INTRODUCTION
Dialog Axiata PLC, a subsidiary of Axiata Group Berhad (Axiata), operates Sri Lankas largest and fastest
growing mobile telecommunications network. Company mobile network consists 3000+live base station
sites scattered throughout the country and over 2200 of those sites are owned by DAP while the rest
has been shared from other telecom operators infrastructure. DAP network is geographically divided in
to ten (10) regions managed by Dialog Network Services(DNS) by which all operation & maintenance and
project activities are coordinated & executed from regional offices and dispersed depots within the
region.
DNS maintains the base station infrastructure in well-coordinated manner compliance to the Dialog
standards with 99.99% network up time to provide seamless network services to our valued customers.
Therefore DNS expects to strictly follow Installation Guide document for any installation works at DAP
owned and shared infrastructure sites to continuously maintain the above goals.
Apart from equipment suppliers manuals, this Installation Guide document gives the idea for all
installers on how to install/label telecommunication equipment and accessories on towers and cabins as
per DAP standards. Installation Guide document basically covered three main areas including Base
Station Subsystem (BSS), Microwave Transmission (MW) and Power (PWR) installations. All installers
(contractors) shall follow the document guidelines for all the BSS/MW/PW installations to be completed
at DAP owned, shared infrastructure sites. DNS strictly advices all contractors to consult respective
regional in charge for any deviations to the Installation Guide document.
This is 2015 edition of Installation Guide and DNS has the responsibility to amend the document yearly if
and only if there is a requirement for any amendment or addendum.

