Installing the Outdoor Unit

The following sections describe how to install the outdoor units, including pole
mounting the ODU, and connecting the indoor-to-outdoor, grounding and RF
cables.
NOTE
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly installed to eliminate
any physical hazard to either people or property. Make sure that the installation of the outdoor unit,
antenna and cables is performed in accordance with all relevant national and local building and
safety codes. Even where grounding is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and
national codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the antenna mast
(when using external antenna) are grounded and suitable lightning protection devices are used so
as to provide protection against voltage surges and static charges. In any event, Alvarion is not
liable for any injury, damage or regulation violations associated with or caused by installation,
grounding or lightning protection.
2.3.1

Pole Mounting the Outdoor Unit

The Outdoor Unit can be mounted on a pole using one of the following options:
Special brackets and open-ended bolts are supplied with each unit. There are
two pairs of threaded holes on the back of the unit, enabling the special
brackets to be mounted on diverse pole widths.
Special grooves on the sides of the unit enable the use of metal bands to
secure the unit to a pole. The bands must be 9/16 inches wide and at least 12
inches long. The metal bands are not included with the installation package.
Figure 2-1 shows the locations of the holes and band grooves on the back, top
and bottom of the Outdoor Unit.
NOTE
Be sure to install the unit with the bottom panel, which includes the LED indicators, facing
downward.
