Marking and Drilling

Marking

Before placing the system, mark the position where the system will be installed

and also the positions where anchor bolts will be fixed using an ink line or a pen.

Check Marking (Horizontal/Vertical) When Mounting the System on Wall If you do the drilling or anchoring on a wall, ensure the positions are marked as

horizontal or vertical, as only a limited range of tuning is allowed for leveling after

the system is mounted.

To mount the system on a wall, perform the leveling test by referring to the

System Leveling section to check that positions are marked to be horizontal or

vertical before drilling. If the result shows that they are not horizontal or vertical,

modify the marking positions.

Marking Using the System When the device position is determined, place the mounting bracket on the surface

and then mark the positions where anchor bolts will be fixed using a pen. This will

reduce marking error.

The detailed procedure for cabling is as follows.

Figure 12. Detailed Cabling Procedure

Considerations when Cutting the Cable after Installation When cutting the cable after installation, make sure that the connector is

disconnected. Installation of the cable with the connector connected to the system

may cause contact failure or damage to the connector assembled to the system and

the cable due to cable tension or the operator’s mistakes.

Cabling Workflow The sequence of cable cutting and installation of the cable workflow can be

changed depending on the field situation such as ‘cutting after installing’ or

‘installing after cutting’.



Cable Path Inspection

Follow these guidelines when inspecting the cabling path:

A minimum cable length must be selected, provided that it does not affect the

cable installation and maintenance.

The cable must be placed in a location where it will not be damaged by

external factors (such as power line, flooding, and footpaths).

In areas where the cable may be damaged by external factors (such as cable

tray, ducts, and flexible pipe), ensure that measures are taken to prevent

damage to the cable.

Cable Cutting

Measure the exact distance, carefully checking the route, and cut the cable using a

cutting tool.

Follow these guidelines when cutting the cable:

Cut the cable to the length determined in the Cable Path Inspection step.

Use a dedicated cable cutting tool.

Cut the cable at right angles.

Be careful to keep the cable away from any moisture, iron, lead, dust or other

foreign material when cutting.

Remove any foreign material attached to the cable using solvent and a brush.

Cable Installation

Cable installation involves running the cable along the cabling path to the target

connector of the system or an auxiliary device after the cable path inspection and

cable cutting have been completed.

Follow these guidelines when installing a cable:

Be careful not to damage the cable.

Always use the maximum curvature radius possible, and make sure that the

minimum curvature radius specification is complied with.

If the cable needs to be protected, use a PVC channel, spiral sleeve, flexible

pipe, or cable tray.

Cable Binding

Cable binding involves fixing and arranging an installed cable using binding

thread, cable ties, binding wire, and ram clamps.

Follow these guidelines when binding a cable:

Be careful not to damage the cable during binding.

Use appropriate cable binding tools according to the target location (indoor or

outdoor) and the use of the cable (such as power supply cable, optical cable, or

feeder line).

Do not let the cutting section of a cable tie, binding line, and so on be exposed

to the outside. This may cause damage to cables or personal injury. Make sure

that the cutting sections of the cables are not exposed to the outside.

Trim the cable binding cord at a 50 mm distance from its knob and insert it

into the knot so that the knot does not loosen.



Connector Attachment

Connector attachment involves assembling a connector to an installed cable or to a

device on the site.

Follow these guidelines when attaching a connector:

Make sure you are fully aware of the connector assembly method before

assembling a connector. Assemble the connector in accordance with its pin

map.

Each connector has a hook to prevent its core positions from being changed.

Check the corresponding grooves before connecting a connector to another

connector.

Use a heat shrink tube at a connector connection for cables that are installed

outdoors, such as feeder lines, to prevent water leakage and corrosion from

occurring at the part exposed to the outside.

Connect each cable of the connector assembly in a straight line.

Be careful when connecting a cable so that contact failure does not occur at a

connector connection due to tension.

Identification Tag Attachment

Identification tag attachment involves attaching a marker cable tie, nameplate, and

label to both ends of a cable (connections to a connector) to identify its use and

cabling path.

Marker Cable Tie On the marker cable tie, a label can be attached. The

appearance and specification may differ depending

on the type and manufacturer.

Follow these guidelines when attaching an identification tag:

When installing a cable outdoors, use relief engraving and coated labels to

prevent the markings from being erased.

Since the form and attachment method for identification tags are different for

each provider, consult with the provider before attaching them.

Connecting Ground Cable When connecting the cables, always connect the ground cable first. If a person

comes in contact the equipment, connects a cable, or performs maintenance

without connecting the ground cable, the system can be damaged or someone may

be injured due to static electricity and/or short circuit.



