1.3. Installation Requirement:

Installation Site: The equipment should not be installed in places that exceeds 2000 meters

•

of altitude; have a proper air conditioning system (if it is necessary), voltage regulator, ventilation
air conducting; ensure that sufficient space around the equipment is available to permit easy
access, and to enhance future ease of maintenance. It is recommended a minimum 0.5m of
clearance both right and left sides, and 1.0m both front and rear of the equipment; the ceiling
should have at least 3.0m of height where the blower exhaust will be installed. The place must
be free of dirt, humidity and dust.

• Tower base;

• Lightning rod;

• Neutral wire;

• Power supply ground;

• All the equipment grounds such as power board, voltage regulator, etc;

• Broadcast Antennas, coaxial cable and transmission line.
