Antenna Installation

I
1. Assembling
2. Installation

1. Assembling
1. Unpack the antenna from the cartoon using knife
carefully.
2. Verify it according the RF plan.
3. Using D-type 12-13 no spanner assemble it.

2. Installation
1. Connect O/D jumper to the antenna port using
30-32 D-type spanner.
2. Do the weather proofing on Jumper-Antenna
connection (only PVC tape).
Antenna jumper connection WP

Connect the antenna 2 clamps on the back

side of antenna using 12-13 no D-type
spanner.

Then use nylon rope for pulling up the

antenna over the tower.
Tie the rope with antenna.

Then pull the antenna on the tower

by pulling rope through the 6
double bearing pulley.

Now connect the antenna on this

pole mount (installed as per RF
plan) by the use of 12-13 no D-type
spanner.

SATETY
BELTS
SHOULD BE
USED AT
HEIGHTS

Antenna is now
installed on the tower
along with O/D jumper
cable

II

Antenna Line Installation

1. Routing of O/D jumper

Jumper cable
( , 50)

 Route the jumper cable along with tower body

Provide cable ties at sufficient distance
Provide loop on the jumper cable (U-shape/Circular)

U-shape loop

Circular loop

 All cable ties are tied in same direction and

should have smooth edges

At each loop provide the

cable ties.

2. Assembling and installation of RF clamps

6 WAY ,7/8 RF CLAMP

WITH FULL THREADED
NUTS-BOLTS.

Assemble it by using
12-13 D-type spanner.

Assembled 6 way clamp

6-way RF clams

Install RF clamps on HCT and VCT (on the

rectangular strips) using 12-13 D-type spanner.

3-way RF
clamp

NOTE : Distance between 2 clamps should be symmetric.

i.e On HCT < 1mtr & on VCT =1 to 1.5mtr

RF clamps
On VCT

2. Routing of RF cable
Cut the RF cable from the roll/drum as per
the desired length using RF cable cutter

RF cable Drum
Made 6 parts of feeder, 2 for each sector.

RF cable cutter

 Connectrorization procedure at one end of feeder cable:

Using knife remove outer
insulation from feeder
and then using two 30-32
no D-type spanner and
made the connectors on
each feeder cable at one
end.

Then provide temporary seal on each connector.

Using rope and pulley pull up the cables on the tower (Connector ends)
Made RF-Jumper connection using D-type 30-32 no. spanners.

Provide the weather proofing on the each connection.

Weather proofing set contains:
PVC Tape
Rubber Tape
Butyle Tape

4 layers of tapes are provided

on each connection. First PVC,
Butyle, Rubber and then PVC
again.

Route the cable straightly through

the clamps on the VCT
Give proper bend at HCT-VCT
connection ( bending radius 300mm)
Provide a dummy clamp at the bend
On HCT also routing should be
straight and tight enough
Weather proofing

Bend with Dummy clamp

VCT

Provide S-bend on feeder routing

before it enters through roxtec
S-bend

Shelter

Insert all cables through the roxtec inside the roxtec

Mark on the cable at the same position for all cable by
keeping 0.5 mtr extra
Remove them all, cut from the mark
Make connectorization outside the shelter insert again all
the cables inside the shelter

Earthing on Feeder

III

Strip out the outer

insulation by knife
Wrap the kit using
combinational plier
Earthing kit

Using 12-13no
spanner connect kit
with C-clamp for
termination on tower
body
Before termination of
c-clamp paint from
tower body is removed
by flat file.

Installation of Surge Arrestors

Connect the 6 Surge Arrestors to the each

connector of feeder cable by using 30-32 no
D-type spanner.
At the other end connect the six indoor
jumper with that six surge arrestors using 3032 no D-type spanner.
