipment. The power supply side must ensure that the PE wire of the three-core
power cable can be properly grounded. In outdoor installation scenarios or outdoor cabling
scenarios, PGND cables must be used to guarantee the surge protection and grounding for the
ground terminals of the mounting kits.

the Input Power Cable
Requirements for power supply
During installation, power off the RRU3931E.
1.2.2 Reference Documents
This section describes reference documents required for installation.
Before starting the installation, you must be familiar with the following reference documents:
lSafety Information
lRRU3931E Hardware Description
1.2.3 Tools and Instruments
Before starting the installation, prepare the following tools and instruments.
Marker (diameter ≤ 10 mm)
Hammer drill (Ø12 bore)Rubber mallet
Issue Draft A (2016-03-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
1.2.4 Skills and Requirements for Installation Personnel
Installation personnel must be qualified, trained, and familiar with correct operation methods
and safety precautions before performing any operations.
Before starting the installation, pay attention to the following items:
lThe customer's technical engineers must be trained by Huawei and be familiar with the
proper installation and engineering methods.
lThe number of required installation personnel depends on the engineering schedule and
installation environment. Generally, three to five installation personnel are necessary.

This section describes how to obtain the serial number (SN) of a RRU3931E. Before
installing the RRU3931E, record its SN for future use during commissioning.
Context
The SN uniquely identifies a device and is required during commissioning. The SN label of a
RRU3931E is attached to the surface of the RRU3931E.
Procedure
Step 1 Remove the backup SN label from the surface of the RRU3931E. See Figure 1-5
NOTE
Before removing the backup SN label, photograph it.

The process includes:
Issue Draft A (2016-03-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
This section describes the procedure and precautions for installing a RRU3931E on a pole.
Procedure
Step 1 Route two steel belts separately through the up and down mounting holes on the Mounting
bracket, but do not route the steel belts through the buckles. See Figure 1-9.
Figure 1-9 Routing steel belts
1 RRU3931E Installation Guide
(1) Visible window
NOTE
Before installing a steel belt, check the rotation axis from the visible window. If the rotation axis is not
connected to the end of the bolt, loose the bolt and adjust the rotation axis to the end of the bolt. The
position of the rotation axis is shown in Figure 1-11.
Step 2 Fit the Mounting bracket onto the target pole. See Figure 1-10.
Issue Draft A (2016-03-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Figure 1-10 Fitting the Mounting bracket onto the target pole
NOTE
Redundant steel belts must be bound.
1.Open the bolt on each steel belt according to the arrow direction on the mounting base,
and ensure that the rotation axis is connected to the end of the bolt, as shown in Figure
1-11.
Figure 1-11 Position of the rotation axis
2.Partially tighten each steel belt with the force not less than 50 N, bend it by 180°, and
press the steel belt at turns firmly. See Figure 1-12.
