Page 36 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Pass the hex bolt (6) through the copper lug at the end of the grounding wire (4), and secure it to the grounding bar using the flat washer (7), the spring washer (8), and the nut (9). Use conductive grease (11) on the bolt and nut to ensure proper contact.
Page 37: Power Source
Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Power Source When selecting a power source, the following must be considered: DC power can be from -40.5 to -59 VDC. Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source), battery backup, and emergency power generator. The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides. Caution! The user power supply GND must be connected to the positive pole in the RFU-D-HP power supply.
Page 38: Surge Protection
Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Surge Protection RFU-D-HP includes built-in surge protection for its power and RJ-45 data ports (PWR, P1, P4). RFU-D-HP’s surge protection implementation for this port complies with EN61000-4-5, Class 4 , provided the cable was prepared according to the instructions in Connecting a CAT-5e/CAT-6 Data Cable on page 55. In areas in which severe lighting conditions are likely to occur, it is strongly recommended to add additional protection by placing lightning protectors on the CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable, near the connection point with the RFU-D-HP unit.

Page 43: Special Instructions For Use Of Glands
Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Special Instructions for use of Glands Note Each RFU-D-HP unit is supplied with one gland. If additional glands are required, they must be ordered separately, in kits of five glands each. Table 15: Glands Kit Description N000082L014A PTP 820 Glands_x5_KIT In addition, gland caps can be ordered to protect the cable and connector from damage when elevating the cable and...
Page 44 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Slide the gland cap into the cable. Slide the gland rubber into the cable. Slide the cable into the body of the gland. If you are using a gland cap (see Step 5), make sure to leave enough space for the gland cap to fit into the gland without disturbing the cable.
Page 45 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Optionally, after securing the cable into the body of the gland, you can close the other side of the gland with an M28 gland cap. The gland cap protects the cable and connector from damage when elevating the cable and gland to the radio unit.
Page 46 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Important Note! Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit. Tightening the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent proper sealing of the interface. 10 Insert the main part of the gland into the thread in the radio body and tighten until there is full contact and the gasket is fully contained between the gland and the radio and cannot be seen.

Page 48: Connecting An Optical Fiber Cable And Sfp
Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Connecting an Optical Fiber Cable and SFP When using an optical fiber cable, the cable must be inserted in port P2. A separate DC power cable must be used to connect the RFU-D-HP to an external power source. See Connecting a DC Power Cable. To connect an optical fiber cable and the SFP transceiver: Use a pre-assembled cable.
Page 49 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Insert the fibers with the connectors one by one into the cable gland. Secure the cable to the lip of the gland using a tie wrap. Important Note! If you are raising the cable to a radio unit on a tower, this step is crucial to prevent the cable from slipping from the gland, which could damage the connector.
Page 50 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Connect the fibers to the SFP transceiver. Listen for the “click” to ensure that they are fully inserted. Remove the tie wrap securing the cable to the gland. Note: A new tie wrap must be used to secure the cable to the gland at the end of the procedure, as described in Step 13.
Page 51 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP 10 Connect the connector into the RFU-D-HP connector. 11 Tighten the gland to the radio unit until there is full contact between the gland and the radio unit. 12 Tighten the gland cap. Important Note! Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit.

Page 53: Connecting A Dc Power Cable
Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Connecting a DC Power Cable A DC power cable must be connected to port P1 to provide power from an external power source to the RFU. To connect a DC power cable: Strip off 45 mm from the cable jacket. Expose 10 mm at the edge of each of the two wires.
Page 54 Installation Guide for RFU-D-HP Plug the power cable with connector into the PWR port. Screw the gland into the radio unit Important Note! Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is even with the cover. Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance. If there is resistance, stop immediately and verify that the gland is not being inserted at an angle.
