Heads
4 Before you start

Important precautions and initial information on installing RRH.
The installation pictures show how a Single RRH is set-up and configured.
g Note: Do not paint over the plastic cover as extra layers of paint can cause cooling
problems. Ensure the RRH solar shield or plastic cover is in the standard issue color for
guaranteed optimum performance.
Consider the following guidelines before installing the RRH module:
• The RRH module is designed to be installed in a vertical position.
• Up to three RRH Modules can be fitted onto one FPKA (excluding
FRIG/FRHE/FRHD/FHPC).
• Up to two RRH Modules can be installed onto one VMPB or FPKC. FPKC kits can be
expanded to support up to 6 RRHs.
• If an FMFA is already installed using a pole mounting kit, only one 2x40 W RRH
module can be installed using the same pole mounting kit.
• If two FMFAs are installed using a pole mounting kit, 2x40 W RRH cannot be
installed using the same pole mounting kit.
• A 2x60 W RRH can be installed next to FMFA on FPKA. Requires FMFA to be
installed on front face of FPKA.
• FPKA enables the FPAD/E to be installed behind the RRH when FPKC is connected.
The FPKC can only be mounted behind the RRH when the FPKC is connected to a
further FPKC. Expansion brackets need to be installed/fixed/ applied onto the side of
the FPKC in order to allow more than two RRHs to be mounted onto a pole.
• Up to one 2x60 W RRHs or one 4x40 W RRHs can be installed with one FMFA on
the same FPKA.
• Angle or straight lugs can be used for ground cabling.
• Optical cables can be straight or angled.
• Antenna cables must be rated IP65.
The TORX screw driver sizes required for RRH installation are T10 (DC cable clamp),
T45 (M8 grounding interface), and T25 (all M5 screws).
g Note: Do not install RRH modules inside an enclosed space without proper ventilation
or climate control, as the module is cooled by convection.
g Note: If RET is used, consider the length of the RET and the antenna jumper cables
and their physical path to the antenna tilt meter when choosing an installation location
on the pole. All cables connecting to the interfaces above the RRH should be routed
down below the RRH and then looped up to help prevent water ingress. The loop must
not exceed the minimum bending radius specified by the manufacturer.
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Optical fibers are sensitive and therefore must
be kept clear of contaminants which lower the mechanical strength of the optical fiber,
possibly dampening the transmission of the light in the fibers. Clean all optical fiber
connectors before installation using an optical fiber connector cleaning kit.

Heads
f CAUTION! Risk of personal injury.

When operating in hot environments the unit's surfaces might be very hot.
IEC/UL 60950-1 safety compliance requires installation in a restricted access location
so that the unit's hot surface cannot be touched unintentionally.
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Incorrect cables and seals do not offer
optimum protection against extreme weather conditions. Only use tested IP65 class
outdoor cables with seals provided by Nokia for outdoor installations.
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Overbending optical fiber cables can damage
the cables and can detach or damage the connectors. Do not exceed the minimum
bending radius of 70 mm (2.76 inches) for optical cables with a diameter 7 mm (0.28
inches) or 50 mm (1.97 inches) for optical cables with a diameter 5 mm (0.20 inches).
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Remote Radio Head uses convection cooling.
To avoid module overheating, cables should be routed so they do not block airflow
through the cooling fins. Never route cables between cooling fins.

Dimension guidelines for installations onto poles
RRH mounting kit brackets can be fixed to longer or shorter dimensions according to site
specifications. To install RRH mounting kit, see: Installing Flexi 2x40 W RRH on the pole
next to FMFA. The following illustrations provide guidelines for using these dimensions.
g Note: The minimum spacing (392.5 mm) is required only when installing the 2x60W
RRH onto the same pole kit or fixing rails as the legacy RRH with 392.5 mm vertical
spacing. Use 482.5 mm (19 in) or longer spacing when mounting the FPAD onto the
back of the RRH during FPKA installations.

These instructions show the installation and cabling procedure for the Release 4 Remote
Radio Heads onto a pole.
Purpose
This document describes RRH installation without FPAD/E. For FPAD/E installation
instructions, see Installing Flexi Multiradio Base Station and Flexi Multiradio 10 Base
Station Optional Items.
The lower mounting bracket interfaces and cable fixing plates are shown in the Figure
56: Lower mounting bracket of RRH Release 4.
The images in the following instruction show FRGY RRH module, but the installation
order applies to all Release 4 modules listed in the introduction.

