3.1 Precautions for Material Receiving

When receiving devices from the warehouse, pay attention to the following:
 Check whether the devices have been stored in the warehouse for more than 12
months. If the storage time exceeds 12 months, return the devices to the factory for
inspection and repair.
 When receiving devices and accessories from the warehouse, check whether the
devices and accessories are complete based on the material check list.
 When receiving cables, make sure the power cables are long enough. Connecting
power cables in series is prohibited when the cable length is not enough. Connecting
power cables may cause potential safety problems.
 Before installing the ZXSDR R8872A, installation engineers should check the
installation environment and deliver an Environment Acceptance Report. Make sure
that the power supply is available and the installation site meets the installation
requirements.
 For devices stored in the warehouse, their packing should not be removed.
 A device with its packing removed must not be placed at anywhere that is exposed to
rain or water. It is recommended that the packing be removed before installation after
the device is transported to the site.

3.3 Precautions for Device Transport

 A device must be transported with the outer packing container to protect the device
from scratches.
 After the packing container is removed on site, the device must be protected when
you move or store it. For example, when a device is stored temporarily, cushioning
materials must be put under the bottom of the device to avoid direct contact with the
ground and surrounding objects.
 When you transport a device, cushioning materials such as foamed plastic and
paperboard must be used to protect the device from scratches. When you lift a
device up, the device must be dragged properly to avoid collision with other objects.
3.4 Installation Space Requirements

This procedure describes the requirements for the installation position and space of the
RRU, and provides the physical specifications of the RRU and its mounting parts.
The requirements for the installation space of a single RRU include the recommended
installation space requirements and the minimum installation space requirements.
 The recommended installation space of the RRU is the device installation space that
is recommended to be used by users to ensure proper operation, heat dissipation,
and sufficient operation and maintenance space of the device. If the installation
space is sufficient, the recommended installation space can be used.
 The minimum installation space of the RRU can ensure proper operation and heat
dissipation of the device, but cannot ensure sufficient operation and maintenance
space. If the installation space is very limited, the minimum installation space can be
used.
3-4 SJ-20141127113509-003 | 2019-10-29 (R1.1)

RRU Installation Position Requirements
1. The RRU is installed in the position described in the survey design diagram. Ensure
that the device is in the protective range of 45 degrees of the lightning rod. If the
RRU is installed in high mountain areas and lightning intensified areas with more
than 180 thunderstorm days per year, the device should be in the protective range of
30 degrees of the lightning rod.
2. If the RRU is installed on a pole, the pole should not be equipped with a lightning
rod. It is recommended that a separate lightning rod be equipped near the pole. If
the pole is equipped with a lightning rod, it is recommended that the lightning rod be
directly earthed separately.
3. If the RRU is installed on an outdoor wall, the distance between the device and the
grounding cable of the lightning rod should be larger than 1 m, and the distance
between the device and the lightning strip should be larger than 20 cm.
4. The RRU should be installed in a well-ventilated position and be kept out of direct
sunlight if possible (for example, a shady place is preferred). It cannot be installed at
the vent of an exhaust pipe or the place where rain water flows through (for example,
a rainshed).
5. If the RRU is installed near an antenna:
 The RRU can be installed at any vertical position on the back side of the antenna
or the antenna pole.
 The RRU can be installed at any position under the antenna with a vertical
distance of more than 40 cm from the bottom of the antenna.
 The RRU cannot be installed in the coverage of the main lobe of the antenna;
otherwise, the antenna radiation pattern may be affected, causing coverage
reduction or interference.

Cabling Requirements
No. Item Met or

Not
1 Power cables cannot be connected to each other, and no joints should exist in
one single power cable.
2 The surface of each cable must be clean and free of the construction marks. The
sheath insulation layer of the cable is not damaged or scratched.
3 Different types of cables must be routed separately and straight in clear directions
without crossing each other, and bound securely with proper tense. Ensure that
no cable is curved or slanted, or hanging in the air.
4 If laid outdoors, an outdoor cable should be routed along the floor and the cable
rack. If it is laid along a wall, it should be secured. Hanging in the air or bridge
connection is not allowed.
5 When signal cables, DC power cables, AC power cables, and feeders are routed
in parallel along a cable ladder, ensure that a spacing greater than 10 cm is
reserved between different types of cables.
6 Outdoor cables cannot be bound to or routed along a lightning strip. The outdoor
cables should be routed lower than the lightning strip below the lightning strip
and a spacing no less than 20 cm must be reserved between the cables and the
lightning strip.
7 If an outdoor cable (such as an outdoor DC cable, outdoor AC cable, outdoor

