About This Document This document is intended for personnel who will be installing the Baicells Nova452 Outdoor 4x40W eNB product. This Baicells equipment is based on 3GPP Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology. The product overview is followed by the procedures for properly installing.
100MHz(only for NR) bandwidth. Using a Nova452 in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the deployment of split sectors. In addition, HaloB (an embedded EPC option) is available on the Nova452 as part of the base software. The Baicells patented HaloB solution migrates the necessary core network functions to the eNB.
Highly secured with equipment certification against potential intrusion risk Supports TR-069 network management interface Lower power consumption, which reduces OPEX, can be powered easily by Baicells compact outdoor smart UPS Appearance The appearance of Nova452 is shown in Figure 1-1.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Warning This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
2. Installation Preparation Support Materials In addition to industry standard tools, you will need the materials described in Table 2-1 during the installation. Table 2-1 Supporting Materials Item Figure Description The diameter of power cable must be greater than AC cord AWG11 (such as AWG10) with three cores.
Item Figure Description AC Air switch, socket, power grounding point, broadband access is all in the distribution box, which Distribution must be waterproofed. NOTE: Other accessories have been packed in the packing box. Installation Tools The following standard tools may be needed during the installation. Level bar Marking pen Knife...
such as: safety helmet, safety belt, reflective clothing, gloves, and safety shoes, etc. 3. Before installation, the installation personnel must cross-check each other to ensure above preparations have done. Installation Environment 2.4.1 Location Requirements Avoid locations of warehouses and gas stations with flammable and explosive, and locations that fire and explosion are easy to happen during production.
often not good for the coverage of towns and villages in small basins. Avoid to install in the forest. If the eNB must be installed in such locations, the height of the eNB must be higher than the treetop. It is strictly prohibited to install the eNB in the mining area and places where is easy to be submerged by flood and landslide In urban area, for the macro eNB, the site should be selected that is higher than the average height of buildings but lower than the highest building.
Lightening & Grounding Protection You must protect the eNB and antenna 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.
Figure 3-2 GPS Installation Requirements No major blocking from buildings in the vicinity. Keep the rooftop buildings a distance away from the GPS. Make sure the space atop within 90 degrees (at least 45 degrees) is not blocked by any buildings. ...
NOTE: The eNB may adopt different models of GPS antenna, so the GPS antenna may not the same as above figure. But the installation steps that fix it on the eNB is the same. Install on Pole Check to ensure the diameter of the pole is in the range of 1.6 inches to 3.9 inches (40mm to 100mm).

Following will introduce how to fix the pre-assembled eNB on a pole. Take apart two clamps from the assembled bracket. Put the bracket against the pole and assemble two clamps back, note that the sequence of flat washers, spring washers and nuts keep the same with original. Fasten the pole bracket to ensure the bracket is firmly fixed on the pole.
The installation is complete, and proceed to “3.6 Connect Cable”. Install on Wall Take apart assembly bracket first, only remains the wall bracket, as shown in Figure 3-6. Figure 3-6 Wall Bracket Following will introduce how to fix the pre-assembled eNB on a wall. Put the wall bracket against the wall and mark two drilling locations with a marker pen.

Hang the wall bracket on expansion bolts, and fasten with flat washers, spring washers and nuts. Refer pole mount step to hang the eNB on the wall bracket.
RF power amplifier devices. Take off dust caps of the ANT0 to ANT3 interfaces. NOTE: The Nova452 can connect four antennas, the interface number is from ANT0 to ANT3. Insert RF cables into cold shrink tubes. Connect RF cables to the ANT0 to ANT3 interfaces on the eNB, and tighten them with wrench.
NOTE: The external antenna side interface at the other end of the feeder also needs waterproof treatment. Baicells does not provide the waterproof materials for this part, so customers need to prepare and carry out waterproof operation by themselves. NOTE: The RF antenna end also needs waterproof protection.
Before connecting the live and neutral cables, arrange the live and neutral cables separately using VE6012 terminals, as shown in Figure 3-8. The brown terminal is used for the positive terminal (+), and the blue terminal is used for the negative terminal (-).
Figure 3-9 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.
Prepare the grounding cable according to the actual measurements and requirements of the specific installation site. The Nova452 has two grounding screws located on the bottom of the unit (Figure 3-10). Follow the steps below the figure to connect the ground cable.
installation distance. It is suggested to carry out lightning protection of GPS antenna, add lightning protector, and connect the lightning protector to the grounding bar, as shown in Figure 3-11. Figure 3-11 GPS Grounding 3.6.6.4 (Optional) Power Adapter Grounding The adapter ground terminal is connected to the ground bar conforming to the local standard through the ground wire, as shown in Figure 3-12.

Table 1-2 in “1.3 Appearance”, check that the LED indicators are lighting as expected.
4. Attentions After the device is connected with the power line, the PWR of the device will not be displayed when it is powered on. 1) Maybe the power line is not connected well, and the contact is poor. 2) There is no power in the circuit. 3)...
3) Check whether the RF frequency band of the equipment is consistent with that of the antenna. 4) Check whether the dip angle planning of the base station is reasonable. 5) Whether there is blocking in antenna coverage direct vision.