The plastic cover is always required for Release 4 RRH during indoor and outdoor
operation for IEC/UL 60950-1 safety compliance.
The RRH Release 4 interfaces are shown in the following diagrams.

Optional Items Description.
There are three vertical spacing options allowed, shown in the Figure 57: Vertical
spacing options for the RRH Release 4:
Issue: 06A DN09185846 59

Heads
• 482.5 mm (19 in) - common with FMFA and all legacy RRH variants. Recommended
for all new pole or wall installations or co-siting with legacy modules using this
dimension.
• 532 mm (21 in) – recommended only for co-siting with legacy RRH variants using
this dimension.
• 392.5 mm (15 in) – modules with two antenna connectors only. Recommended for
co-siting with legacy RRH variants using this dimension. FPAC/D mounting on a
RRH is not supported by this dimension.
Figure 57 Vertical spacing options for the RRH Release 4
392.5mm 482.5mm 532mm
g Note: Avoid installing RRH modules inside enclosed spaces without proper ventilation
or climate control, as the modules are cooled by convection.
g Note: If RET is used, consider the length of the RET and the antenna jumper cables
and their physical path to the antenna tilt meter when choosing an installation location
on the pole. All cables connecting to the interfaces above the RRH must be routed
down below the RRH and then looped up to help prevent water ingress. The loop must
not exceed the minimum bending radius specified by the manufacturer.
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Optical fibers are sensitive and therefore must
be kept clear of contaminants which lower the mechanical strength of the optical fiber,
possibly dampening the transmission of the light in the fibers. Clean all optical fiber
connectors before installation using an optical fiber connector cleaning kit.
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Incorrect cables do not offer optimum
protection against extreme weather conditions. Only use tested IP65 class outdoor
cables with seals provided by Nokia for outdoor installations.
60 DN09185846 Issue: 06A

Heads
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Overbending the optical fiber cables can
damage the cables and can detach or damage the connectors. Do not exceed the
minimum bending radius of 70 mm (2.76 inches) for optical cables with a diameter 7
mm (0.28 inches) or 50 mm (1.97 inches) for optical cables with a diameter 5 mm (0.20
inches).
w NOTICE: Risk of damage to equipment. Remote Radio Head uses convection cooling.
To avoid module overheating, cables should be routed so they do not block airflow
through the cooling fins. Never route cables between cooling fins.
Release 4 RRH installation requires the following driver sizes. For a complete list of
required tools, see BTS installation tools and equipment.
Table 7 Installation tools
Required tool
Torque wrench capable of 10-30 Nm (7.4 - 22.1 ft-lb) with extensions
Torque screw driver capable of 0.8-5 Nm (7-44 in-lbs.)
TORX screw driver sizes are T10 (DC cable clamp), T45 for M8 ground screw (not required for
dual M5/NEBS ground screws), and T25 (M5 screws)
Hexagonal socket size is 13 mm (1/2 in)
Allen driver size for FPKA/C is 8 mm (5/16 in)
g Note: If you are expanding a FPKC beyond two kits, then a 6 mm (1/4 in) Allen screw
driver is required.

22 Installing first RRH with FPKC

These instructions show the installation procedure for the Remote Radio Heads using
FPKC Mounting Kit.
Purpose
Flexi Pole Mounting Kit is required for mounting modules on poles. FPKC is designed for
poles between 60 mm (2.36 in) and 300 mm (11.81 in) in diameter.
Two FPKC kits are required for the minimum installation, which allows to install two
RRHs on opposite sides of FPKC.
There is no need to use thread-locking compound or lock nuts when installing the FPKC.
Before you start

M10x315mm pole mount screw can be cut down to correct installation specific lengths
for pole installations in the field. There are four different lengths of the screw available
and four places for the screw in the FPKC. When attaching the FPKC to poles, use the
shortest possible bolts and the holes whose distance is the closest to the pole diameter.
For more details, see Screw cut locations, Screw installation slots, and Pole diameter
table related to cut location and installation slot for optimum pole mounting.