BSS INSTALLATION
1.1 Cellular Antenna Installation

1.1.1 Cellular Antenna Brackets
Antenna pole should be Heavy Duty GI made pole, 3m in length & 2.5 in diameter & painted
with standard color using the same paint type used for the structure. Clamps too should be
fabricated using the same material & paints.
Picture 1.1.1: 3m antenna pole
Antenna pole should be adjusted to fix vertically every time before beginning any equipment
installation.
Antenna bracket should be fixed as per WO azimuth setting such a way that orientation of the
antenna bracket should be allowed maximum possible antenna rotation in either.
All the nuts & bolts should be tightened firmly & secure with check nuts.
Picture 1.1.2: antenna installation directions
6
1.1.2
Cellular Antenna positioning
Cellular antennas should be able to rotate within +/-150 from the WO azimuth to enable future
optimizations. If it is not possible with available bracket arrangement, need to rearrange the
brackets/antenna poles or relocate the antenna to other available pole to ensure the
requirement.
Picture 1.1.3: Antenna Rotating Tolerance +/- 15 degrees
Original clamp set provided by the antenna fabricator must be used to install any antenna.
Mechanical down tilt should be set to zero as per the current practice unless mentioned in the
WO.
Picture 1.1.4: Down tilt Clamps
Antennas should not be fixed near to the bottom end of the antenna poles, so that reaching the
antenna ports shall be much easier for operational activities. Also this will allow the lower
antenna clamp to be fixed above the lower arm/clamp of the antenna bracket, which will add
some extra protection when adjusting or dismantling the antenna in the future.
7
Picture 1.1.5: Antenna mounting on towers to easy access for works
Azimuth and tilt error should be +/- 0.5 degrees from the WO specifications.
Unused antenna ports should be sealed with PVC tape and 3M rubber tape as per the DAP guide
lines on chapter 5.2 of this document.
All the antennas should be labeled according to the DAP labeling standards described on chapter
7.
1.2 TMA Installation
Steel tie wraps should be used to mount TMA on the antenna pole just at the back of the
antenna.
Height from the bottom of the antenna should be ~0.5 m & should be able to connect the
antenna side using =<2m jumper cables if there are no exceptions described on the WO.
TMA grounding point should be connected to the structure using 16mm2 or higher gauge Earth
cables/C clamps
UV protected out door tie wraps must be used for neat up activities.
All the ports of the TMA should be properly sealed using the same guide lines described on the
chapter 5.2- outdoor connector waterproofing of this document.
All the jumper cables should be neat up according to the common jumper cables installation
guide lines explained on chapter 1.8 of this document.
All unused connectors should be sealed with a connector-sealing cap to prevent water from
entering or pooling in the connector.
When connecting the male connector to the female connector care must be taken to ensure
that the connectors do not become cross-threaded. Damaged connectors should not be used
8
Picture 1.2.1: TMA installation on antenna pole
1.3 RRU Installation
RRUs should Installed such a way that it should not block cellular antenna main lobe.
RRUs installation should be installed to facilitate the easy operations and maintenance. Hence
adequate space around RRU should be maintained for human operations.
All the RRUs should be positioned in a way that the maintenance cavity of the RRU facing the
tower side to facilitate easy operation.
RRUs must be installed as far as possible from the lightning arrester/down conductor of the
tower.
Orientation of the RRU should allow the antenna to be adjusted within +/-150 for the future
optimizations.
If the recommended clearance not available, contractor must contact regional PM & get
directions before proceed the Installation with minimum clearance possible.
Clearance between RRUs should always adhere to the vendor specifications & should
accommodate the heat dissipation requirement and easy O&M. RRU clearance requirement can
be vary from vendor to vendor and based on RRU model. Need to align with the RRU
manufacturer specification as much as possible. Following is the general practice.
9
Picture 1.3.1 (a): Recommended /Minimum Clearance for a Single RRU
Picture 1.3.2 (b): Recommended /Minimum vertical space between RRUs
To ensure the proper heat dissipation of the RRU and ensure waterproofing of the ports at the
bottom of the RRU, the tilt of the RRU must be less than or equal to 10 degrees in general.
Picture 1.3.3: Correct RRU positioning
All the RRUs should be installed vertically as per above requirement. Any deviation due to
exceptional case should be acknowledged & get approval from the regional PM.
10
Picture 1.3.4: RRU Installed in Vertical Mode
At RT Pole site, a minimum of 1200mm ~ 1600mm distance should be kept between the tower
base level and bottom of the RRU.
RRUs must be installed within the arms of the antenna bracket (cross bars for double bracket).
That will provide extra protection when adjusting or replacing.
Picture 1.3.5: RRU mounting on pole and between supporting bars to tower
If enough space not available to mount the RRU on the same antenna pole, then special bracket
approved/issued by DAP must be used.
Maximum number of RRU installed on single cellular pole should be limited to 2. Any deviation
should get approval from the regional PM.
11
Picture 1.3.6: Wrong Installation (more than two RRU on single pole)
RRU must be fixed firmly to the pole. All clamps should be installed according to the product
specification. Booklet of the quick installation guidance provided by the manufacturer must be
referred or get the instructions from regional PM at any difficulty.
Picture 1.3.7: RRU Fixed without any loose connection
A torque wrench should be used when tightening the nuts according to the product
specifications. A mark should be made to confirm all nuts are tightened to the correct value.
12
Picture 1.3.8: a mark made for identifying the nut is tightened to the correct torque setting.
All check nuts, spring washers, flat washers must be installed without neglecting any, according
to the product specifications.
If the extra length of the RRU bracket bolts block the expected azimuth tolerance of the installed
antennas (+/- 15 degrees) then the bolt/bolts must be cut off and proper protection for avoiding
any corrosion should be applied. Bonding and Insulation tapes can be used for this purpose.
Cover plates of the RRUs maintenance cavity should be fixed firmly ensuring the water seal in
place to avoid water leakages into the cavity.
Picture 1.3.9: Cover Plate of RRU maintenance cavity
Do not remove dust proof caps of the vacant RF ports on the RRUs or antennas. Water proofing
should be done as per the common guide lines on chapter 5-waterproofing on this document for
unused ports.
13
Picture 1.3.10: Dust Proof Caps of an RRU
Unused ports of the RRUs maintenance cavity should be blocked using original rubber bushes
only provided with the RRU by the manufacturer.
Picture 1.3.11: Closed maintenance cavity of the RRU (left) & blocked unused ports of maintenance cavity (right)
Stripped part of the RRU power cable should not exposed out of the maintenance cavity. Good
installation shown on below picture.
Picture 1.3.12: Correct installation of RRU power cable
14
RRU should be grounded to the structure with good electrical contact by using a C clamp. Tower
paint should be removed on minimum area required for C clamp only & must not damage zinc
layer when removing the paint which will lead to structure corrosion.
Picture 1.3.13: RRU Grounding with C-Clamp
Refer to the below picture for correct way of connecting earth cable to the RRU.
Picture 1.3.14: Correct and incorrect ways of fixing earth cables
All the RRUs should be labeled as per the DAP standard described on chapter 7-labeling section
on latter part of this document.
The surface of all equipment should be cleaned after the installation.
15
1.4 Fiber Cable Installation

