For the safety of installation personnel and for the protection of the equipment from damage, please read all safety warnings. If you have any questions concerning the warnings, before installing or powering on the base station contact the Baicells support team. Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger.
5, 10, 15, or 20MHz bandwidth. Using a Nova442i in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the deployment of split sectors. In addition, HaloB (an embedded EPC option) is available on the Nova442i as part of the base software. The Baicells patented HaloB solution migrates the necessary core network functions to the eNB.
Inter operation with all standard LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) ú ú Supports TR-069 network management interface ú Lower power consumption, which reduces OPEX, can be powered easily by Baicells compact outdoor smart UPS Appearance The Nova442i eNB appearance is shown in Figure 1-1.

Interface Description Interface Description ETH/POE++ RJ-45 interface (GE), PoE++, complied with IEEE 802.3bt standard Used for power supply and data backhaul/maintenance. The Nova442i interface indicators are described in Table 1-2. Table 1-2 Nova442i LED Indicators Identity Color Status Description Steady On...
2. Installation Preparation Support Materials In addition to industry standard tools, you will need the materials described in Table 2-1 during the installation. When selecting an RF antenna, be sure to match the frequency range of the antenna with the eNB. Table 2-1 Support Materials Item Figure...
Percussion drill and hammer Cross screw Cable vice Tape measure some drill heads driver 5mm L-shape allen T7 screwdriver Ladder compass fixed pulley wrench head multimeter Installation Environmental Requirements In addition to network planning, when determining where to place the eNB you need to consider factors such as climate, hydrology, geology, the possibility of earthquakes, reliable electric power, and transportation access.
Lightening & Grounding Protection You must protect the eNB, antenna, and GPS against lightning. Following are guidelines concerning grounding. The yellow-green ground wire must be at least 10mm in diameter. In principle, always place the grounding as near as possible to the equipment. ...
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.

Put the assembled mounting bracket from the top of the pole. Adjust the position of clamps and fasten hex nuts. Put the eNB from up to down to the bottom, fasten with the M6 captive screws on both sides of the bracket. At last, install the lightning rod. Two installation directions are supported.
Connect Cable 3.4.1 Cable Laying Requirements General requirements: Bending radius of Ethernet cable and grounding cable: > tripled of the diameter of the cable. Bind the cables according the type of the cable, intertwining and crossing are forbidden. ...
Tighten the connector of the ETH/POE port in sequence. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the POE port of the PoE adaptor. Connect the LAN port of the PoE adaptor to a LAN switch or a router for maintenance and backhaul.

Figure 3-2 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.
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.
