UL Information
- The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code
requirements.
- Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.
Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and national
codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-
standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct
lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury. Reasons
for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from
lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without passing
through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not prevent lightning
from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low
resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded
connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from
the building and equipment.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended
for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the
lightning/surge protectors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the
building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
- The circuit ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the eNodeB.
- Use shielded out CAT5e (minimum) cabled terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors.
- In order to protect the indoor unit, install surge protection circuits on all copper cables on their
entrance to the building.

6. Once the connector is properly installed, the cable should be positioned and secured to
minimize stress on the cable.
Note: Airspan recommends using the Finisar - FTLF1318P3BTL 1000BASE-LX which has
been tested and approved by Airspan. Available from Airspan if required.
1. Remove the protective dust cap from the connector housing assembled on the unit.
2. Line up the SFP transceiver module with the port and slide it into the port.
3. Connect the cable connector onto the board connector.
4. Verify that the locking latch on the cable connector is engaged on the board connector.
5. Slide the inner housing and ground shield (if present) over the cable and over the
molding.
Note: Check that there no space between the inner housing and mounting flange. Check and
remove any debris that might interfere with the connection.
6. Slide the outer shell over the inner housing and turn the outer bayonet shell 1/4 turn
clockwise, until it clicks into place.
Note: The shell should be hand tightened only. Do NOT use tools to tighten the shell.
Once the connector is properly installed, the cable should be positioned and secured to minimize
stress on the cable and connector.
Tip: It is good practice to label both ends of the cable to identify which AirHarmony-4000
DC unit it is connected to.
Tip: It is good practice to leave a spare loop of cable (approximately 0.5m). This will allow
for easier wiring and will allow the cable to be re-terminated if necessary in the future.
The power cable is connected to the AirHarmony-4000 DC connector (marked PWR) on the bottom
panel of the unit.
Note: When securing the cable make sure there is no tension on the connector so that it is easy to
disconnect and re-connect for future maintenance actions.
Caution: The internal plastic parts of the mating connector are keyed. Take care to align these by
visual inspection or by gently rotating the connector body until the key way sections align and the
pins go in before tightening the locking ring.
9. Position the pins correctly, the connector is secured to the unit with a locking ring that is
screwed into place. Use firm hand pressure only, the connector has a built in sealing ring.