Finishing the System I/O Ports and Cable Inlet To prevent foreign substances, outdoor air and moisture from entering the system

I/O ports (power, external interface, and so on) and cable inlet, finish it as follows:

- Unused inlets

Use finishing materials including dust cap and rubber packing.

- Cable-installed inlet

After cable installation, block any space in the inlet with dust covers.

Cable Installation Checklist When installing, take care not to overlap or tangle the cables; also, consider future

expansion. Install the DC power cable and data transmission cable away from the

AC power cable to prevent electromagnetic induction.

GPS Requirements

Installation Requirements for the GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna must be installed in a location where it has the maximum

amount of open sky. The ideal position is one where there are no obstacles that

interfere with the antenna within 10 degrees or more of the horizon (the elevation

angle). This allows the GPS receiver to select the best combination or distribution

of GPS satellites that gives optimal performance.

Figure 14. Elevation Mask and Satellites

For good signal strength, you do not have to place the GPS antenna on a high pole

or building, which is often required for RF and microwaves reception.

Any place where there are no obstacles blocking the GPS antenna from the sky

and where it is protected from the outdoor elements is suitable. In this case, you

can even install it on the floor.

However, you can prevent the GPS antenna from malfunctioning by installing it in

a place where it does not receive reflected satellite signals. As multi-path

interference greatly affects the accuracy of the GPS receiver, it is better to

minimize reflected satellite signals entering through the top of the GPS antenna.



Therefore, the GPS antenna installation location must meet the following three

guidelines:

1 A location that can avoid the effects of many obstacles and buildings that

interfere with GPS reception and cause multi-path interference.

2 A location that can avoid RF signal interference. Keep clear from other RF

antennas as well as steel-framed structures or microwave signals.

3 In outdoor applications, a location as low as possible and within a coverage

area of a lightning rod to avoid damage from lightning.

Considerations for Elevation Mask Considering the elevation mask, make the GPS antenna take the signals received at

a valid elevation angle only.

Countermeasures for External Interference and Multi-Path Influences If a GPS antenna is influenced by external interference signals or multi-path

interference at a certain place, it is best to reinstall the antenna at another place.

GPS Antenna Sharing

To ensure the GPS receiver works properly, it is recommended that you install one

GPS antenna per GPS receiver. It is also recommended that you use a GPS-

specific splitter only if absolutely necessary.

Installing the GPS Antenna

The signals from a GPS satellite have a very low level (-130 dBm). Therefore, the

GPS receiving antenna should be installed in a place where it can receive signals

in direct line of sight, limiting the number of walls and floors as possible.

To receive as many satellite signals as possible, it is important to ensure there is

maximum open sky. The visual field angle must be 360 degrees, and there must

be 160 degrees or more above the horizon. If there are too many obstacles within

the horizon, it decreases the performance and functionality of the GPS receiver.

The GPS satellites are distributed so that eight of them can always be tracked from

any one place across the world, as long as there are no obstacles in the horizon.

For the GPS receiver to operate according to our needs, there must be three GPS

satellites with a healthy status for first fix (that is, there is no obstacle directly

between it and the GPS antenna). If the position hold operation has been

completed, the GPS receiver can perform its operations suitably if at least one

satellite can be tracked continually.



Power Cabling

The power supply is configured as follows.

Adaptor Installation Environment Because the adaptor is not waterproof, you should consider the installation

environment. The adaptor can be damaged due to electrical short-circuit from

water.

The adaptor must be installed in an open space for proper heat dissipation.



Spacing between AC/DC Adaptor and 4G LTE Network Extender The AC/DC adaptor’s power cable length for the 4G LTE Network Extender is

4.92 ft. (1.5 m). The AC/DC adaptor should be installed where the cable length

does not exceed 4.92 ft. (1.5 m) for installation and connection to the 4G LTE

Network Extender.

Proper Circuit Breaker To ensure a stable power supply, a slow blow (low speed operation) type circuit

breaker must be installed in the power cable connecting the AC power supply (or

power distributor) to the 4G LTE Network Extender. (Circuit breaker’s capacity: 5

A). After installing the circuit breaker, attach a tag showing the connected

system’s name to the breaker to prevent misuse.

Shutdown the Power Supply

The isolation procedure to turn the system power off is as follows:

In order to shut down the power supply to the entire system, the main power

switch on the AC power distribution should be turned off.

If the system needs to be shielded from the main power supply for service

purposes, the switches on the relevant circuit breakers (for example, those on

the AC power distribution or applied to building installation) must be turned

off.

If the system needs to be operated independently, the following (power) isolation

may be provided by unplugging the power supply cord or main plug.

