3. Installation Unpacking Before opening the box, make sure the package is in good condition, undamaged and not wet. During the unpacking, avoid potential damaging impacts from hits or excessive force. Once unpacked, check whether the quantity is consistent with the packing list. Installation Procedure Figure 3-1 provides an overview of the installation process. - Page 17 Assemble the pole mount part and fix it on the pole. Note that the height must satisfy the requirement described above. The screw hole a is used to assemble and fix the two components of the bracket, and the screw hole b is used to adjust the angle of the eNB, which helps the eNB to receive signals better.

Figure 3-3 Pole Grounding The installation position of the grounding bar shall meet the design requirements. The holding pole and tower body must be connected to the lightning protection network or grounded with a separate lead. The diameter of the grounding wire meets the design requirements. The copper nose must be used for grounding, and the grounding resistance is required to be less than 10 ohms. - Page 24 downward direction of the feeder, never upward. The grounding electrode of the self-built grounding grid for the outdoor antenna of the tunnel must meet the design requirements. The buried depth of the grounding electrode and the welding quality of the flat iron meet the specification requirements. In principle, the buried depth of the grounding electrode shall not be less than 0.7m.
