Failure to do so may void the WBS-2400/5800 product warranty and may expose the end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Wavion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.
Chapter 4 Installing the Wavion WBS-2400/5800 Metro Base Station This guide explains how to safely install the Wavion WBS-2400/5800 Metro Base Station. The following topics are covered in this chapter: Important Safety Instructions on page • Preparing for Installation on page •...
Warning: Risk of personal injury or death when installing this device! There is a risk of personal injury or death if the WBS-2400/5800antennas come near electric power lines. Carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual. By nature of the installation, you may be exposed to hazardous environments and high voltage.
Caution The WBS-2400/5800must be installed only with the equipped antennas. Caution A minimum distance of 40cm from the WBS-2400/5800X's antenna should be kept when the system is operated. Caution Read and save these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions...
100 meters. 4. An appropriate ground cable should be available. Connect a grounding cable between the Ground terminal of the outdoor unit and a good ground connection. Please refer to standards for building entrance protection. Wavion Networks...
The sun shield plate is installed with 6 screws (supplied with the sun shield) attaching it from the top at the special threaded screw holes. Power Source Options The WBS-2400/5800 is powered by a Wavion POE Injector connected ETH port of the unit. See Installation Accessories on page for details.
It is recommended to attach ground and data cables to the WBS-2400/5800 prior to mounting. Before mounting the WBS-2400/5800, read the wiring instructions in...
Example Mounting Locations on a Streetlight Using Hose Clamps Special hose clamps that include threaded holes are used by the mounting assembly to secure the WBS-2400/5800 to the mounting structure. Figure 4.3 demonstrate how to correctly use the hose clamps. The bands must be threaded through holes in the pole bracket, and then attached to either a vertical or a horizontal pole and tightened.
Figure 4.3 Using Special Hose Clamps & Screwing the Clamps Mounting on a Pole/Streetlight WBS-2400/5800 can be mounted on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is recommended to mount the WBS-2400/5800 on aluminum or galvanized steel structures. Note The Wavion WBS-2400/5800 must be mounted with the top of the unit parallel with the ground and with the antennas pointing upward.

To mount the Wavion WBS-2400/5800 on a metal/wood/streetlight pole: 1. Choose a mounting location. You can attach the WBS-2400/5800 outdoor unit to any pole or pipe with diameter of 3-10 inches. Wooden poles of larger diameter require different types of clamps (any streetlight arm with diameter of 3 to 10 inches will fit for this installation).
Figure 4.5 Attaching the WBS-2400/5800 to the pole bracket Note : The WBS-2400/5800 unit must be parallel to the ground. The unit can be rotated to obtain the correct position. Note Installations on large wooden poles require band clamps such as those supplied by Panduit, www.panduit.com.
: Transient or electrostatic discharges that may occur at the WBS- 2400/5800, for example a lightning strike, may damage your network equipment connected to the WBS-2400/5800 and cause personnel injury or death of persons touching the exposed metal connectors of the equipment.

Figure 4.9 Grounding injector that located outdoor by Network Protection Unit Connecting Antennas This section explains how to connect the six antennas to the WBS-2400/5800X. In order for the WBS-2400/5800 to work properly, six antennas must be connected. Screw each of the 6 antennas into the N-Type connectors on the WBS-2400/5800.
You will most likely damage the antenna. The successful insertion of six antennas should look as follows. Connecting Power and DATA The following describes how to apply power and data to the WBS-2400/5800X Caution : You must always install an external grounding wire. Perform a simple continuity check between the WBS-2400/5800and the ground termination point to confirm.
