This section provides the procedures and information to verify that the site is ready for
equipment installation. It also provides procedures to ensure the safety of the installation
personnel, protect the equipment from damage, and verify the site layout parameters.
Installation
The site preparation depends on the type of installation and the site characteristics. The Base
Control Unit (BCU) cage and associated TRX cage(s) may be installed indoors or outdoors.
Indoor installations require the use of 19–inch rack (open style). Outdoor installations require a
weatherproof enclosure (GAP cabinets). The RF and GPS antennas are cabled from the GAP
equipment and are mounted outdoors.
Site Manager
The site manager is the person in charge of and is responsible for the full site.
Verication and Procedures
Verifications typically have the installer check with the site manager that a condition has been
previously checked or procedure previously performed and meets a stated specification.
Inspections typically have the installer personally checking that a condition or item meets
stated specifications.
The verifications and procedures provided in this chapter are:
•
Initial site inspections
•
Preparing site for the arrival of equipment
