Safety Precautions

Thunderstorms
High temperature
Do not work with electrical current or work in elevated or exposed locations during a thunderstorm.
If the ambient temperature reaches 55°C, the surface temperature of an OAU 2F may exceed 70°C.

Extreme weather conditions Therefore, wear protective gloves when handling the OAU 2F. A high-temperature warning label ( ) is
attached to each OAU 2F.
OAU 2F is usually installed outdoors. If weather conditions are extreme during an installation, personnel
should follow the related local guidelines and regulations to safeguard personal health and safety. Handling of OAU 2F or mounting kits

Elevated locations Wear clean gloves when handling the OAU 2F or mounting kits.

OAU 2F is usually installed in an elevated location, for example, on the rooftop of a building. For installation Lasers
in elevated locations, installation personnel must:
Do not look into an optical port without eye protection.
•Have the proper training and qualifications, and meet health requirements.
•Wear helmets, safety belts, and anti-slip footwear.
Corrosion
•Wear clothing and gloves appropriate to weather conditions.
•Work in teams of two or more. Anti-corrosion measures are required if an OAU 2F is installed in a location that is prone to corrosion. Contact the
•Test hoisting tools before use. local Huawei office for details. A location is prone to corrosion if it is:
•Avoid installation during extreme weather conditions, such as during thunderstorms, blizzards, or gales. •Within 3.7 km of an ocean or a salt water lake
In addition, all site visitors must wear helmets. • Within 3 km of a heavy pollution source, such as a smelting factory or coal mine
• Within 2 km of a medium pollution source, such as a chemical, rubber, or electroplating plant
Microwave • Within 1 km of a light pollution source, such as a food/leather processing plant or heating boiler

High-power radio frequency signals are harmful. Avoid exposure to transmission from the antennas of Local rules and regulations
microwave equipment that has the radiation warning symbol ( ). When you are installing or performing If local rules and regulations require that anti-corrosion measures must be taken for ground connections,
maintenance on an antenna located on a tower that has multiple antennas, avoid exposure to radiation comply with local rules and regulations.
from other antennas.

Unpacking
Moving and hoisting heavy objects
• After unpacking an OAU 2F, power it on within 24 hours.
To move or hoist heavy objects, use appropriate equipment and adhere to the • Do not power off an OAU 2F for more than 24 hours during maintenance.
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

DC power Do not leave any service cable unconnected

•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 7 A to 10 A.
•Do not connect the OAU 2F to an AC power supply device. Otherwise, the OAU 2F may be damaged.
•Do not connect the OAU 2F to a DC power supply device providing power beyond the range of –38.4 V to –
57.6 V. Otherwise, the OAU 2F may be damaged.

DANGER
Do not leave any service cable
unconnected.

Laying out Cables

Requirements for laying out cables outdoors

General requirements
•Route cables along the planned path, use outdoor cable ties or feeder clamps to bind cables properly and neatly at intervals of about
1. Bend radius 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 than

•Bind cables securely and neatly, without damaging the cable jackets. •Check whether there is a probability that outdoor cables will be damaged by external environmental factors. If yes, you are advised to
•Ensure that cable ties face the same direction and are aligned in rows horizontally. protect outdoor cables, for example, by putting the cables through tubes.
•Cut off the excess of each indoor cable tie but leave a slack of about 5 mm for each outdoor cable tie. Ensure that all cut •The cables to be protected consist of power cables, outdoor network cables, outdoor fibers, and IF cables.

•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. NOTE
•Lay out cables away from heat sources, or add heat-insulation materials between cables and heat sources.
Outdoor cable ties may be damaged due to installation and environmental factors. You are recommended to use feeder

 Checking the Installation

No. Check Item

1 All outdoor connections and ground clips are moistureproofed or waterproofed.

2 The cable connectors are assembled correctly and securely.

3 Cables are not bent or twisted and the shield layer of the power cable is intact.

4 There is a drip loop in the cable after it leaves the RTN 320F.

5 There is a drip loop in the cable before it enters the equipment room.

6 The minimum bending radius of the cables is greater than 30 cm (11.8 inches).

7 Cables are placed tidily and are not cross-connected.

8 Cables are bound to the cable ladder or tray at intervals of approximately 1 m (3.28 feet).

9 Binding tapes are cut off with an excess section reserved at the ends.

10 Attach and bind cable labels correctly. Labels must be aligned and face the same direction.

11 The excess cable is coiled into a roll with a diameter not less than 60 cm (23.62 inches). The roll is bound to the pole or
the tower.

12 The cable ground point is properly protected.

13 The power cable does not bend in the range of 0.5 m (1.64 feet) above and below the ground clip.

14 The ground cable is routed from the top downwards and the angle between the ground cable and other cables is less
than 15 degrees.

15 The ground cable of the RTN 320F is properly connected.

16 The USB maintenance compartment is closed and screwed.
