Safety Precautions
Thunderstorms Handling of RTN 320 or mounting kits
Do not work with electrical current or work in elevated or exposed locations during a thunderstorm. Wear clean gloves when handling the RTN 320 or mounting kits.
Extreme weather conditions Corrosion
RTN 320 is usually installed outdoors. If weather conditions are extreme during an installation, personnel should Anti-corrosion measures are required if an RTN 320 is installed in a location that is prone to corrosion. Contact
follow the related local guidelines and regulations to safeguard personal health and safety.
the local Huawei office for details. A location is prone to corrosion if it is:
• Within 3.7 km of an ocean or a salt water lake
Elevated locations
• Within 3 km of a heavy pollution source, such as a smelting factory or coal mine
RTN 320 is usually installed in an elevated location, for example, on the rooftop of a building. For installation in • Within 2 km of a medium pollution source, such as a chemical, rubber, or electroplating plant
elevated locations, installation personnel must: • Within 1 km of a light pollution source, such as a food/leather processing plant or heating boiler
• Have the proper training and qualifications, and meet health requirements.
• Wear helmets, safety belts, and anti-slip footwear.
• Wear clothing and gloves appropriate to weather conditions. Local rules and regulations
• Work in teams of two or more.
• Test hoisting tools before use. If local rules and regulations require that anti-corrosion measures must be taken for ground connections,
• Avoid installation during extreme weather conditions, such as during thunderstorms, blizzards, or gales. comply with local rules and regulations.
In addition, all site visitors must wear helmets.
Microwave Unpacking
High-power radio frequency signals are harmful. Avoid exposure to transmission from the antennas of microwave To prevent water vapor from accumulating inside the device:
equipment that has the radiation warning symbol ( ). When you are installing or performing maintenance on an • After unpacking an RTN 320, power it on within 24 hours.
antenna located on a tower that has multiple antennas, avoid exposure to radiation from other antennas.
• Do not power off an RTN 320 for more than 24 hours during maintenance.
Lasers
Do not look into an optical port without eye protection.
High temperature
If the ambient temperature reaches 55°C, the surface temperature of an RTN 320 may exceed 70°C.
Therefore, wear protective gloves when handling the RTN 320. A high-temperature warning label ( ) is
attached to each RTN 320.
Moving and hoisting heavy objects

To move or hoist heavy objects, use appropriate equipment and adhere to the following guidelines:
• All personnel should wear helmets and protective clothes, gloves, and shoes.
• Move heavy objects along a flat obstacle-free path.
• Do not lift heavy objects by hand. Use appropriate equipment instead.
• When items are hoisted, ensure that those standing nearby are safe from falling objects.
• Use hoisting tools properly. Do not exceed load allowances to prevent damage to pulleys or slings.

Safety Precautions

• Do not install or remove a live power cable. Any contact between the power cable core and a conductor can Do not leave any service cable unconnected (see the following figure).
generate electric arc or sparks, which may cause fire or eye injury. If a service port is not in use, remove the cable from it and plug it with a waterproof block.
• Connect the power cables correctly to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply device (see circled
No.1 in the figure below). To prevent damage to power cables or devices caused by short-circuits, install a circuit
breaker on the negative terminal of the power supply device (see circled No.2 in the figure below). The
recommended fuse capacity is 10 A to 16 A.
• Do not connect the RTN 320 to an AC power supply device. Otherwise, the RTN 320 may be damaged.
• Do not connect the RTN 320 to a DC power supply device providing power beyond the range of –38.4 V to –57.6
V. Otherwise, the RTN 320 may be damaged.
Do not leave any service cable unconnected.

Installation Precautions
Installation space requirements Installation position requirements
•Reserve at least 30 cm space on the side of the RTN 320 so that the maintenance compartment can be opened. The RTN 320 can be installed on either side of a hybrid coupler or OMT. You can install the RTN 320 on the right or
left side based on installation space requirements.

Installation Precautions
How to handle the issue that the maintenance compartment cannot be opened due to the support bar
After installing the RTN 320, check whether the maintenance compartment can be opened. If it cannot be opened due to the support bar, adjust the installation position or angle of the support bar.
The following adjustment methods are available:
3. Adjust the installation angle of the support bar so that the maintenance compartment can be removed.
1. Adjust the installation angle of the support bar to ensure that the maintenance compartment can be opened.
4. Install a fixing bar for the support bar so that the angle of the support bar can be adjusted to the greatest extent.
Then, the maintenance compartment can be opened, and the antenna's wind resistant capability is maximized.
Fixing bar
5. Use the separate mounting mode.

2. Adjust the fixing point of the support bar to ensure that the maintenance compartment can be opened.

•Route cables along the planned path, use outdoor cable ties or feeder clamps to bind cables properly and neatly at intervals of
1. Bend radius about 1 meter, and cut off the excess of each cable tie without leaving sharp edges (ensuring a slack of about 5 mm).
For power and PGND cables, ensure a bend radius of at least three times the cable diameter. •Drip loops must be made for outdoor cables below ports or near feeder windows and ensure a bend radius equal to or greater
2. Cable binding than the required minimum bend radius.
•Bind different cables separately. Maintain an interval of at least 30 mm between cable bindings. •After you form a drip loop in a cable, coil the cable into a roll with the diameter greater than 0.6 meters and bind the roll to the

cut surfaces do not have sharp edges.
•After installing cables, attach labels or tags to the two ends of each cable.
3. Safety
•Lay out cables away from sharp objects or jagged walls, or protect cables using conduit.
Outdoor cable ties may be damaged due to installation and environmental factors. You are recommended to use feeder

•At turns or near equipment, allow sufficient slack in the cables and coil them (with a diameter of about 0.6 meters) for
future use.
4. Indoor cable routing
•Route cables into equipment rooms through feeder windows.
•Seek help indoors when routing cables into equipment rooms.
•Waterproof feeder windows.
Requirements for laying out PGND cables
•Connect PGND cables of devices at the same site to the same ground bar.
•Do not route PGND cables overhead in outdoor scenarios.
•Bind PGND cables separately from outdoor network cables and leave an appropriate distance between the bundles.
•Do not add switches or fuses on PGND cables.

Appendix
Powering On the RTN 320 Supplied with DC Power
•Before powering on the RTN 320, ensure that the DC power cable has been installed.
•You are familiar with the safety precautions for DC power supply.
•Power on the equipment within 24 hours of unpacking.
•During maintenance, the power-off time of the equipment must not be longer than 24 hours.
•Do not connect the RTN 320 to an AC power supply device. Otherwise, the RTN 320 may be damaged.
•Do not connect the RTN 320 to a DC power supply device providing power beyond the range of –38.4 V to –57.6
V. Otherwise, the RTN 320 may be damaged.
•If the PI is used to output DC power, the DIP switching for setting the power output mode should be set correctly
so that the DC OUT mode is selected. After setting the DIP switch, switch off the power supply. After waiting for 6
seconds, switch on the power supply again.