Cautions for Installation

Observe the following safety instructions when installing the 4G LTE Network

Extender.

Before Installing

Post warning signs in areas where high-voltage cables are installed.

Post ‘off limit’ signs in areas where accidents are most expected.

With guardrails or fences, block open areas such as connecting parts, roof, and

scaffold.

While Installing

The system power must be cut off before installing.

Power Switch Off Make sure the power switch of the power supply is off when installing the system.

Installing the system with the power switch on may cause system damage or fatal

human injury when cables are not correctly connected.

Wearing Protective Gloves and Glasses The workers should wear protective gloves and glasses because they can be

injured by the debris generated when drilling holes on walls or ceilings.

Do Not Wear Metal Things such as Watch, Ring, Etc. Do not let an electric short circuit occur due to metal objects such as a watch or

ring.

Worker Injury Avoid applying excessive force when installing the power cable in narrow areas.

Adjacent equipment and walls may cause accidental injury.

Do not Work by Yourself A worker must not work alone during any key process.



Finishing the Cable Inlet To prevent foreign substances, outdoor air and moisture from entering the cable

inlet (including the cable gland and conduit), finish it as follows:

- Unused inlet

Use the finishing materials including dust cap and rubber packing.

- Cable-installed inlet

After cable installation, block any space in the inlet with tape, compressed

sponge, rubber packing, and silicon.

After Installing

Cover the cable holes drilled on the floor with a solid cover.

Remove any debris produced during the work and clean up the installation site.

Cautions while Cleaning the Unit Make sure that the worker does not damage the installed cables while cleaning the

unit.

Cautions while Cleaning Power Supply While cleaning the power supply device, take caution that the device does not

come in contact with alien bodies that may cause power failure.

Cautions while System Operation Because the system heat sink may become hot, avoid physical contact.

Pre-survey

To enable seamless construction, the installer and the service provider should

perform a preconstruction inspection to examine and analyze the following items:

Examination of the conformance and the economic efficiency of the place that

the system is transported or installed

Status of external interfaces

Power capacity and wiring status

Possibility of system extension

Review if the place has the enough space for operation and maintenance.

If there is a need for improvement or an issue, the installer and the service provider

must discuss measures to resolve any issue that arises.



Installation Tools

The basic tools for installation are listed in the following table. Additional tools

required for each site need to be identified and prepared during a site survey before

starting the installation.

Precautions When Using the Installation Tools The required installation tools may vary depending on the conditions at the site.

In addition to the basic tools, a protractor, compass, GPS receiver, ladder, safety

equipment, cleaning tools, and so on should also be prepared in consideration of

the site conditions.

GPS Satellite Tracking and Position Hold The survey of an object’s position using GPS satellites is based on triangulation.

Three satellites are enough to survey the position of an object by triangulation.

However, to calculate the correct time deviation, a total of four satellites are

required.

Usually, the GPS antenna is installed in a high place, such as on a roof. It must be

installed away from protruding objects, such as trees or buildings. In addition, it

must be positioned away from any obstacle that covers part of the airspace around

the horizon of the building where it is installed.

If it is impossible to ensure a completely open airspace, you should install the GPS

antenna facing the equator providing a maximum view of the Southern sky

(Northern sky in the Southern hemisphere).

Furthermore, when installing the GPS antenna using a steel cylinder structure

shared by other RF antennas, it must be separated by more than 1 m from that steel

structure.

Figure 28. GPS Antenna Installation

Lightening Arrestor

A lightning arrestor is required when there is a danger of lightning striking a cable

or related part. The lightning arrestor must be installed in a place where the

antenna cable or set of combined cables enters a building or station, or a place

inside the building or station. The purpose of this is to protect the people and

equipment inside the building or station.

If struck directly by lightning, the lightning arrestor, antenna, or cable must be

replaced. Furthermore, you must inspect the lightening arrestor periodically, and

replace the antenna and cable periodically to ensure protection if lightning occurs

frequently at the site.

The lightning arrestor must be well grounded so that it can transmit a large current

quickly.



Signal Interference

The GPS system is designed so that it has a strong immunity to noise and can

endure interference.

The Samsung GPS receiver provides a quality timing clock in most installations.

However, to ensure that the GPS receiver performs locking successfully and

guarantees uninterrupted timing performance, an interference-free environment is

required for frequencies near the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ± 1 MHz).

Interference Types

There are two types of interference which affect the GPS L1 frequency:

Narrow band (inband) interference

When a frequency deviation (3.5 kHz), such as an FM wave, inflows in around

the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz), it is called narrow band (inband)

interference. Narrow band interference is monitored by the spectrum analyzer.