optical fiber cable, and feeder) is led into the equipment room from a position
higher than the lower edge of the feeder window, the cable must be specially bent
for waterproofing. The lowest point of the cable bend must be 10 cm to 15 cm
lower than the lower edge of the window. If the cable is led from a position lower
than the lower edge of the feeder window, it is not required to bend the cable for
waterproofing.
8 The outdoor part of an outdoor AC cable should be protected by a PVC pipe or

outdoor corrugated pipe.
9 Cable channels should be installed when outdoor cables are laid on the wall or
under the floor.
10 The layout of cables should not affect the heat dissipation of the BBU or the rack.
11 If a cable (such as a feeder and optical fiber cable) is bent, ensure that the
bending radius meets the minimum bending radius requirement, meaning that the
bending radius must be equal to or greater than 20 times that of the cable's outer
diameter.
SJ-20141127113509-003 | 2019-10-29 (R1.1) 8-3

No. Item Met or

Not
12 Excess antenna feeders should be coiled in S or 8 shape, and excess optic fiber
cable should be wrapped around a spool (for example, a spool near the RRU)
and properly secured.
13 Do not put any heavy cable on the routed outdoor optical cables. Keep the optical
cables away from sharp edges.
14 A feeder must be protected from any damage or sharp edges during cabling. If
the feeder has to be dragged horizontally, appropriate protective items should
be used, such as slide boards and wooden boards. If sharp edges cannot be
avoided during feeder dragging, protective measures must be taken and key
parts should be protected by a person if necessary.
Cable Bundling and Fixing Requirements
No. Item Met or

Not
1 A cable must be bound. Cables of the same type must be routed straight and
orderly close to each other. Both the horizontal difference and vertical difference
between two bundles of cables shall not exceed 5 mm.
2 If a bundle of cables are bent, cable ties must be used at both sides of the bend
to bind the cables to prevent broken cores caused by strong force at the bend.
3 Cable bends should be identically even and smooth. The minimum bending
radiuses of cables are as follows:
1. Feeders: ≥ 25 mm for super flexible 1/4" feeders, ≥ 80 mm for common 1/4"
feeders, ≥ 55 mm for super flexible 1/2" feeders, ≥ 125 mm for common 1/2"
feeders, ≥ 250 mm for 7/8" feeders, and ≥ 380 mm for common 5/4" feeders.
2. Digit trunk cables and Ethernet cables: ≥ 60 mm.
3. Outdoor optical fiber cables: more than 20 times the diameter of the outdoor
optical fiber cables.
4. Power cables and protective grounding cables: more than 5 times the cable
diameter.
4 The specifications of cable clips should be appropriate. The cable clips on the
same bundle of cables should be the same. Serial connection of cable clips
should be avoided. At most two cable clips can be used in series.
5 The cable ties must be at an even spacing with enough slack. The cable ties on a
bundle of cables routed in the same direction must face the same direction. When
the power cable is bound on the horizontal indoor cable tray, the maximum space
between cable clips must not exceed twice that of rail space of the cable tray.
When the power cable is bound on the vertical indoor cable tray, the power cable
8-4 SJ-20141127113509-003 | 2019-10-29 (R1.1)

