Remote mounting of antenna and ODU
Perform this task when a remote mount configuration is required. In the remote
mount configuration, the antenna and ODU are attached to the mast separately,
connected to each other via a waveguide.
Before starting this task, ensure that all components and tools are available, as
described in
CAUTION
CAUTION
When installing a flexible waveguide, observe the following precautions:
x
Vibration: If a flexible waveguide is installed in a stressed (tensile) condition,
vibration should be kept to a minimum, as the waveguide rubber jacket may
become more susceptible to ozone and general environmental attack. Always
use the waveguide hangers; two hangers should be used for the 900mm (3ft)
flexible waveguide.
x
Bend radius: When handling a flexible waveguide, pay attention to the
minimum bend radius specified in
4-23.
x
Static bend radius: When installing a flexible waveguide, pay attention to
the static bend radius (quoted in the waveguide manufacturer's data sheet).
Static bend radius is the minimum bend that an assembly may be subject to
without repeat movement (except as a consequence of small vibrations or
axial expansions).
For a standard remote mount installation, perform the following procedures:
x
Mounting ODU on pole using remote mount kit (RMK)
x
Mounting antenna and flexible waveguide

Inventory and tools
The antenna and ODU installation must meet the requirements defined in
Grounding and lightning protection
To avoid damage to the waveguide, do not unpack it until required.
When unpacked, protect the waveguide from dirt, dust or ingress of
foreign objects.
Check that the waveguide, antenna and remote mount kit have
compatible interfaces.
Flexible waveguides may be damaged if subjected to excessive vibration
or excessive bending.
