AZALEA MSR4K44S INSTALLATION GUIDE Installation Preparation Site Survey site surveyis is the key step in wireless network project, which is decisive to the reasonablity of system design and the smooth implementation of deployment. Site survey tools The site survey tools should be prepared and checked before departure, the tools...
Site survey engineer should conduct detail measurements according to the plan, the measurements and records include site location information, antenna selection, MSR4K44S mounting position etc. Site survey report is suugested to prepared after all site survey works finished. Eye measurement: building information, terrain information Eye measurement is to verify there are any obstacle and reflection in wave propagation environment and terrain informing, such as building, trees, etc.
40-60mm; Grounding is prepared already; Check the distance between MSR4K44S and Grounding point; If cabling need to go through wall or ceiling; Special installation material or tools are needed or not.
Height of antenna installation: The antennas height can be different even for antennas connected to same MSR4K44S. It would be determined by the space of installation, or by design requirement; The antenna height for access could be 20 meters in open and flat area of city. It could be 30 meters in open area in rural flat area;...
AZALEA MSR4K44S INSTALLATION GUIDE Installation of directional antenna Assembling of installation accessories Installation accessories of directional antenna includes: directional antenna Antenna up-bracket (length adjustable) Antenna down-bracket U-bolt Nuts to connect antenna and bracket Tools of antenna installation Screwdriver (crosspoint head)

AZALEA MSR4K44S INSTALLATION GUIDE Antenna Installation Tools: Spanners size 10 1. The height of antenna must follow the requirement in desgin documentation ( enough isolation should be secured between antennas, vertical isolution is much better than horizental isolation); 2. Put antenna to pole by U-bolt, start from upper U-bolt then down one;...
The installation should be done by experienced antenna installer. Power line and high electric field must be avoided. Don’t stand on side of antenna of MSR4K44S when MSR4K44S is operating, there are strong electromagnetic field surrounding the antenna Don’t do any installation works during raining time.
1. use long bolts to fasten the pipe holder and bracket to the mast 2. use 2 MSR4K44S fastening bolts to mount the MSR box to the bracket 3. use the 4 shied bolts to mount solar shield to MSR400 And MSR4K44S could also be mounted on horizon pole by mounting bracket equipped.
5. Connect the other side of grounding wire with grounding bar; 6. Daub butter on both side of grounding wire Never skip grounding in the MSR4K44S installation, and it must be finished before powering up MSR4K44S.The residence of grounding wire must be less than 5 ohm. Assembling Solar Shield Secure screws through the holes on the corner of shield to MSR4K44S.
AZALEA MSR4K44S INSTALLATION GUIDE Lightning Protection Installation The lightning protector is to protect MSR4K44S to avoid damage by burst high current from lightning. Lightning protector should be installed between radio port and antenna feeder, and the lightning protector should be connected with lightning system of the building .
AZALEA MSR4K44S INSTALLATION GUIDE Feeder Installation Feeder is used to connect antenna with MSR4K44S. Due to the high propagation loss for high frequency waves , the feeder must be as short as possible to get minimum loss of signal strength. If long feeder must to be used, higher diameter feeder is recommended.
3. Water proof the connection by wiring insulation Adhesive Tape and PVC insulation type; Power Cord Installation MSR4K44S use 110-220V AC as power, the power interface is on the left bottom of MSR4K44S. Power cable should be the last step of installation. Tools: Diagonal Pliers,paper knife The procedure of power cable installation: 1....
AZALEA MSR4K44S INSTALLATION GUIDE Administrating the MSR4K44S There are two methods of performing the quick start configuration: using the Quick Setup Wizard provided by MSR series’ Web-based Management Interface (WMI), or using the setup command of the router’s Command Line Interface (CLI). Azalea recommends using the Quick Setup Wizard which is accessible from most modern internet browsers such as Internet Explorer.
