Prerequisites
Note:
Adhere to the following for safety and operation reasons: The
mechanical design of the AIR unit is based on environmental conditions
that are equal to or exceeding class 4.1 as specified in EN 300 019-1-4
and GR-3178-CORE and thereby respects the static mechanical load
imposed on an AIR unit by wind at maximum velocity. Wind loads in this
document are calculated with reference to wind pressure. For more
accurate results, the specific terrain information for relevant sites and
geographical area where the AIR unit will be installed must be carefully
analyzed, considered, and calculated according to EN 1991-1-4.
Pole clamps, brackets, mounting accessories and other installation
material or equipment specified by Ericsson in the AIR unit product
information documentation must be used and Ericsson installation
instructions be complied with. In addition, it must be observed that
specific environmental conditions that the AIR unit becomes exposed to,
such as icing, heat, dust, dynamic stress (for example, strain caused by
oscillating support structures) or other environmental conditions that
exceed or otherwise deviate from the Antenna Integrated Radio Unit
Description, can result in the breakage of an AIR unit or its mounting
accessories and even cause the AIR unit to fall to the ground.
These facts, information, and circumstances must be considered and
properly taken into account during the site planning process and
adhered to for installation and operation of the AIR unit. Ericsson
expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability arising out of failures in
this regard.
2.4
Conditions
The conditions in this section must be fulfilled before work starts.
2.4.1
Before Going to Site
Before going to site, ensure the following:
— Site access permission has been received.

2.4.2
Before Starting Installation
Before starting the installation, ensure the following:
— The site is prepared according to the customer site documentation.
— Ordered hardware is available.
— After unpacking, the AIR unit must be powered up within 48 hours, if high
humidity or cold temperatures apply. Ensure that the AIR unit is not left in an
outdoor environment for more than one week prior to taking it into service.
— The power supply (−48 V DC) for the AIR unit is installed and tested at the
site.
— Site grounding is installed and tested.
— For protection of the AIR unit, one of the following alternatives must be
installed and tested:
2.5
•
A main switch and an external fuse
•
A circuit breaker
Warranty Seal
The unit is equipped with two warranty seal stickers.
Note:
6
Seals that have been implemented by Ericsson must not be broken or
removed, as it otherwise voids warranty.

Installation Recommendations
The AIR unit is designed for outdoor use, but to ensure optimal operation avoid
the following:
— Hot microclimates caused by, for example, heat radiated or reflected from
dark or metallic walls or floors
— Chimney mouths or ventilation system outlets
— Large glass or concrete surfaces
Avoid radio interference by keeping the area directly in front of the antenna clear
of the following:
— Metal surfaces or objects such as railings, ladders, or chains
— Equipment generating electromagnetic fields, for example, electric motors in
air conditioners or diesel generators
— RBS equipment

Do!
Products not connected to ground risk damage from overvoltage or overcurrent. Always
ground products according to instructions.
For general information about grounding principles, see Grounding Guidelines for
RBS Sites.
Steps
1. Route the grounding cable from the MET at the site to the grounding point
on the AIR unit.
Note:
The minimum grounding cable area is 16 mm² for copper cable, or a
similar cable.
Unscrew the two M6 bolts from
the unit and connect the
grounding cable. The correct order
of the grounding cable connector,
flat washer, lock washer, and the
M6 bolt is important.

Hoist and Install Optical Cables
For instructions on installing the optical cable, see Installing Optical Cables for
Main-Remote Solutions. The cables are fiber optic and must be handled with
care. Never touch the end-face of the optical connectors. Only remove protective
covers right before installation.
For information on how to handle optical cables, see Handling SFP Modules and
Optical Cables.
Steps
Attach the pulling wire to the
optical cable.
1.
Note:
Ge2614F
Be careful if the installation
requires pulling the cables. The
minimum allowed bending radius
for the optical cable provided by
Ericsson is 40 mm, and the
minimum allowed bending radius
for each individual fiber is 15 mm.
The minimum bending radius for
other cables is specified by their
respective manufacturers. Do not
twist the fiber to the minimum
bending radius.
2. Pull the pulling wire up to the AIR unit. The pulling force must not exceed
400 N.

Power Up AIR Unit
11
Power Up AIR Unit
The AIR unit must be powered up within 48 hours after installation even if the
AIR unit is not taken into service. The reason is to protect the internal units from
local climate conditions.
Do!
Products not connected to ground risk damage from overvoltage or overcurrent. Always
ground products according to instructions.
Caution!
Do not stand or work in front of an operational antenna, unless it has been verified or
documented that RF exposure levels are within specified safety limits.
Caution!
Excessive RF exposure can result in potentially adverse health effects. If it is suspected
that RF exposure limits may be exceeded, ensure that transmitting antennas are
switched off, or reduce output power whilst working with or near antennas.
For more information about RF EMF exposure, see Antenna Integrated Radio
Unit Description and Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

Caution!
Excessive RF exposure can result in potentially adverse health effects. If it is suspected

For more information about RF EMF exposure, see Antenna Integrated Radio
Unit Description and Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
Once the power is switched on and the AIR unit is connected to baseband, the
AIR unit is loaded with the AIR-specific software. Optical indicators show the
status of the AIR unit.
Note:
It can take up to 10 minutes before the AIR unit is in operation.
