1. About This Document

The Outdoor Base Station is designed to withstand environmental hazards such as rain
and excessive heat and cold. The outdoor enclosure is mounted into position and the Base
Station is then installed within it. The entire unit is then referred to as an Outdoor Base
Station.
This document covers the installation of the Outdoor Base Station in a variety of
situations. It supplements the installation documentation for the Link Wireless Telephone
System (Link WTS) using either the Link 3000 MCU (see Link WTS – Link 3000:
Installation) or the Link 150 MCU (see Link WTS – Link 150: Installation). Refer to
these documents for SpectraLink notes and disclaimers, UL information, FCC
information, and Industry Canada (IC) notice.

2. Installing Flush Against a Wall or Hard
Ceiling
Note concerning shielded cable:
SpectraLink recommends the use of shielded cable for all external signal
connections in order to maintain FCC Part 15 emissions requirements.
When installing Base Stations outside or in buildings other than the one
containing the System Controller, take the following precaution:
If wiring for a Base Station exits a building—whether to reach an outdoor
Base Station location or to reach a Base Station in another building—the
wiring must be protected at both ends by a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois
Tool Works, Linx Division, model number SCP-2X2. The Quick Clip
Fuse replaces the bridging clips on the 66 blocks for all four connections
to the non-internal Base Station.
Items provided: Outdoor enclosure, Base Station
Items Needed: 4 anchor bolts (length and type depends on wall or ceiling material
Base Station is being mounted to)
1. Mark and drill four holes into the wall or ceiling, using the mounting flanges of
the outdoor enclosure as a guide.
2. Mount outdoor enclosure to wall or ceiling using anchor bolts. The outdoor
enclosure can be mounted with the compression fitting in any direction.
