Mounting The Odu; Mounting External Antennas - Radwin WinLink 1000 User Manual

Mounting the ODU

Mounting the ODU
The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wall. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit
is used to secure the ODU.
A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.
Note
A WinLink 1000 link operates in pairs of two ODUs with the same configuration. Both ODUs
must be installed, and the antennas aligned for maximum throughput.
Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw)
of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor
or to a grounded pole.
Warning

To mount the ODU on a pole or a wall:
1. Ensure that the ODU is properly grounded.
2. Mount the ODU onto the pole or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the
cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top, water may penetrate
into the unit causing damage.) It is possible to mount an ODU horizontally. See
Chapter 17
