2Installation site requirements
Prior to installation of the Nokia InLite system, it is most important that certain
actions have been carried out to ensure installation continuity and safety.
2.1 Checking the site
A number of aspects need to be verified as being satisfactory.
Accessibility
Check the following:
Installation site requirements
•Site safety access is provided
•The site is accessible to installation, commissioning and maintenance
personnel.
Grounding points
Check that the grounding point(s) are clearly identified.
Power supplies
Check that all the necessary power points are conveniently located for connection
of the Nokia InLite Main Unit (MU) and Remote Units (RUs).
Each RU requires its own power supply and a connection to the mains may be
required.
Space
Check that there is adequate space for:
•Installation work
•MU, RU and fibre optic cables.
•The recommended spacing distances for the MU and RUs as outlined in
Warnings and Cautions have been taken into account in the site planning.
Temperature and ventilation
Adequate space must be provided around the MU and RUs to ensure that the
system can be maintained within the operating temperature ranges.
Check the following:
•The site must guarantee natural ventilation to the system.
System Requirements for Installation and Operation
•A distance of two meters must be maintained between the MU or RUs
(RUs) and a heating opening.
•The RUs should be mounted in reasonable locations.
•The RUs should not be installed inside heating or conditioning systems.
•The RUs should not be installed inside a cable pipeline.
•Bear in mind that the temperature in the upper part of a room is higher than
at eye level. If the room has a false ceiling, verify that the environment
temperatures at the installation position do not exceed the allowed limits
for the RU.
Tools
Ensure that a complete set of tools is available.
Identification of installation locations/positions
Check that the locations and positions for the installation of the MU and RUs
within the building complex have been clearly identified.
RU mounting positions
Keep into consideration that the RU transmits an RF signal and that the safety
distances must be respected.
RUs are typically installed next to the ceiling and for safety reasons they must be
properly mounted. RUs must be accessible for testing and maintenance
Cable routing
Check that the routing for the fibre optic cables between the MU and the RUs have
been clearly identified.
Documentation
The required documents should be available:
•Site-specific installation documents, providing information on cabling
routes, RU and MU locations, power supplies and so forth
•Nokia InLite User Manual
•BTS User Manuals (if required).
BTS status
In order to test the Nokia InLite, the BTSs should have been commissioned and
the Abis links established.
If the Abis link has not been set up, a power meter is required to to measure signal
levels.
Power connections
The MU grounding and AC power sockets and the RU AC power supply sockets
should be installed either before installation begins or early in the installation
process.

4Installation requirements
This chapter specifies the preparatory requirements for the installation of the
Nokia InLite system.
4.1 Checking the site
Before the Nokia InLite can be installed, the site must be properly surveyed and
prepared, and all the required external services must be correctly installed. The
site survey must identify any special requirements for the installation.
Installation requirements
The site must meet the following requirements before the installation can begin:
1.The site is accessible and safe for working.
2.The safety distance calculations as presented in Nokia InLite: Warnings
and Cautions have been made and taken into account.
3.External connections for the MU (grounding point and mains power
supply) are available.
4.External connections for the RUs (mains power).
5.All required documentation is available, for example, site-specific
installation instructions and User Manual.
6.The correct delivery has been brought to the site.
4.2 Space requirements
The MU can be mounted on a wall, pole or other vertical support.
The RUs and the mounting rack can be mounted on a wall or pole or other vertical
support.
This section presents general issues that must be considered when choosing the
System Requirements for Installation and Operation
4.4 Requirements for wall and pole installation
Qualified personnel must inspect the installation wall and/or pole or other vertical
support before mounting the MU, RU and mounting rack. The installation wall or
pole must be strong enough to bear the weight of each unit.
The optional pole mounting kit can be used when the installation pole diameter is
between 60 and 300 mm (2.36 and 11.81 in). These dimensions are applicable to
the MU. The RU can be mounted on a thinner pole.
Anchor screws
The anchor “Fishers” screws are used for attaching the MU and mounting frame
and RU with the mounting rack to the wall.
The MU anchor screws must be M6 size, stainless steel with the minimum
breaking strength (Rm) of 800 N/mm2. An appropriate counterpart for the anchor
screw (for example, an anchor plug) must be selected according to the screw and
the mounting base material. If the anchor screws are of other standard than the
metric standard, they must be selected so that they meet the requirement set to the
metric standard screws mentioned above.
4.5 Grounding
To protect the MU from damaging overvoltages through communication cables,
or power supply lines, grounding cabling must be planned and installed before the
installation of the MU. To avoid interference, it is recommended that large
grounding systems be designed case-specifically.
A power plug with protective ground connection is not sufficient for the MU.
Grounding must have a fixed, non-removable connection.
Note
Regulations issued by local authorities/legislation must be followed when
planning the grounding of a site!
In general, grounding is planned as follows:
•The grounding cable is connected with screws or with a nut to the
grounding point of the MU. The grounding cable must be fitted with an
appropriate lug.
•The minimum cross-section of the copper grounding conductor is 2.5 mm2
•The maximum cross-section of the copper grounding conductor is 35 mm
•The maximum value of ground resistance is 10 mΩ
2
•The ground cable must be connected to a main grounding busbar

Installation requirements
Table 5. Connectors, cables and recommended fuses
Note
In general, the fuses for cable protection have to be rated according to the national
electrical safety regulations.
4.7 Painting the Main Unit cover
If desired, the MU cover can be painted to make it better blend into the
surrounding environment. Some dark colours with higher absorptivity may be
restricted.
Nokia recommends that for painting the cover, a primer-topcoat combination of
Beckers TD 130 primer (for priming) and Beckers TH 141 paint (for surface
painting) be used. Other paints suitable for polycarbonate surfaces may also be
used.
Caution
Do not use any paint that contains alkalis, esters, ketones, aromatic, chlorinated,
or fluorinated hydrocarbons, since these may damage the cover. Paint containing
these chemicals can only be used if approved by the manufacturer for painting
polycarbonate objects.
The selected paint must be UV and weather-resistant, and suitable for
temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +50 °C (-40 °F to 122 °F). For environmental
conditions, refer to ETS 300 019-1-4:1992 class 4.1.
To paint the Nokia InLite cover:
1.Remove the MU cover as instructed.
2.Before painting, detach the cable cover and the cable cover support from
each other to prevent them from sticking to each other by paint and to
ensure that paint is applied evenly. The cover top can also be detached from
the cover by unscrewing the Torx T20 screws (see Figure ).
System Requirements for Installation and Operation
Figure 11. Removing the cover top
3.Remove stains and dust from the surface of the cover with an alcoholic or
acidic wash, or wipe it clean with a piece of cloth moistened with water and
mild washing agent. Do not use washing agents that contain alkalis,
aromatic, chlorinated, or fluorinated hydrocarbons, esters or ketones.
4.Rinse with water to remove any residue of cleaning chemicals.
5.Dry the cover parts by blowing ionized air on them to remove electrostatic
charges and dust particles.
6.Place a support under the cover and the cover top so that you do not have
to touch the parts during painting.
7.Use a clamp or hook for holding the cable cover and the cable cover
support during painting. See Figure for areas on which to place the clamp.
