3.1.6 Power
Ensure that a DC power source is available that can supply full power requirements for
both the MC-Series system cabinet and all ancillary equipment for the installation. This
power source may be a bulk DC power source, an internally mounted DC powerplant, or
an external DC powerplant. For internal or external DC powerplants, backup batteries
may or may not be required, depending on whether or not the powerplant is driven from
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Refer to Sprint Nextel standards for DC power
design.

Any installation of AC power conductors shall be done by a licensed, bonded and insured
electrician. Follow standard Sprint Nextel design practices for AC and DC power circuits
including any required AC surge protection. Identify any contract labor and materials
required.

3.1.7 Grounding
The MC-Series system cabinet must be grounded to either a defined equipment
grounding system in a Sprint Nextel facility or to the building grounding electrode in a
customer facility. Plan to install a grounding system for the MC-Series system cabinet and
ancillary hardware. Refer to Chapter 7 and Appendix C of Motorola R56, as modified by
Sprint Nextel, for grounding standards. The Master Ground Bar (MGB) will be installed on
the wall on the telco board. Plan to use termination lugs. Type is Panduit 2-hole, P/N
LCD6-14A, or equivalent. Required crimp tool is CT-1700.

3.1.8 GPS Antennas
Refer to the Motorola Gen 3 Site Controller System Manual, 68P80801E30-O document
and Sprint Nextel standards for GPS antenna design and installation. Per the NEC (1)
any cabling run through an air plenum shall be plenum-rated, and (2) cabling is not to be
laid on or suspended from any ceiling grid or attached to the grid supports. Identify any
contract labor and materials required.

3.1.9 T1 Service
Install T1 cabling from the point of demarcation to the MC-Series system cabinet, and
provide UL497B surge protection for the T1 circuit involved. Use standard Sprint Nextel-
approved surge arrestors for the T1 circuit. Per the NEC (1) any cabling run through an
air plenum shall be plenum-rated, and (2) cabling is not to be laid on or suspended from
any ceiling grid or attached to the grid supports. Identify any contract labor and materials
required to extend the T1 service from the demarcation point to the MC-Series system
cabinet. For ease of maintenance, RadioFrame Networks recommends locating the
demarcation point (SmartJack) in the same space as the MC-Series system cabinet.