Minimum bending radius for average fiber cables in general is 20 times the diameter of the
cable. So need to prevent any sharp bends at any point.
Should follow all the safety precautions defined by the manufacturer & it is a must to use fiber
hooks provided for hoisting RRU fiber cables one by one, avoiding any damage.
Picture 1.4.1: Incorrect Binding of RRU Fiber Cable
RRU power cable, RRU fiber cable and Grounding cables should not be bundled together.
Cable coiling near the RRU must be avoided if not instructed to do so.
Extra care should be taken when tightening the fiber cable close to the maintenance cavity of
the RRU to avoid the cable being damaged.
Connectors of fiber cables must be covered with dust proof caps throughout the installation
period.
Need to keep the dust proof caps installed for all unused SFP/fiber ports.
Picture 1.4.2: SFP ports covered with dust proof caps
16
Clamps used for installing RRU cables should comply with the fiber cable sizes. Eg. Clamps used
for Huawei fiber cables do not match with Ericsson fiber cables which are thinner than Huawei
fiber cables.
Picture 1.4.3: fiber cables installed using correct & incorrect cable clamps. clamp diameter>fiber on incorrect
In the instance of unable to cover fiber cables with PVC pipes (bends in irregular shape)
according to the fiber cable installation category described on the next chapter, need to use GI
flexible or UV protected conduits. Plastic conduits without UV protection will be rejected.
Picture 1.4.4: GI flexibles used at bending points of fiber cable installation
SLS certified PVC pipe must be used for the installation.

Fiber/power cables used for the same technology or same BTS must be installed in the same
cluster.
17
Cables should have enough free length near RRU/Antenna [between last tie wrap point and
RRU/Antenna] for allowing RRU & antenna movements /removals [for maintenance work]
without changing current cable installation.
Picture 1.4.5: free length of cables for easy operation
Excess fiber cables must be kept rolled, not less than 1 feet diameter. This zag of fiber cables
must be kept on the tray below the BBUs if it is an outdoor cabinet. If it is indoor, the zag must
be kept on the most distant place from busy area of the cable tray.
Picture 1.4.6: Fiber cable zag kept away from frequently used area of the cable gantry
18
All the fiber cables must be labeled according to the DAP standards described on chapter 7 of

2 MICROWAVE INSTALLATION
2.1 MW Antenna Installation

Need to adhere to the manufacturer guidelines strictly. Installation manual provided by the
antenna manufacturer should be referred by the installation teams & must take regional PM
consent before proceeding in difficult situations.
The installation paste has to be applied to all threads of bolts and fine adjustment spindles. It is
provided with the installation kit, which is a corrosion preventing and lubricating liquid
especially for all threads of stainless steel bolts, U-bolts, spindles. After this, keep the lubricated
threads free of dust and dirt. Manufacturers define fastener torque settings only for bolts
lubricated with this installation paste.
Picture 2.1.1: installation paste applied on the balt.
If there is planer radome available need to follow manufacturer guide lines and install it without
any kinking. Kinking will destroy the radome which is non repairable or replaceable on live
antenna.
All safety precautions should be taken to avoid any damage to the antenna/existing equipment
on the tower during the installation, need to align with manufacturer guide lines when hoisting
the antenna to the tower top.

ensuring the maximum torque that can be negotiated by the wind brace.
Picture 2.2.2: Wind brace should not rotate more than 25 from antenna direction
36
2.3 ODU Installation

Need to adhere to the manufacturer guidelines strictly during installation.
Unpacking the installation kit must be done carefully for avoiding any particles being missing.
Neglecting any item in the installation kit or any instruction by the radio manufacturer will lead
to a total destruction of the unit or QOS issues, sooner or later.
Need to select/locate the MW bracket & position the MW antenna in a way that the radio units
can be reached easily, at any cost. That is, the radio units must be installed nearest side of the
antenna to the tower. It will ease up the O&M.
Picture 2.3.1: ODU installed away from the tower will make O&M hard
2.4 IF Cable Installation

