Site Considerations

The MTS site building should be designed to meet the requirements of any and all local building
codes, and relevant regulations, applicable to the site location.
Motorola recommends the following considerations when selecting a site:

For front access, stations allow only a minimum of 80 cm for access.
The ceiling structure should be able to support a cable tray assembly for routing
the inter-cabinet cabling and other site cabling. The cable tray assembly is
mounted to the site ceiling and walls per site plan.
Check the room door dimensions to ensure that the MTS cabinet can pass through:
◦
MTS 2 cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86 cm width/without
wooden pallet 59 cm
◦ MTS 4 cabinet transported on wooden pallet needs 86 cm width/without
wooden pallet 68 cm
The operating temperature of the MTS is:
◦
MTS 2 400 MHz without fans: -30 °C to +55 °C
◦
MTS 2 400 MHz with fans: -30 °C to +60 °C
◦
MTS 2 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
◦
MTS 4 400 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +60 °C
◦ MTS 4 800 MHz (always fans): -30 °C to +55 °C
Therefore the site interior temperature must be maintained within these limits. Maintaining a
stable, moderate site temperature is the best approach for long term reliability of the equipment.
It is suggested that a mains socket outlet is available adjacent to the MTS for the powering of
test equipment. This mains outlet must be on the same electrical phase as the MTS supply.
If sited close to a railway track, the MTS must be installed at least 3m from the center of the track.
Proper surge protection should be installed on E1/X.21 site links, all antennas, and power
inputs to prevent potential damage to the MTS. Please refer to
section in Appendix A, "Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)"

and Guidelines for Communications Sites, R56.
