#1 Weatherproofing
ATT-002-290-502-36;
Connector Weather proofing. Butyl, Self amalgamated tape,
Canisters are all nationally approved methods. Individual markets will dictate how they wish to weatherproof the connectors in that market. (below is the butyl method) 1. Start with a courtesy wrap of the connector, adhesive side up. 2. Fill in the voids and gaps with extra butyl. Allow for a smooth transition from one to the other connector. 3. Overlap the outer wrap of butyl the entire length of the connector. Ensure you extend beyond the courtesy wrap.
4. Wrap the butyl with overlapping

2 tape. Extend beyond the butyl. 3 layers of coverage is required, up, down and back up again.
12
#1 Weatherproofing (cont)
Weatherproofing continued. 5. Make sure you overlap both the 2 and the tape when you apply it to the connectors. 6. Wrap the 2 tape with overlapping tape. Extend beyond the 2 tape. 3 layers of coverage is required, up, down and back up again. Make sure your last wrap is upward as the connector is dressed in on the tower to allow for proper shingling of the tape.
7. Extend the last 6-8 of tape beyond the connection. Do not stress the tape and cut it with scissors or a knife. Then apply it to
the connector with out stretching

the tape.
13
#2 Ground Bars: Stainless Hardware

ATT-002-290-502-63; Ground bars: Stainless steel hardware, Verify the
hardware (nuts/bolts/flat and locking washers) for installing the ground bars & connecting the wires to the ground bars are stainless. Insure all bolts are up and out. Appropriate sized hardware must be used for the ground bar and lug
that you are installing. The correct hardware stack up is required. Flat washers
cannot overlap the washer next to it. It is acceptable to sandwich the ground bar but not piggyback the lugs together.
If 2 hole lug is
used follow the same stack-up
Correct Hardware Stack-up
14
#3 Ground Wire Lugs

ATT-002-290-502-66; Ground wire lugs: Verify ground wire lugs are two-hole
long barrel, and are sized for the ground wire. Transparent heat shrink tubing is in place on internal lugs. Black heat shrink on external lugs. The ground conductor must be seated all the way to the end of the lug barrel.
15
#4 Tower Top Jumper Supports
ATT-002-290-502-12; Tower top jumper support; Support the jumper at

maximum of 18 from the connector and then every 3. If you use butterfly supports one of the jumpers has to be supported back to the tower steel very close to the butterfly. Zip ties or wax string are not acceptable to
support jumpers on top of the tower.
16
#5 RET Cables
ATT-002-290-502-169; RET Cables: Verify the RET cables are installed per the
construction drawings and/or project specifications. Ensure the cable supports are adequate and supporting the cables properly. Dependent upon the market you may have different requirements for supporting the RET cable. They may be large Zip
ties, snap ins with grommets, or hoisting grips on the tower. At no time will you use
an improvised method such as ropes or heavy gauge wire to support the RET cable. Support for the RET cable will follow the same direction as for coax cable. You are allowed to secure the ret to the outside of a coax snap in but not directly to the coax itself.
17
#6 Penetrations
ATT-002-290-502 -147; Shelter / cabinet penetrations, Verify penetrations
are sealed and any unused conduits or ports are capped. Verify penetrations have been cushioned, grommeted, or otherwise protected per the construction drawings and/or project specifications to prevent damage to coax or jumper
cables. You cannot cut into a port cap and then seal it with silicone.
Appropriate sized conduit with caps or silicone can be utilized to seal flex conduit. When sealing penetrations through floors and interior walls proper fire stopping methods must be followed.
18
#7 Equipment Frame Grounding