IF connectors for deferent brands/models of MW links vary from one to another. So need to
follow the instruction set provided by the IF connector manufacturer for each type. Using the
correct tools (Eg. Crimping tools) is a must.
During the cable installation, IF cable connectors may be damaged & the connectivity may also
broke up. Therefore need to test the connectivity of the cables after the cable is fully installed
We can proceed with short circuit test using a multi meter to check the cable connectivity.
Picture 2.4.1: Testing Cable Connectivity using multi meter
37
Do not perform short-circuit test when one side of the IF cable connected with either ODU side
or IDU side
Must avoid joints on IF cables at any cost. Need to check whole cable for damages after cable
laying is completed.
Before connecting/disconnecting the IF cable at any point, ODU and IDU power switches should
be turned off to void damages due to short circuiting.
IF cable should be connected to the IDU through the IF jumper from the indoor IF arrestor.

5 WATERPROOFING/WEATHERPROOFING
5.1 Why Waterproofing/Weatherproofing.

Moisture build up within the RF/IF connectors can wreak havoc on a systems performance.
The coaxial cables dielectric is typically made of open-cell foam, which can act like a sponge,
absorbing and retaining moisture.
Moisture encourages corrosion around the connector, potentially leading to a scenario where
RF signals inadvertently mix and generate passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion.
PIM can interfere with neighboring frequencies, prompting a host of legal and regulatory
headaches for the operator. Also it will generate high VSWR values and damage transmitter
equipment at some point.
Picture 5.1.1: RF cable damaged by moisture.
5.2 Common procedure for outdoor RF/IF connector water proofing.

Step 1- Vinyl insulation tapes should apply as the first layer. It should be wrapped from top to
Bottom to avoid draining water inward if the mastic/Rubber tape layer is damaged at any
position and water leaked in to the seal.
Step 2- Then 2 layers of mastic/Scotch, typically made of butyl rubber should be applied. This
layer should form a seal against water intrusion, completely covering the connector/joint.
Step 3- then 2 layers of Vinyl tape should be applied to secure the mastic in place and protect it
from UV rays. This wrapping also should begin from the top and end on bottom side of the
connection. The end product should look like a smooth, round bump on the cable.
Finally a tie wrap tighten at both ends of the sealing can ensure stability of vinyl tape edge.
Picture 5.2.1: Waterproofing steps for Sandwich Mastic layer method.
63
Properly wrapping connections with tape and mastic (left of below pic) requires skill. If done
poorly (center and right, mastic layer was skipped) water can seep in, potentially resulting in
service outages.
Picture 5.2.2: Correct and incorrectly done water proofing
Picture 5.2.3: RF jumper termination points waterproofed
5.3 Cellular Antenna/RRU unused ports waterproofing
First unused ports of the Cellular antennas/RRUs should be covered with the dust proof cap
initially provided with the antenna or RRU.
Then it should be sealed as per above 5.2 guidelines.

