3.1  Wall­mounting 

In most cases, two expansion bolts are enough to fasten the mounting bracket, which
should pass through the upper two screw holes on the face of the bracket. However, if the
ZXSDR R8881 S4200 is installed along a high-speed railway, in a tunnel or an
earthquake-prone zone, four expansion bolts are required.

holes on a wall. And then fix the pass through the upper two screw holes on
attachments of the expansion bolts into the the bracket and screw up the bolts to fasten
holes. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the the bracket on the wall, In placing the
dust while you are drilling holes bracket, ensure the arrow on the bracket
points upward.

IMPORTANCE:
The power port of a DC-type ZXSDR R8881 S4200 is a two-core round connector (with
pins). The DC power cable that is made at the site for the DC-type ZXSDR R8881 S4200
must be connected to the correct port on a DC power supply device
otherwise, the ZXSDR R8881 S4200 may be damaged.

4.2.2 Connecting the Grounding Wire   

1. Connect one end of the grounding wire to the GND port at the bottom of the ZXSDR
R8881 S4200.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding wire to the nearest outdoor grounding busbar.
Note:  When  you  connect  cables,  you  should  connect  the  grounding  wire  first  and  the  power 
cable last. And when you disconnect cables, you should disconnect the power cable first and the 
grounding wire last.   

 
3. If the ODCPD1 is used, use one grounding wire to connect the GND port of
ZXSDR R8881 S4200 to the grounding point of the ODCPD1, and then use
another grounding wire to connect the grounding point of the ODCPD1/PIMAC to the
nearest outdoor grounding busbar.

4.3 Selecting Positions for Grounding Clips   

4.3.1 Grounding Clips for Antenna Feeders   

1. When the RRU is installed close to the antenna,

1.1 Grounding is not required if the feeder or jumper is less than 5 m.
1.2 You should ground the feeder on the RRU side if the feeder is greater than 5 m but
less than 20 m.
2. When the RRU is installed outdoors and far away from the antenna (greater than 20
m,and main feeder is used),
2.1 You should ground the feeder on the RRU side.
2.2 You should ground the feeder on the antenna side.
2.3 If the feeder is laid on an iron tower, you should ground the feeder before it leaves
the tower. If the distance from the tower to the RRU is less than 10 m, grounding is not
required for the feeder before it leaves the tower. If the length of the feeder on the tower is
greater than 60 m, you should ground the feeder at the middle position of the tower.
3. When the RRU is installed indoors,
 3.1 You should ground the feeder at the very position before it goes through the feeder
window of the equipment room.
3.2 You should ground the feeder on the antenna side.
3.3 If the feeder is laid on an iron tower, you should ground the feeder before it leaves
the tower. If the distance from the tower to the feeder window is less than 10 m, grounding
is not required for the feeder before it leaves the tower. If the length of the feeder on the
tower is greater than 60 m, you should ground the feeder at the middle position of the
tower.

4.3.2 Grounding Clips for Power Cables   

1. Outdoor shielded DC power cables must be grounded near the feeder window of the
equipment room, and the grounding clips must be connected to an outdoor grounding
busbar. If the cable is grounded after it enters the equipment room through the feeder
window, the cable where a grounding clip is applied must be wrapped with two layers of
insulating tape. If the cable is grounded before it goes through the feeder window, the
position of a cable where a grounding clip is applied must be processed with the “1-3-3”
water-proof measure, that is, one-layer insulating adhesive tape, three-layer waterproof
adhesive tape, and three-layer ultraviolet-proof adhesive tape.

2. Outdoor shielded DC power cables must be grounded before they enter an outdoor
cabinet, and the grounding clips must be connected to an outdoor grounding busbar. The
position of a cable where a grounding clip is applied must be processed with the “1-3-3”
water-proof measure, that is, one-layer insulating adhesive tape, three-layer waterproof
adhesive tape, and three-layer ultraviolet-proof adhesive tape.
