Pole Mounting; Preparatory Field Engineering Work; Preparation And Configuration Of The Fau - Globalstar FAU200 SAT Installation Handbook

It is recommended that the DC power supply unit incorporates its own ON/OFF
switch to allow the FAU to be powered ON and OFF remotely.

Pole Mounting

The FAU can be mounted on a standard pole, see Technical Data and Appendix.
The following maximum stub pole free lengths are supported subject to the local in-
country regulations.
• 1.5 metres maximum for nominal 50 mm diameter stub pole.
• 3 metres maximum for nominal 100 mm diameter stub pole.
NOTE: Since the FAU should be mounted at least 2m above the roof level or highest
obstruction (see "Planning the Location for the FAU" on page 4) the 50mm diameter
stub pole should only be used as a "jockey pole", i.e. fitted to a mast. See "Typical
Wall and Pole Mounting of the FAU" on page 26 for an example.

Preparatory Field Engineering Work

The following checklist details some of the main engineering field activities, which
may need to have been completed before installing the FAU:
• Erection of mast / pole.
• Installation of the cross-connect box and line-jack socket(s) at the subscribers
• Cabling of AC mains supply to DC Power Supply Unit, if applicable.
• Installation of DC Power Supply Unit and any stand-by power supply.
• Installation of data and telephony cabling from FAU to payphone/residence.
• Installation of power supply cabling from FAU to DC power supply unit.
• Provision of earthing system for FAU.

Preparation and Configuration of the FAU

Preparation and configuration of the FAU at the installer's depot is essential before
field installation can take place.
The following checklist details the pre-requisite activities to be carried out for each
FAU:
• Unpack the FAU and check all packaged contents, refer to check list enclosed in
• Allocate SIM card to FAU.
• Place FAU on earthing mat, connect earth lead and attach earthing strap to wrist.
• Using the Torx tools provided in the Installation Kit, remove the rear cover plate