5.4 TX Waveguides waterproofing
Need to seal the waveguide ends with PVC tape & 3M rubber tape as per the same guide lines
on 5.2.
Silicon must be used in addition in waveguide scenario. Because, applying vinyl tape may not
cover whole interface between waveguide & Radio or Waveguide & antenna as it is not a
regular shape like RF/IF connector. So the screw tightening area of the face plate can be covered
using silicon.
64
Picture 5.4.1: waveguides sealed at connecting points
Unused ports of MW couplers should be sealed using cover plates or the method accepted by
the manufacturer.
Picture 5.4.2: cover plate used for covering unused coupler port
65
5.5 RF/IF Connectors waterproofing
Follow the SAME guidelines on chapter 5.2 for waterproofing all the outdoor cable termination
points.
Picture 5.5.1: IF connector with surge arrester sealed using mastic sandwich (left) & mastic S. + silicon (right)
Special care should be taken & the gap between IF cable & the grounding cable coming out from
the surge arrester should be filled up when applying rubber tape to prevent moisture from
entering through the gap.
5.6 RF/IF Cable Grounding points waterproofing
Grounding kit should be fixed in a way that the grounding cable comes out from bottom end of
the water seal after completion.
Follow the guide lines on section 5.2 for applying mastic sandwich waterproofing.
Special care should be taken & the gap between IF/RF cable & the grounding cable coming out
from the surge arrester should be filled up when applying rubber tape to prevent moisture from
entering through the gap.
Picture 5.6.1: RF & IF grounding points sealed using mastic sandwich method
66
5.7 PVC/flexible conduit joints
Same guidelines described on Section 5.2 can be applied. We can use thinner mastic/rubber
tape layer for this joints.
Picture 5.7.1: conduit joints waterproofed
5.8 Water draining methods for fiber cable installation via PVC
T junctions should be installed near the cable bend & near the bulk head on horizontal cable
ladder for draining water collecting inside PVC conduits.
Picture 5.8.1: T junctions installed on fiber conduits for draining water collecting inside the PVC conduit
5.9 Bulkhead Sealing
Bulk head should be sealed after finishing any installation to prevent insects from entering the
equipment cabin.
Silicon can be applied for sealing the bulk head.
Heat shrinking sleeves should be used for the RF cables.
Picture 5.9.1: Bulk head sealed using silicon/heat shrink sleeves.
67
5.10 Cable inlets/outlets sealing methods for outdoor cabinet cable inlets.
All the cable entry points should be sealed using mastic tapes/silicon and need to ensure any
insect cannot enter the equipment cabinet.
Picture 5.10.1: Cable inlets weatherproofing for outdoor cabinet cable inlets
5.11 Unused cable entry points Sealing(Outdoor cabinets)
Unused cable entry points should be sealed using original rubber bushes whenever possible. If
not apply silicon and seal all the holes to prevent insects from entering cabin.
Picture 5.11.1: Cable inlets closed using original rubber bushes
68
6 MAINTAINING THE CABLE LADDER/GANTRY & THE BULKHEAD
This is a limited resource & every installation team must take responsibility to use the cable
ladders efficiently allowing next, installations/upgrades do easily.
Keeping the neatness on the cable tray installation express the quality of the entire installation,
always.
6.1 Outdoor Cable Ladder
Any cable should not cross over other cables.
All the cables should be tightly bound using either cable clamps or UV protected cable ties.
Cables used for separate technologies should be clustered separately.
IF cables should be laid separately for each link. I.e. Not in a bunch.
Picture 6.1.1: first user has installed cables efficiently
6.2 Indoor Cable Gantry Installation Procedure
Please follow below order for installing different types of cables on the indoor cable ladder.
Beginning from the wall side.
Area 1-All the Earth cables must be routed near to the wall.
Area 2-RF cables if available
Area 2-Then the DC power cables
Area 3-Fiber cables
Area 4-Other Signaling cables(Ethernet/PCM/Alarm)
Picture 6.2.1: areas for installing different types of cables on the cable ladder
69
All the cables should be routed in straight lines & should be bound to the cable tray using
suitable (to the size of the cable) indoor cable ties.
All the cable ties should be correctly cut off using tie wrap tightening tool to avoid any damages
to hands from sharp tie wrap edges.
This way we can keep the good look of the installation & also avoid lightning damages to
sensitive electronic devices from induced currents on signaling cables.
6.3 Bulk Head
Need to begin the cable installation from near most side of the bulk head to the cabin wall. This
will ease up the next installations/upgrades always.
If the bulk head is on left side:-

Installer may use bulk head in order shown on below picture. Imagine this bulk head is near to
the left wall.
Picture 6.3.5: order to use the bulk head
All the holes/gaps should be sealed up as per the DAP guide lines explained on the chapter 5.9
of this document.
6.4 Outdoor Cabin inlets & Outlets
The inner most cable inlet must be used first to ease up next installation.
Always should use the suitable cable entry point according to the cable size. Cables installed
through larger size cable entry points will lead to unwanted gaps & will always make
weatherproofing very hard.
All the cable entry points should be sealed as per the DAP standards on chapter 5.10 on this
document.
Unused cable entry points should be closed using original rubber bushes provided by the
outdoor cabinet manufacturer.