Because it has a time lag, a locking failure or a different type of alarm can

occur.

Wideband interference

When around the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz) and the frequency

deviation is more than 7 kHz, this is called wide band interference.

Wideband interference includes the interference induced by the harmonics

from a communication service with a different frequency bandwidth, increased

thermal noise from communication services around the L1 band, inflow of

interference due to unauthorized communication, saturation due to oscillation

of an accessory device, and so on.

You cannot monitor these kinds of interferences with a device such as a

spectrum analyzer. If the system has a wideband interference problem, you

should consult an expert in this area.

For other bandwidths, except the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ± 1 MHz), a GPS

Band Pass Filter (BPF) must be included within the GPS antenna to remove the

interference from the GPS bandwidth. No outband interference must affect the

GPS signals.

Avoiding Interferences

If more than one antenna for other communications, such as an antenna for a base

station or satellite communication, is installed at the facility, the GPS antenna must

be installed in a location to which no interference signals flow in.

If interference exists within the GPS L1 frequency bandwidths (1575.42 ± 1

MHz), you should use a band pass filter .



Furthermore, if the GPS antenna is installed near a transmitter which operates with

a bandwidth similar to the GPS L1 frequency, the possibility of interference

increases (in this case, interference is caused by harmonics). If the GPS antenna

has an interference problem , you must move it to a different location where

interference signals can be avoided or minimized.

Inband Noise Inband noise includes narrow band noise and wide band noise that occur in an

inband width. (L1, 1575.42 ± 1 MHz)

- Narrow band noise in an inband width: If it is higher than 108 dBm, it can affect

the operation of the GPS receiver.

- Wideband noise in an inband width: It may not be detected by a measuring

instrument and impair the sensitivity of the GPS receiver and affect its operation.

If there is an outband interference problem, you can reduce the effects of

interference on the GPS receiver by applying one or more L1 GPS band pass

filters.

The filter should be installed at the following locations:

The input connector of the Samsung GPS receiver

Behind the antenna or the front end of a line amplifier

The filters above are used to reject jamming tones for outband signals. If

interferences actually occur in the inband signals, they will result in serious

consequences.



GPS Antenna Installation

The GPS antenna can be fixed to a wall, floor, tower, pole or as recommended by

the manufacturer of the outdoor GPS antenna. . Ensure that you are safe when

fixing an anchor bolt to a wall and treat the anchor bolt fixing area with a silicon or

waterproof finishing material.

Installing the Concrete Block A concrete block should be installed that satisfies the specification regarding size

and strength. When installing the concrete block, and before forming the concrete,

steel reinforcement bars should be arranged in a mesh layout at 3.93 in. (100 mm)

intervals before forming the concrete. (Either an anchor bolt assembly or a

concrete anchor can be used.)

Installing the Antenna When you install the antenna, the antenna must be within the protective angle

(left/right side 45° each from the central axis) to prevent the antenna from

lightning damage.

Distance between the Antennas When installing an antenna, 3.28~4.92 ft (1~1.5 m) distance must be secured

between the antennas to prevent interference.

Appendix C Installing the Feeder Cable

Cautions When Installing Feeder Cable

When installing the feeder cable (GPS/RF cable), the following cautions shall be

considered:

Ensure any mounting plates used in installation do not damage the surface of

the feeder cable.

Attach the cognitive tapes to both ends of the feeder cable, which makes it

easy to recognize.

When connecting the antenna and lightning arrestor to the feeder cable, use

proper torque to prevent reflected waves.

The curvature radius should be maximized during installation. Do not exceed

the minimum curvature radius.

Radius of Curvature of the Feeder Line When installing a feeder line, the radius of curvature of the sections where cables

are bent should be larger than the allowed radius of curvature. If the radius of

curvature for the feeder line installation is less than the allowed radius of

curvature, it may affect the performance of the system.

Ensure that the feeder cable does not interfere with steel towers, ladders and in the

areas chiefly used by people.

1/2 in. 7/8 in. 1-1/4 in. 1-5/8 in.



Connect the connector to the antenna in a straight line and after connecting, do not

apply excessive force.

Use the vinyl tape and the heat shrink tube for the external exposed part of the

connector to prevent damage from water seepage.

Wind the self-bonding rubber tape overlapping (keep a distance as the half size of

rubber tape) to the connector connection part and wind the vinyl tape for any

electric wiring two times or more, and then cover with the jelly type heat shrink

tube.

Connection of the Feeder Cable Connector Connecting the feeder cable connector is a critical process, so the qualified

workers who finished the related education should perform.
