tension or operator mistakes.
The sequence of cable cutting and installation of the cable workflow can be
changed depending on the field situation such as cutting after installing or
installing after cutting.
The cable must be placed in a location where the cable is not damaged by
external factors such as power line, flooding, and footpaths.
In areas where the cable may be damaged by external factors, ensure that
measures are taken to prevent damage to the cable, such as cable tray, ducts,
and flexible pipe.
Cable Cutting
Measure the exact distance after carefully checking the route, and cut the cable
using a cutting tool.
To cut the cable, follow these guidelines:
Cut the cable to the length determined in the Cable Path Inspection step.
Use a dedicated cable cutting tool.
Cut the cable at right angles.
Be careful to keep the cable away from moisture, iron, lead, dust, or other
foreign material when cutting.
Remove any foreign material attached to the cable using solvent and a brush.
Cable Installation
This process involves running the cable along the cabling path to the target
connector of the system or an auxiliary device. This is done after cable path
inspection and cable cutting are completed.
To install the cable, follow these guidelines:
Be careful not to damage the cable.
If the cable is damaged, cut out the damaged section before installing, or
replace the cable.
Run the cable so that it is not tangled. In particular, when installing the cable
from a horizontal section to a vertical section, be careful not to reverse the
upper and lower lines of the cable.
Always use the maximum curvature radius possible, and ensure that the
minimum curvature radius specification is complied with.
If the cable needs to be protected, use suitable protective cover such as PVC
channel, spiral sleeve, flexible pipe, and cable rack.
Install the DC power cable and the data transmission cable away from the AC
power cable to prevent electromagnetic induction.
The following table outlines the recommended minimum allowed cable bend
radius for different types of cables.
If the allowed cable bend radius is specified by the manufacturer, comply with the bend radius specified.
- OD: Outer Diameter
Connector Attachment
This process involves assembling a connector to an installed cable or to a device
on the site.
Follow these guidelines when attaching the connector.
Ensure operator is fully aware of the connector assembly method before
assembling the connector. Assemble the connector in accordance with its pin
map.
Each connector has a hook to prevent its core positions from being changed.
Check the corresponding grooves before connecting the connector to another
connector.
Use a weather proof tape at the connector connection for cables that are
installed outdoor, such as feeder lines, to prevent water leakage and corrosion
from occurring at the part exposed to the outside.
Connect each cable of the connector assembly in a straight line.
Be careful when connecting the cable so that contact failure does not occur at
the connector connection due to tension.
Cable Binding
This process involves fixing and arranging an installed cable using binding thread,
cable ties, binding wire, and ram clamps.
Follow these guidelines when binding a cable.
Be careful not to damage the cable during binding.
Use proper cable binding tools according to the target location (indoor or
outdoor) and the type of the cable (power supply cable, optical cable, or feeder
line).
Ensure the cutting sections of the cable tie and the binding line are not exposed
to the outside. This may cause damage to the cables or personal injury.
Cut off the remainder of the cable thread by leaving about 50 mm of extra
length to prevent the knot from easily getting untied.
If there is a chance of contact-failure to occur in the connector connection due
to tension, bind the cable at the closest location to the connector.
When connecting the cables, always connect the ground cable first. If a worker
contacts the equipment, connects a cable, or performs maintenance without
connecting the ground cable, the system can be damaged or the worker may be
injured due to static electricity and short circuit.
When performing cable work for the system, proceed with the ground work before
any other work to prevent errors occurring due to static electricity and other
reasons.
When installing, ensure not to overlap or tangle the cables. In addition, consider
future expansion. Install the DC power cable and the data transmission cable away
from the AC power cable to prevent electromagnetic induction.
Ensure the work is done by personnel properly trained for the cabling job.

