Mounting Strategies - ABB Tropos 6410 Installation Manual

Mounting Strategies

When choosing mounting locations, consider the available mounting structures and antenna
clearance. The router should always be mounted with the top of the unit horizontal and level and
with the antennas facing upward.
It is usually best to attach ground and data cables to the router prior to mounting. Before
mounting the router, review the wiring instructions in
"Connecting Data and Power Cables"
location.
Note
To eliminate potential interference from the mounting structure, the router should be mounted
with at least 4 feet of clearance around the antennas.
Acceptable options for mounting on a streetlight are shown in
mounted to assure clearance for the antennas above the height of the streetlight.
