Installation Manual for Kyocera iBurst System (BS1905A-US-A) (Q05T-AI-BB001E)
1.1 Purpose and policy
This document is intended to specify a fundamental design criterion for the installation of
iBurst base station, thus ensuring smooth work and providing the customer with appropriate
services and establishing easy-to-maintain system.
1.2 Laws
In executing the work, necessary related laws (Telecommunications Business Law, Wired
Telecommunications Law, Radio Law, Building Standard Law, Electric Work Specialist Law,
Fire Fighting Law, etc. in Japan), other related laws, and licensing conditions must be
observed. In addition, application for permission based on the law must be conducted without
delay.
1.3 Precautions for handling
The iBurst system contains precision components; therefore, do not give any strong shock by
falling or dropping.
Strong shock may result in a failure or badly affect the lifetime or the product.
1.4 Design and execution policy
1.4.1 In designing the work, functionality, reliability, maintainability, economy, etc. must be
fully taken into account.
1.4.2 Not only enhancement of safety mind but also security for the third party must always
be kept in mind.
1.4.3 Be sure to make efforts to complete better work objective in accordance with
technological sense.
1.4.4 Be sure to keep communication with the owner and residents of the building and the
neighboring residents with due consideration not to cause a problem.
1.4.5 Be sure to make efforts to grasp the status of the work, to give an appropriate advice,
and to fulfill a duty of reporting the status.
1.4.6 Be sure to prevent the work from generating a noise or vibration to maintain the living
environment.
1.4.7 Be sure to dispose the waste materials caused from the work in accordance with the
specified method regarding the method, place, etc. of disposal, thereby preventing the
occurrence of accident to be caused by the waste material.
1.4.8 In conducting a negotiation or design, future expansion of equipment should be
considered as much as possible.
1.5 Installation criteria
1.5.1 General
1.5.1.1 Select the location where general public is hard to access but maintenance is
easy.
1.5.1.2 Antenna and mounting stud must be located at a place where dropping or other
accident, if any, may not be harmful for the personnel and general public.
1.5.1.3 In designing a base station, the location shall be determined by the study of
strength against load and work product.

1.5.1.4 Do not place antenna, base station, or other obstruction in front of advertising
display such as neon sign and signboard.
1.5.1.5 When conducting the work, select the location of antenna, base station, UPS,
wiring, piping, etc. in consultation with the owner while considering the
appearance.
1.5.1.6 Before implementing the work, check the status of any broken or damaged
portion of the building and facilities associated with the installation area of the
base station together with the owner or the person from the control company.
1.5.1.7 Materials for mounting equipment
1.5.1.7.1 Quality-of-the-material specification used for the mount of outdoor
installation etc. is considered as hot- dip galvanized. Moreover,
quality-of-the-material specification of inside-of-a-house installation is
made into the anti-rust material more than electric zinc plating material,
and a bolt and a nut also apply to this. However, about the place of
conditions, which are easy to generate, such as rust etc., it applies to
outdoor specification.
However, a hot-dip galvanized steel or Dacrotized finishing is recommended
for the bolt directly fixed on PA unit mounting bracket.
1.5.1.7.2 In the connection of various cables, use of cold-shrinkable tube as well as
self-fusing tape is recommended as a method of waterproof treatment.
1.5.1.8 Study the shape of the building and the status of waterproof treatment on the
roof not to cause any problem in the installation on the building.

1.5.2.9.3 Isolation from other radio system
Regarding the existing antenna of other radio system such as TV antenna, effect on
the associated antenna shall be fully taken into account at the time of installation.
As TV antenna has directivity, no base station shall be located in the direction of the
antenna. There may be the possibility of having an effect even outside the range of
directivity due to the effect of reflection depending on the environment around the
location. Practically, as shown in the following figure, the base station must not be
located within the range of existing antenna direction ±45° on the same roof.
More than 3 m distance (horizontal) shall be allowed from TV antenna and installation
within the range of ±45 degrees from TV antenna direction shall be avoided.

When installing an antenna, it is necessary to keep the antenna away from the rotating
metal such as a heat-dissipating fan of the outdoor unit of air conditioner, ventilating
fan, etc.
When there is any rotating metal on the same horizontal plane, it is necessary to keep
the isolation of more than 1.5 m. If, however, this isolation cannot be secured, isolation
of more than 0.5 m from the top and bottom edges of the antenna must be secured.

1.5.6 Precautions on cabling
1.5.6.1 Ground
1) The grounding terminal of the power cable must be surely connected to the ground.
(Note)
Unless ground connection is completed, noise may be caused during communication or
equipment may be damaged as lightening protection by ground line is disabled.
2) Ground shall be 100 Ω or less.
(Note)
If the ground resistance is more than 100 Ω, sound or image failure may be caused in
other radio equipment.
1.5.6.2 Cable
1) Be sure to lay the network cable and power cable in separate ducts.
(Note)
If the network cable and power cable are laid in a bundle, noise may be caused during
communication or sound or image failure may be caused in other radio equipment.
2) Attach an identification label on the power box, circuit breaker, and Ethernet
switch to indicate the cable belongs to the base station.
(Note)
Unless identification label is attached on the power box and circuit breaker, PA unit,
Base unit power may be turned off erroneously. Or power to other electrical devices
may be turned off erroneously resulting in a good deal of trouble.
Unless identification is attached on the network cable, identification work for network
cable may be difficult.
3) Allow an isolation distance of more than 10 cm between the network cable and
power cable.
(Note)
If the line cable and power cable are laid close together, noise may be caused during
communication.
4) Do not lay power cable within 3 m from the TV antenna.
(Note)
If power cable is close to the TV antenna, TV sound and image may be damaged.