Grounding
To comply with UL 60950 or 62368, the equipment must be connected to a safety
grounding point via a permanent link. Grounding points are located on the product
for this purpose. Always connect the ground cable before fitting other cables. The
product must remain grounded continuously unless all connections to the power
supply and data network are all removed.
If equipment is grounded through a cabinet or rack, make sure it is done so
properly.
Connect the ground cable first. In cabling, the connection of cables without the
connection to the ground cable may cause damage of the equipment or bodily
injury to personnel.
The purposes of the ground construction are as follows:
To prevent human life and the system from over-current, over-voltage, and
lightning.
To provide a discharge path for surge voltage generated by lightning and
power switch.
To protect the system from static electricity.
To eliminate or minimize the high-frequency potential in the system housing.
To provide a conductor for the balance and stability of high-frequency current.
To stabilize the potential of the circuit against the ground.
For the pressure terminals of the cable, the UL listed products or equivalent must
be used.

Power
Since power is applied to the system where the power cable is connected by
manipulating the circuit breaker of the rectifier, ensure to check the rectifier
breaker is turned off (open) before connecting the power cable to the power
connector. If the system is installed while the circuit breaker is on, the worker may
get critically injured if the cable is connected in the wrong way.
Handling the power cable incorrectly may damage the rack or cause an electric
short-circuit through the cable. Ensure the power switch of the rectifier or the
system is turned off before handling the power.
The fasteners for power cable must be tightly secured to prevent electrical
accidents.
Install the power cable to the power port of the system by considering the radius of
curvature of its cable specification and then cut the cable. If the operator installs
the cable after cutting, there may be length difference among the core wires at the
end of the cable because of cable curvature. This may result in poor contact after
the cable is connected to the power port.
If you turn the power on and off rapidly (within 1 s), the counter electromotive
force caused by cable inductance can damage the system.
Connecting more than one power cable together may increase power loss.
It must be verified that the rectifier or the power distributor has an output voltage
within the specified system input range before the power line is connected.
Install a circuit breaker to a power distributor for the stable power. The capacity of
the circuit breaker is AC 10 A, DC 16 A. (Use UL listed circuit breakers.)

