Installing Nodal Enclosures in a 19 Rack

Before you install the
enclosures
Plan carefully the required
space within the rack !
Should you need to install 3
enclosures prepare at least
10Us (6Us for enclosures + 2Us free
Main Enclosure

space for maneuvering above and below

shelves)

Start the installation process

from bottom to top, e.g. Main
enclosure should be installed
first at the bottom of your rack

Proprietary and Confidential

Grounding the IDU

The IDU is suitable for installation in a Common Bonding Network (CBN).
Only copper wire should be used.
The wire must be at least 14 AWG.
Connector and connection surfaces must be plated. Bare conductors must be
coated with antioxidant before crimp connections are made to the screws.
FibeAir provides a ground for each IDU, via a one-hole mounted lug onto a
single-point stud.
The stud must be installed using a UL-listed ring tongue terminal, and two star
washers for anti-rotation.

25

Lightning Protection
For antenna ports, lightning protection is used
that does not permit transients of a greater
magnitude than the following:
Open Circuit: 1.2-50us 600V
Short Circuit: 8-20us 300A
The ampacity of the conductor connecting the
IDU frame to the DC return conductor is equal to
or greater than, the ampacity of the associated DC return conductor.

26

Power General Requirements

1. A readily accessible Listed branch circuit over-current protective device,
rated 15 A, must be incorporated in the building wiring.
2. This equipment is designed to permit connection between the earthed
conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the
equipment.
3. The equipment shall be connected to a properly grounded supply system
4. The DC supply system is to be local, i.e. within the same premises as the
equipment
5. A disconnect device is not allowed in the grounded circuit between the DC
supply source and the frame/grounded circuit connection.

27

Proprietary and Confidential

Power Requirements
When selecting a power source, the following must be considered:
DC power can be from -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC.
Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source),
battery backup, and emergency power generator.
Whether or not the power source provides constant power (i.e., power is
secured on weekends or is shut off frequently and consistently).
The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides.
The user power supply GND must be connected to the positive pole in the IDU
power supply.
Any other connection may cause damage to the system!

Power Requirements
Important
Make sure to use a circuit breaker to protect the circuit from damage by
short or overload.

29

Dual DC Feed
In boards with dual DC feed hardware, the system will indicate whether received
voltage in each connector is above or below the threshold power (40.5v
approximately).
This will be shown in two ways:
1.The LED (and its WEB representation) will only be ON if the voltage is above
the threshold
2.If voltage is below the threshold an alarm will be raised
User may configure the system not to raise an alarm in case of under-voltage
for any of the supplies.
This is used for cases where the dual feed hardware is used, but in the
installation only one of them is actually connected, so that no alarm is
permanently raised.

Proprietary and Confidential

Installing the IDU-ODU IF cable

Route the IF Coax Cable from the IDU to the ODU/RFU and terminate it
with N-type male connectors.
Note: Make sure you fasten the cable along the ladder!
Make sure that the inner pin of the connector does not exceed the
edge of the connector.
The cable should have a maximum attenuation of 30 dB at 350 MHz.