No. Item Met or

Not
should be bound on each rail. When the power cable is laid indoors vertically and
there is no cable tray, the space between cable clips should range from 10 cm to
20 cm. The cable should be bundled evenly.
6 Outdoor cables routed along a cable ladder must be bound with cable ties or fixed
securely. If the cables are routed horizontally, the spacing between cable ties
cannot exceed 1 m. If the cables are routed vertically, the spacing between cable
ties cannot exceed 0.8 m.
7 The excess tail of each cable tie must be cut off after the cable tie is fastened.
For an indoor cable tie, all the excess tail must be cut off with a smooth cutting
surface. For an outdoor cable tie, 3 mm tail must be reserved after the excess
tail is cut off. White cable ties are used for indoor cables. Black cable ties are
used for outdoor cables. Alternate use of white and black cable ties for indoor or
outdoor cables is not allowed.
8 Outdoor optical fiber cables and power cables should not be bundled too tightly;
otherwise, the cables constrict each other. Too high stress may cause cable
deformation and affect transmission performance, see Figure8-1 and Figure8-2.
9 Double or triple feeder fixing clamps should be used. Horizontally routed feeders
should be bound at a spacing no greater than 1.5 m. Vertically routed feeders
should be bound at a spacing no greater than 1 m. The fixing clamps should be
spaced evenly and in the same direction. They should be properly secured.
10 The jumpers of outdoor antennas should be secured reliably along the cross bar
of the tower or the pole to avoid excessive or frequent bending of the jumpers due
to wind.

 If the RRU is installed near an antenna:
1. A feeder is not earthed if the length of the feeder or jumper is less than 5
m.
2. A feeder is earthed on the RRU side if the feeder length is more than 5 m
but less than 20 m.
 If the RRU is installed outdoors and far away from the antenna (more than 20
m), and main feeder is used:
1. Connect the feeder to the ground on the RRU.
2. Connect the feeder to the ground on the antenna.
3. For the station whose feeder is laid on a tower, the feeder must be earthed
before leaving the tower. If the distance between the tower and the RRU is
less than 10 m, the feeder does not need to be earthed before leaving the
tower. If the length of the feeder on the tower is more than 10 m, the feeder
should be earthed midway through the length on the tower.
 If the RRU is installed indoors:
1. Connect the feeder to the ground before it is led into the feeder window of
the equipment room.
2. Connect the feeder to the ground on the antenna.
3. For the station whose feeder is laid on a tower, the feeder must be earthed
before leaving the tower. If the distance between the tower and the feeder
window is less than 10 m, the feeder does not need to be earthed before
leaving the tower. If the length of the feeder on the tower is more than 10
m, the feeder should be earthed midway through the length on the tower.
8 A feeder must be well earthed earthed to the grounding copper busbar or tower.
A free end is not allowed. For the tower without a grounding copper busbar, the
grounding terminal of the feeder and that of the tower-mounted amplifier can
be secured on the tower separately. Each fixing point of the grounding copper
busbar can only be connected to one grounding terminal. Before the connection,
the paint on the fixing point must be removed for reliable connection. After the
connection, the grounding point must be protected against rust.

4. Push the cold shrink tubing to the root of the RRU while pulling the tubing wire
around the cable spirally until the tubing is secured to the root of the connector. After
that, do not push the tubing, but pull all the tubing wires out in the arrow direction,
see Figure12-4.
Note
If the tubing or wires cannot be pushed or pulled smoothly, do not push or pull by
force. Turn the wires around the cable while pushing or pulling in the arrow direction.

12.2 "1+3+3" Waterproofing

"1+3+3" waterproofing means "one layer of insulating tape + three layers of waterproof
tape + three layers of anti-ultraviolet tape. "1+3+3" waterproofing is applied to the ANT
connectors and grounding kits of both ends of the antenna feeders.
Note
If the space between two feeder connectors is too small, the "1 + 3 + 3" process may fail
to be performed. In this case, you can use a "1 + 1 + 1" process, that is, wrapping one
layer of waterproof tape and one layer of anti-ultraviolet tape respectively.
Steps
1. Clean cable connectors and ensure that no dirt or oil stain exists on the connectors.
2. Wrap a layer of electric insulation tape.
After a cable connector is connected, wrap the connector with the insulation tape
downwards in the direction that the connector is tightened, with each round covering
half of the previous round, see Figure12-6. Ensure that the part about 10 mm to the
connector end is wrapped with the insulation tape. When wrapping the connector,
stretch the tape with proper force.
12-6 SJ-20141127113509-003 | 2019-10-29 (R1.1)

Figure12-6 Wrapping a Layer of Electric Insulation Tape
3. Wrap three layers of waterproof tape.

