Safety Precautions

Thunderstorms

Do not work with electrical current or work in elevated or exposed locations during a thunderstorm.

Extreme weather conditions

RTN 360 is usually installed outdoors. If weather conditions are extreme during an installation,
personnel should follow the related local guidelines and regulations to safeguard personal health
and safety.

Elevated locations

RTN 360 is usually installed in an elevated location, for example, on the rooftop of a building. For installation
in elevated locations, installation personnel must:

• Have the proper training and qualifications, and meet health requirements.

• Wear helmets, safety belts, and anti-slip footwear.

• Wear clothing and gloves appropriate to weather conditions.

• Work in teams of two or more.

• Test hoisting tools before use.

• Avoid installation during extreme weather conditions, such as during thunderstorms, blizzards, or gales.

Corrosion

Anti-corrosion measures are required if an RTN 360 is installed in a location that is prone to corrosion. Contact the
local Huawei office for details. A location is prone to corrosion if it is:

•Within 3.7 km of an ocean or a salt water lake

• Within 3 km of a heavy pollution source, such as a smelting factory or coal mine

• Within 2 km of a medium pollution source, such as a chemical, rubber, or electroplating plant

• Within 1 km of a light pollution source, such as a food/leather processing plant or heating boiler

PG covers

Port protection

• Fasten PG covers onto the network ports of an RTN
360, and protect unused ports with caps.

• Retain removed caps for future use.

Caps

In addition, all site visitors must wear helmets.

Microwave

High-power radio frequency signals are harmful. Avoid exposure to transmission from the antennas of
microwave equipment that has the radiation warning symbol ( ). When you are installing or
performing maintenance on an antenna located on a tower that has multiple antennas, avoid exposure
to radiation from other antennas.

High temperature

If the ambient temperature reaches 55°C, the surface temperature of an RTN 360 may exceed 70°C.
Therefore, wear protective gloves when handling the RTN 360. A high-temperature warning label
( ) is attached to each RTN 360.

Handling of RTN 360 or mounting kits

Wear clean gloves when handling the RTN 360 or mounting kits.

Unpacking

• After unpacking an RTN 360, power it on within 24 hours.

• Do not power off an RTN 360 for more than 24 hours during maintenance.

Minimal installation space

The following figure illustrates the minimal installation space required for an RTN 360.

≥ 300 mm

≥ 500 mm

Ensure that the signal
transmission path leading
from the front of an RTN 360
to its peer is unobstructed.

Terminating an Outdoor Network Cable with Shielded RJ45 Connectors

Prepare the following tools.

RJ45 connector crimping tool

Diagonal pliers

Insert the arranged core wires into an RJ45 connector according to the pin
assignments and crimp the connector with the crimping tool.

Prepare an outdoor network cable
and shielded RJ45 connectors.

1. Core wire

2. Aluminum foil

3. Braid shield

4. Outer jacket

5. Shielded RJ45 connector

Strip the cable.

Length of the stripped
cable: 20 mm

When stripping off the outer jacket, take care not to damage the braid shield
or aluminum foil.

Cut off the exposed braid shield and materials
along the edge of the connector.

Remove the outer jacket.

Arrange the core wires according to the pin assignments and cut them
neatly (exposing a length of 12 mm).

Strip off the braid shield and cut
the aluminum foil and unwanted
materials.

Cut the core wires neatly.

Terminate a connector on the other end of the network cable, and then test the cable
for continuity using a network cable tester.
The pin assignments of the connectors at the two ends must be the same. Outdoor
network cables are straight-through cables.

Pin assignments of an RJ45 connector

Before crimping, ensure that the core wires are fully inserted in the RJ45
connector.

Terminating a Ground Cable with an OT Terminal

Strip the ground cable.

A: OT terminal
B: ground cable
C: exposed cable conductor
L1: length of the exposed cable

When you are skillful, you can determine L1
based on the length of the OT terminal lug.

When striping off the insulation layer of the
ground cable, take care not to damage or nick
the metal conductor of the cable.

Cut off the exposed braid
shield and materials.

Outdoor network
cable

Generally, straight-through cables are used with the RTN 360.
Crossover cables are required only when the BTS3902E and BTS3202E
supplies power over Ethernet to the RTN 360. In this case, the pin
assignments of the connector at the other end are as follows:

Fit the exposed cable into the OT terminal.

Ensure that the cable conductor does not
protrude more than 2 mm from the OT terminal.
