Chapter 3: Site Preparation
• Suitability, space availability, and location of the existing cable tray or ladder rack between the
equipment room and the antenna tower or the antenna system support structure.
• Cable access route into the equipment room check
• Type of tower and the type of structure on which the GPS antenna will be mounted

Site Selection Considerations

Design the MTS site building to meet the requirements of any local building codes, and relevant
regulations, applicable to the site location.
Motorola Solutions recommends the following considerations when selecting a site:
• For front access, stations allow only a minimum of 80 cm for access.
• The ceiling structure is able to support a cable tray assembly for routing the inter-cabinet cabling
and other site cabling. The cable tray assembly is mounted to the site ceiling and walls per site
plan.
• Room door dimensions:
- MTS LiTE or MTS 2 cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86 cm width/without wooden
pallet 59 cm
- MTS 4 and Expansion cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86 cm width/without wooden
pallet 68 cm
• MTS operating temperature:
- MTS LiTE 400 MHz without fans: -30 °C to +55 °C
- MTS LiTE 400 MHz with fans: -30 °C to +60 °C
- MTS LiTE 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
- MTS 2 260 MHz and 400 MHz without fans: -30 °C to +55 °C
- MTS 2 400 MHz with fans: -30 °C to +60 °C
- MTS 2 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
- MTS 2 900 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
- MTS 4 260 MHz and 400 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
- MTS 4 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +55 °C
Maintain the site interior temperature within these limits. Maintaining a stable, moderate site
temperature is the best approach for long-term reliability of the equipment.
• Mains socket outlet is available next to the MTS for the powering of test equipment. This mains
outlet must be on the same electrical phase as the MTS supply.
• Proximity of a railway track: the MTS installation requires at least 3 meters distance from the center
of the track.
• Consider the floor loading. See
NOTICE:
To prevent potential damage to the MTS, install proper surge protection on E1/Ethernet/X.21
site links, all antennas, and power inputs. For more information, see