Extend the waterproof tape until its width is 50% to 75% of the original width.
Wrap three layers of waterproof tape in the direction that the connector is tightened
to prevent the connector from loosening. Wrap the connector upwards for the first
layer, downwards for the second layer, and then upwards again for the third layer,
with each round covering about one third of the previous round to prevent the ingress
of rainwater, see Figure12-7. Do not cut off the tape before the connector is fully
wrapped with three layers. Ensure that the part wrapped with the waterproof tape is
more than 20 mm in length.
After wrapping the connector with the waterproof tape, grip and pinch the wrapped
part repeatedly with both hands to make the waterproof tape securely stuck to the
cable and the cable connector.
Figure12-7 Wrapping Waterproof/Anti-Ultraviolet Tape
SJ-20141127113509-003 | 2019-10-29 (R1.1) 12-7

Note
The outermost layer of tape shall be applied from the bottom up to avoid water
penetration.
4. Wrap three layers of anti-ultraviolet tape.

Wrap the connector with three layers of anti-ultraviolet tape in the same direction of
wrapping waterproof tape, see Figure12-7. Pay attention to the following items when
wrapping a cable:
 The anti-ultraviolet tape should be stretched and wrapped with proper force to
prevent it from being stretched too much.
 The upper-layer tape covers 1/2 the bottom-layer tape in length.
 The wrapping length of the anti-ultraviolet tape must be 10 mm longer than that of
the waterproof tape. Wrap three layers.
After wrapping three layers, grip and pinch both the anti-ultraviolet tape and
waterproof tape to ensure that they are securely adhered.
5. Secure the tape's two ends.
After applying the tape, use black anti-ultraviolet ties to securely bundle the tape's
two ends, see Figure12-8. Use the diagonal pliers to cut off the excessive ties and
reserve a section of 3 mm at the mouth. This avoids tape expansion under high
temperature.

3. Wrap three layers of anti-ultraviolet tape from bottom up, from top down, and then
from bottom up again, see Figure12-10.
4. Bind both ends of the wrapped part with two black anti-ultraviolet ties to prevent
from degumming, see Figure12-11. Use a pair of diagonal piers to cut off the excess
length of the tape. Keep 3 mm left to prevent the tape from swelling in hot weather.

12.4 Waterproofing the Connector of the Remote Electrical

Tilt Antenna
The waterproof processing of the remote electrical tilt antenna is different from that of
the antenna feeder. On the RRU, no waterproofing is required for the AISG cable. On
the remote electrical tilt antenna side, different waterproofing is required for the two
ends of the RCU. The connector between the RCU and the remote electrical tilt antenna
is waterproofed with the "1+3+3" waterproofing method. The connectors between the
RCU and the AISG cable is waterproofed with two layers of anti-ultraviolet tape. This
procedure describes how to waterproof the connectors of the RCU.
Steps
1. Clean cable connectors and ensure that no dirt or oil stain exists on the connectors.
2. Wrap two layers of anti-ultraviolet tape.
Pay attention to the following items when wrapping the connectors of the remote
electrical tilt antenna with anti-ultraviolet tape:
 Wrap two layers of anti-ultraviolet tape in the direction that the connector is
tightened to prevent the connector from loosening.
 Wrap the connector upwards for the first layer, downwards for the second layer.
The outermost layer of tape shall be applied from the bottom up to avoid water
penetration.
 The anti-ultraviolet tape should be stretched and wrapped with proper force to
prevent it from being stretched too much.
 The upper-layer tape covers 1/2 the bottom-layer tape in length.
 The wrapping length of the anti-ultraviolet tape must be 10 mm longer than that of
the waterproof tape. Wrap three layers.
SJ-20141127113509-003 | 2019-10-29 (R1.1) 12-11

 After wrapping two layers, grip and pinch the anti-ultraviolet tape to ensure that it
is securely adhered.

1. Use a "1 + 3 + 3" process

2. Wrap two layers of anti-ultraviolet tape.
3. Secure the tape's two ends.

After applying the tape, use black anti-ultraviolet ties to securely bundle the tape's
two ends. Use the diagonal pliers to cut off the excessive ties and reserve a section
of 3 mm at the mouth. This avoids tape expansion under high temperature.
