Bird Technologies Group 25999 Manual De Usuario

The following sections discuss general consider-
ations for installing the booster. All work should be
performed by qualified personal in accordance with
local codes.

The layout of the signal distribution system will be
the prime factor in determining the mounting loca-
tion of the booster. However, safety and service-
ability are also key considerations. The unit should
be located where it cannot be tampered with by the
general public, yet is easily accessible to service
personnel. Also consider the weight of the unit and
the possibility for injury if the unit should become
detached from its mounting surfaces for any rea-
son.

Although signal boosters can operate for years
without being attended to, the unit will need to be
accessed by service personnel with troubleshoot-
ing equipment, such as digital multimeters and
spectrum analyzer or a laptop computer from time
to time. The location of the power source will also
have a bearing on the mounting location. SBII+
uses external heat sinks and needs to be mounted
where there can be an unobstructed air flow over
the heat sinks fins. The SBII+ cabinet will stay
warm during normal operation so in the interest of
equipment longevity, avoid locations that carry hot
exhaust air or are continually hot.

Figure 2 shows the mounting scheme for the cabi-
net. Brackets are attached to the sides of the cabi-
net and the unit is then mounted to the wall using
3/8” (10 mm) diameter steel bolts (not supplied).
We recommend flat washers and a lock washer
under the head of the bolt. Nut and bolt mounting is
preferred to the use of lag bolts whenever possible.
Use backer blocks where necessary to spread the
force over a larger surface area. In areas of known
seismic activity, additional devices such as tether
lines may be necessary. The mounting hole dimen-
sions of the mounting brackets are shown in Fig-
ure 3.

Because Bird Technologies cannot anticipate all
the possible mounting locations and structure
types where these devices will be located, we rec-
ommend consulting local building inspectors, engi-
neering consultants or architects for advice on how
to properly mount objects of this type, size and
weight in your particular situation. It is the cus-
tomer’s responsibility to make sure these devices
are mounted safely and in compliance with local
building codes.

All cabling connections to the booster should be
made and checked for correctness prior to power-
ing up the system. Connections are made through
conduit por ts on the bottom of the cabinet as
shown in Figure 4.
