Installing the Base Station
To install a LPU on a wall adjacent to an IDU (PoE or IDU‐H):
1. Use the supplied wall
clamp to mount the
second LPU as close
as possible to the
indoor access point
to the IDU.
2. Ground the LPU to
an earth strip using
the grounding lug.
3. Remove the top
cable LPU gland cap
together with the
rubber sealing tube.
4. Thread the IDU cable
from the upper LPU, through the removed cap from the previous step.
5. Plug it in to the top of the LPU.
6. Screw down and tighten the LPU cap.
7. Connect the 0.5 m CAT‐5e cable to the Bottom of the LPU.
8. Connect the other end (via the indoor access point) to the IDU.
9. Insulate both LPU connections. See the next section, Additional Considerations for
Waterproofing

Lightning Protectors and Ethernet Repeaters
If these units are installed at locations heavily exposed to heavy dust, rain or corrosive
moisture (for example, close to the sea), you should protect them further as in the following
procedure. In the remainder of this section, "unit" refers to either a Lightning Protection Unit
or a Repeater.
To seal a unit against excessive dust and moisture:
1. Obtain a high quality sealing material such as Scotch 23 Tape ¾" wide, from 3M to
ensure IP‐67 compliant protection against water and dust.
2. Cut two pieces each 25 cm long, of Scotch 23 splicing tape. Remove the plastic cover
to expose the tacky side of the sealing tape as shown in Figure
RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual
below.
