Light weight/small but compact antennas and ODUs can be hand carried up a tower; larger Antennas and some ODUs must be winched into place and supported there while being attached to their mounting. The job should be entrusted to experienced and qualified riggers only. Persons climbing the tower should be in Good Health & under no medication. They shall use standard safety kits recommended for Tower climbing or working at heights. Similarly, hoist and winch equipment may need to be independently inspected and certified as being fit for purpose. Partner must take Utmost care and follow the procedures to ensure equipment being installed or existing equipment is not damaged, and that other working antennas are not affected. In particular:

a) b) c) d)

Use the manufacturers specifications to determine the correct rigging for hoisting an When working around and with waveguide, ensure that it is not dented or deformed Do not hoist equipment in front of existing (operational) antennas Wind loading on the antenna can make hoisting difficult and dangerous, especially when

antenna

winds are gusting. Install only when wind velocities are low and weather conditions are expected to remain stable. Following are the universal antenna sizes and the typical configurations of the radios which will implement for this project, the services pricing for the radios installation, commissioning and testing should be included in the bidding: For 1+0/1+1/HSB/SD radios: S.No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Antenna size 0.3 Mtrs 0.6 Mtrs 0.9 Mtrs 1.2 Mtrs 1.8 Mtrs 2.4 Mtrs 3.0 Mtrs 3.7 Mtrs

Fix it to the mounting pole on the tower or to the monopole on the rooftop, ready for Changing the mounting pole if required. The antenna should be on the proper position under the protection of lightning rod to avoid

any risk of lightning damage.

1.3 Installation of Microwave Radios and ancillary equipment (For 1+0 and 1+1 HSB/SD)
Ceragon Partner shall install the Microwave Radios at the associated sites. Scope shall include but shall not be limited to following:

Hybrid coupler, ODU installation and grounding on the tower IF cable routing, weather proofing and grounding, there are three points need to be

connected to the grounding bus bar for the outdoor section, i.e, top, middle, and bottom near the wall through entry

IDU installation and grounding With DDF installation at new/ sharing sites if required. Labeling E1 Patching and Routing Subcon need to clean the sites after finishing the I&C activities from the site The ODU must connect to the antenna in weather tight condition, gasket should properly seat in the groove to avoid any water seepage. The Grounding of ODU need to be done and connected below to the right bus bar on the tower or mounting pole. The IF cable which between ODU with IDU should be tied/ fixed neatly along the

tower . The IF cables should be grounded properly according to the equipment installation specification. IDU needs to be installed in the indoor rack or cabinet. The associated DDF should preferably be installed in the same rack/cabinet above the IDU just one space reserved between them for cabling through. The Ceragon Partner will install the DC power wiring and the grounding connection from the bar. Ceragon supplied equipment to the DC distribution panel and ground ring or bus

1.4 Hop Testing of Microwave Radios and ancillary equipment Power check The Ceragon Partner must check the power system before the power connectivity for DC voltage, polarity, earth potential, after ensuring the same only, Ceragon Partner will make the power connections, power on the microwave equipment and make safety observation. Configuration The Ceragon Partner will configure the microwave radios base on the design and engineering document, e.g. The configuration of Tx/Rx frequencies, Tx power, T/R spacing, cards adding, E1 traffic add/Drop locally, pass-through E1 cross connection, MRMC, etc. Antenna alignment The Ceragon Partner will do the antenna panning after completing all above activity and configuration. Antenna must be aligned to achieve the desired Receive Signal Level (RSL) as per the specification in the link Budget. After the fine tuning, the antennas must be fixed to against specific wind-load. Antenna alignment involves adjusting the direction of each antenna until the received signal strength reaches its highest level at each end of the link. The rigger should have direct access to a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) at the ODU. This is typically available via an RSSI connector as a voltage for measurement by a multi meter. Fine adjustment for azimuth (horizontal angle) and elevation (vertical angle) is built into each antenna mount. If the horizontal adjuster does not provide sufficient range to locate the main beam, the antenna mounting brackets will need to be loosened and the antenna swiveled on its pole mount to locate the beam. Before doing so ensure the horizontal adjuster is reset for mid-travel. For the XPIC links, the horizontal and Vertical of polarization need to be fine aligned to achieve exact cross polarization discrimination against the specification between both sites involved. Some mounts for larger antennas have a separately clamped swivel base (supporter) to allow the loosened antenna to swivel on it without fear of slippage down the pole. Where such a mount is not provided a temporary swivel clamp can often be provided using a pair of pipe brackets bolted together immediately below the antenna mount.

E1 or STM-1 performance test (BER TESTING) The Ceragon Partner will conduct the first testing and checking when all the above

items have been completed Partner shall use proper tools for punching E1 cable in the Krone block or Due care shall be taken for handling Fiber Patch cords.
