Preparing for configuration and alignment
This section describes the checks to be performed before proceeding with unit configuration
and antenna alignment.
Safety precautions
All national and local safety standards must
be followed while configuring the units and
aligning the antennas.
Warning
Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to
radiate RF energy as soon as they are powered up. Respect the safety standards
defined in
Compliance with safety standards
, in particular the minimum
separation distances.
Observe the following guidelines:
•
Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered.
•
Always power down the PSU before connecting or disconnecting the drop cable
from the PSU or ODU.
Regulatory compliance
All applicable radio regulations must
be followed while configuring the units and aligning the
antennas. For more information, refer to
Compliance with radio regulations
Caution
If the system designer has provided a list of channels to be barred for TDWR radar
avoidance, the affected channels must be barred before the units are allowed to
radiate on site, otherwise the regulations will be infringed.
Attention
Si le concepteur du système a fourni une liste de canaux à interdire pour éviter les
radars TDWR, les cannaux concernées doivent être interdits avant que les unités sont
autorisées à émettre sur le site, sinon la réglementation peut être enfreinte.
Selecting configuration options
Use the installation report to determine which configuration options are required. Refer to