ATT-002-290-502-57; Equipment frame(s) grounding: Verify the frames of newly
installed equipment have been connected to the ground grid per the construction drawings and/or project specifications. Some manufactures require only one grounding point as well as single hole grounding lugs, for their equipment. Confirm
with the manufacture and AT&T if it is acceptable to do so with the equipment that
you are installing.
Clear Heatshrink is required inside a shelter
19
#8 Site Cleanliness
ATT-002-290-502-99; Site cleanliness: Verify site is clean: all trash, debris, and all
construction aids and equipment have been removed. This includes all items that are inside as well as outside. Trash should be removed or staged on a daily basis to prevent it from being blown onto an adjacent property. During the days work the site must be kept in an orderly fashion for
safety reasons. Empty the trash can before you leave. Take a picture.
20
#9 Ground Conductor
ATT-002-290-502-61; Ground conductor installation / color / labeling: Verify
the ground conductors are installed and labeled and are the size/gauge/color/type as specified per the construction drawings and/or project specifications. Ground conductors from diplexers, duplexers, TMAs and coax can use #6 stranded.
Between bus bars, from the BTS cabinets, and other non equipment metal objects
require #2 stranded. Any conductor that is buried must be #2 tinned. All grounds required to have printed labels at each end of the conductor. You are allowed not more than 1/8 shiner when connecting to a ground lug. Any shiner on the ground conductor greater than 1/8 must be redone.
21
#10 Antenna Orientation

ATT-002-290-502-1 & RFDS;
quality compass to verify azimuths A declination value represents the error between Magnetic North and True North, at a specific location. Declinations can be found by zip code or Latitude and Longitude at: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/struts/calcDeclination Add the declination to the RFDS if you are East of 0 declination, subtract the declination if you are west of 0 to get magnetic North referenced setting. (REF; If you are looking at the map or settings obtained from NOAA you must compute the declination back to zero.) Always confirm that the market is utilizing this declination. They may keep one value for all sites in the market. DECLINATION - Declination refers to the measured difference between the Magnetic North indicated by the compass and the True North of the map. All antennae are set to TRUE NORTH. DEVIATION - Iron and metal objects near the compass, e.g. some watches or glasses with metal frames, will cause deviation; towers, fences, vehicles and piers made of metal reinforced concrete, and underground pipes are also potential causes for deviation. Use the following map for general guidance, it is a 2004 map, but the theory is the same: If east of the Mississippi, add the value to the RFDS; if west subtract the value. Antenna orientation: Azimuths set according to the
latest RFDS. Verify before you complete the job. You must use a Sunnto or other survey
22
#10 Antenna Orientation (cont.)
Add the declination to the RFDS if east of 0 declination or Subtract the declination to the RFDS if west of 0 declination. (An alternative method per the AT&T 502 allows you to start with a magnetic azimuth but you must utilize the declination as it is represented on the NOAA website or on the depiction below.) Antenna azimuth: azimuth variance +/- 5 degrees of RFDS, true north. Take into account the ATT market specified declination. Another method using Earth.google.com is
acceptable when verifying azimuths on a rooftop.
23
# 10 Antenna Orientation (cont.)

Below you can see the difference that takes place in relationship from true North to magnetic North. Because the earth leans on an axis and the magnetic North is basically straight up and down there will be a deviation between the two.
24
#11 Identification Color Coding

ATT-002-290-502-46; Coax identification color coding: Verify coax has been

of the tower uses 3 wraps of colored tape with separation.
25
#12 Identification: Tagging

ATT-002-290-502-46; Coax identification / Tagging: Verify the appropriate tags as called
for by the Project or Market specifications have been attached to the coax inside the hatch plate. Tags are not required on top. Each RF cable will be identified with a metal ID tag made of stainless steel or brass. The tags will be 1-1/2 in diameter with stamped letters and numbers.
Each physical tag will be stamped with the sector, cable number, and AT&T in accordance to
the example diagram below: The letter indicates the sector and the number BEFORE the decimal indicates the main coax number on that sector increasing in a clock-wise direction. The number AFTER the decimal is only used when more than one jumper is associated with a main coax and indicates the jumper number that is associated with that main coax.
The tags should be attached with corrosion
