2.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Site Considerations
Outdoor equipment is designed to be waterproof, rainproof, and with snow protection.
Temporary protection should be taken when the equipment enclosure is opened for
installation or maintenance in an outdoor environment. The equipment must not be
opened for installation or maintenance in harsh weather (e.g. gale, storm rainfall,
extreme temperatures, and high humidity).
Installation Location
The mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment. To
avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to
minimize interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
Environmental
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended
to install the equipment in locations having stable temperatures and unrestricted
airflow. The installation location for the product should be well ventilated. The
equipment has been designed to operate at the temperature range and humidity level
as stated in the product specifications in the datasheet. Direct sunlight exposure to the
equipment should be avoided. Provide additional shelter if necessary.
Power Supply
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. It is
recommended that the PSU be operated on a dedicated circuit breaker or fused circuit.
Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all
cables connected to the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is
properly grounded.
Cable Routing
Depending on equipment configuration, a variety of types of cables are required. Where
applicable, ensure cables are properly routed and secured so that they are not damaged.
Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid
potential physical injury to the installation personnel and the equipment.