To satisfy the GPS specifications and operate the GPS antenna in a stable manner,
the following GPS antenna configuration and installation requirements must be
met.
Requirements
To satisfy the GPS specifications and operate the GPS antenna in a stable manner,
the following GPS antenna configuration and installation requirements must be
met:
The GPS antenna must be installed in a location where it has the maximum
amount of open sky. The ideal position is one where there are no obstacles that
interfere with the antenna within 10 degrees or more of the horizon (the
Elevation Angle). This allows the GPS receiver to select the best combination
or distribution of GPS satellites which gives optimal performance.
The GPS antenna installation location must avoid the following:
o The effect of any obstacle or building that interferes with the reception of
GPS signals or causes multi-path.
o The interference of RF signal that is transmitted/received at any
surrounding RF antenna (including steel-Columned structure for RF
antenna) or microwave signal.
o Any damage from lightning within the coverage area of a lightning rod.
To ensure the GPS receiver works properly, it is recommended you install one
GPS antenna per GPS receiver. It is also recommended that you do not use a
GPS-specific splitter unless absolutely necessary.
For the GPS receiver to operate at its best, there must always be six GPS
satellites with a healthy status, that is, there is no obstacle directly between it
and the GPS antenna.
When installing the GPS antenna using a steel cylinder structure shared by
other RF antennas, it must be separated by more than 1~1.5 m from that steel
structure.
The GPS antenna must be installed in a place lower than the lightning rod and
RF antenna, and must not be installed within a steel tower to avoid lightning
current flows into the GPS antenna.
When you install the antenna, the antenna must be within the protective angle
(left/right side 45° each from the central axis) of the lightning rod to protect
the antenna from lightning damage.
Towards
Equator
Lightening Arrestor
A lightning arrestor is required when there is a danger of lightning striking a cable
or related part. The lightning arrestor must be installed in a place where the
antenna cable or set of combined cables enters a building or station, or a place
inside the building or station. The purpose of this is to protect the people and
equipment inside the building or station.
A lightning arrestor must be grounded to the earth separately with lightning
protection grounding in order to work properly.
If struck directly by lightning, the lightning arrestor, antenna, or cable must be
replaced. Furthermore, you must inspect the lightening arrestor periodically, and
replace the antenna and cable periodically to ensure protection if lightning occurs
frequently at the site.
The lightning arrestor must be well grounded so that it can transmit a large current
quickly.
Interference Signal
The GPS system is designed so that it has a strong immunity to noise and can
endure interference.
The Samsung GPS receiver provides a quality timing clock in most installations.
However, to ensure that the GPS receiver performs locking successfully and
guarantees uninterrupted timing performance, an interference-free environment is
required for frequencies near the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ± 1 MHz).
Interference Types
There are two types of interference which affect the GPS L1 frequency.
Narrow band (inband) interference: When a frequency deviation (3.5 kHz),
such as an FM wave, inflows around the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz).
Narrow band interference is monitored by the spectrum analyzer. But because
it has a time lag, a locking failure or a different type of alarm can occur.
Wideband interference: When frequency deviation is more than 7 kHz around
the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz).
Wideband interference includes the interference induced by the harmonics
from a communication service with a different frequency bandwidth, increased
thermal noise from communication services around the L1 band, inflow of
interference due to unauthorized communication, saturation due to oscillation
of an accessory device, and so on.
You cannot monitor these kinds of interference with a device such as a
spectrum analyzer. If the system has a wideband interference problem, you
should consult an expert in this area.
For bandwidths other than the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 ± 1 MHz), a GPS Band
Pass Filter (BPF) must be included within the GPS antenna to remove the
interference from the GPS bandwidth. No outband interference must affect the
GPS signals.
Avoiding Interference
If more than one antenna for other communications is installed in the surrounding
area, such as an antenna for a base station or satellite communication, the GPS
antenna must be installed in a location where no interference signals flow.
If interference exists within the GPS L1 frequency bandwidths (1575.42 ± 1
MHz), use a band pass filter (BPF) to prevent interference from affecting the GPS
bandwidth.
Furthermore, if the GPS antenna is installed by a transmitter which operates with a
bandwidth similar to the GPS L1 frequency, the possibility of interference
increases (in this case, interference is caused by harmonics). If the GPS antenna
has a problem due to interference, move it to a different location where
interference signals can be avoided or minimized.
Inband noise includes narrow band noise and wide band noise that occur in an
inband width. (L1, 1575.42 ± 1 MHz)
Narrow band noise in an inband width: If it is higher than 108 dBm, it can
affect the operation of the GPS receiver.
Wideband noise in an inband width: It may not be detected by a measuring
instrument and may impair the sensitivity of the GPS receiver, and thus affect
its operation.
If there is an outband interference problem, reduce the effects of interference on
the GPS receiver by applying one or more L1 GPS BPFs.
The filter should be installed at the following locations:
The input connector of the Samsung GPS receiver
Behind the antenna or the front end of a line amplifier
These filters are used to reject jamming tones for outband signals. If interferences
occur in the inband signals, they will result in serious consequences.
Install a concrete block that satisfies the specification regarding size and strength.
When installing the concrete block, and before forming the concrete, arrange steel
reinforcement bars in a mesh layout at 100 mm intervals. (Use either an anchor
bolt assembly or a concrete anchor.)
Install the antenna within the protective angle (left/right side 45° each from the
central axis) to protect the antenna from lightning damage.

Introduction
When connecting an optical cable to the system, the performance of the system
can be decreased or failures can occur if the core section of an optical connector is
dirty due to dust or foreign material. Therefore, the operator should clean the
optical connector before connecting the optical cable to the system.
When using the optical connector cleaner, use the products listed in the following
example or their equivalents.

The torque values can be different, defending on the material, characteristic, and
specification of the equipment and fastener. Ensure that you check the proper
torque value for each specification of the equipment and the fastener.
