Engineering Preparations and

Unpacking Check
:-Checking installation conditions-1
.a-position of dish on tower(height and azimuth)
. b- IF cables route on tower and the roxtec and inside indoor room
c- Position of IDU inside indoor room(if rack exist or we will install
.
new rack)
.d-Check power source
. e-Check earth system
.f-Air conditions quality

. g-Equipment secure

Engineering Preparations and

Unpacking Check

Unpacking the equipments and check if-2

they match the design or not

Before starting work we have to check Delivery carefully and ensure

that all
equipments matching the link budget, we should check
:
the following
.a-The Antenna (Two Antennas must have the same band)
b-Bracket and site arm (check compatibility with Dish diameter)
c-ODU (Checking Band and Sub-Band and ensure that link budget
.frequency
within ODU range)
d-The Indoor equipment (Rack, RTN, RTN Boards, Rectifier, Batteries)
.e-RF Cable and its Accessories

:-Caution
Outdoor installation of microwave equipment
involves working at heights. Ensure the
. safety of the team

Installing The Antenna on the tower on the

required Height as mentioned in the link
budget .We have to choose the suitable
position carefully especially for big dishes
(1.2m or bigger) and ensure that the dish
support with right angle

Check the azimuth of the antenna using

.compass or GPS

Also verify polarization and type of the

. antenna as mentioned in the link budget

Hoisting the antenna

:-Caution
Ensure no people below the iron
tower when installing and
commissioning outdoor
.equipment

For a large size antenna ,two

pulling ropes are required. And
bound to different points of the
hoisting rope to prevent the
antenna from rotating

The hoisting rope is used to hoist the

antenna ,and The pulling rope is used
to pull the antenna to prevent the
antenna from colliding with the iron
.tower

Fix the antenna to the pole. during

the fixing ,do not remove the
hoisting rope from the antenna

Note

:-

Antennas , hybrid couplers , and

ODUs must be hoisted separately.
hybrid couplers , and ODUs must
be separately installed after
.antenna installation
