7.2.2.7.2.1 Installing a Single RRU
This section describes the procedure and precautions for installing a single RRU on a pole.
Prerequisites
• Before you install an RRU on a pole secured on a tower, the RRU and its mounting kits are
hoisted onto the tower. For details, see Hoisting an RRU onto a Tower.
• The hoist clamp on the main bracket is secured properly.
NOTICE:
• Do not stand an RRU upright because the RF ports cannot support the weight of the RRU.
• Place a foam pad or cardboard under an RRU to protect the RRU housing from damage during
the installation.
Procedure
1. Determine a position for installing the mounting kits.
• If the RRU is installed on a tower, determine a position for installing the mounting kits
according to the instructions in Clearance for a Single RRU.
• If the RRU is installed on the ground, determine a position for installing the mounting kits
according to Figure 1.
Figure 1 Distance between the mounting kits and the ground
NOTE:
As shown in the figure above, it is recommended that the mounting kits be installed at a position 1200 mm
(47.24 in.) to 1600 mm (59.06 in.) high above the ground. If the space is insufficient, only the Installation
Clearance Requirements of an RRU needs to be provided.
