T-Mobile Site ID:SE01845A Cascade HS North WT <br /> Market:PNW <br /> City of Everett Site ID:Olympic Tank <br /> 6. All equipment is to be grounded. Grounding is to be done with low impedance conductor to the station ground <br /> grid, preferably with flat copper strap or heavy braid. The "green wire" of the AC power plug is not an <br /> acceptable grounding point. The site manager has the responsibility of providing a suitable ground for users. <br /> 7. Transmitting systems must be checked periodically,which includes the isolator,VSWR on the load port of the <br /> isolator,and overall system insertion loss. <br /> 8. Bare metallic ties are prohibited for securing transmission lines to towers. In the case of large lines, use of <br /> stainless steel or galvanized hangers is permitted. Hardware capable of rusting and dissimilar metals is <br /> prohibited. Transmission lines are to be insulated from metallic structures/objects. It is the duty of the <br /> installation personnel to prevent"diode junctions"from taking place. <br /> 9. All loose wire or metal objects are to be removed from the tower and site. Metal fencing should be plastic <br /> coated. <br /> 10. All equipment shall be licensed and operated in full accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the <br /> regulating agency,(FCC,NTIA). There shall be no modifications that violate"FCC Type Acceptance." <br /> 11. It is recommended that all equipment be labeled with the owner's name and a current 24-hour telephone contact <br /> number,(service agency is acceptable). <br /> 12. Every effort should be made to protect the equipment from lightening damage. Feed-through lightning <br /> protectors should be used on all coaxial cable connections to equipment enclosures. Gas, Gap, MOV and <br /> Silicone Avalanche Diode (SAD) protectors should be used in control, audio, telephone, and power <br /> connections. <br /> INTERFERENCE POLICY STATEMENT <br /> In the event Radio Interference(RI)occurs,all users of the site are required to participate in solving the problem by <br /> providing technical personnel and test equipment to locate the source of the specific problem. If these standards are <br /> complied with,additional isolators,filters,cavities,etc.,may be required. All equipment must be maintained in good <br /> working order and meet original manufacturer's and FCC specifications for reduction of transmitter spurious radiation. <br /> In the event radio interference(RI)occurs,and these standards are complied with,additional isolators,filters,cavities, <br /> etc.may be required to correct specific problems. <br /> Involved systems, not in full compliance with these standards, will be asked to comply immediately at their own <br /> expense. <br /> It is customary for the offending transmitter owner/operator to finance the required corrections of equipment necessary <br /> to correct the problem. It is also good practice to allow the affected receiver owner/operator to provide the necessary <br /> equipment(if one so chooses) for installation by the offender without surrendering ownership of the equipment and <br /> expect its use to be uninterrupted,i.e.,not taken out of service without notifying the owner. <br /> The PCS industry is developing the 2.0 Ghz band. It is unknown at this time what interference may be expected or <br /> caused and what products will be available for interference mitigation. Policies and standards will be developed by <br /> this committee as needed. <br /> These are minimum standards of good engineering practice in the operation and maintenance of electronic sites. These <br /> standards will be revised as deemed necessary by the committee. <br /> Page 21 of 21 <br />
