CHAPTER 3 Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station This guide explains how to safely install the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station Important Safety Instructions WARNING: It is illegal to modify the construction of this product. Modifying the operating frequency or enhancing the transmit output power through the use of external amplifiers or other equipment is specifically disallowed by the “Telecommunications Act.” WARNING: This device is for outdoor or indoor use with conditions that no harmful interference to authorized radio stations results from the operation of this device.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station CAUTION: Only UL listed parts and components will be used for installation. Use UL listed devices having an environmental rating equal to or better than the enclosure rating to close all unfilled openings. CAUTION: To maintain Overvoltage (Installation) Category II, install a suitable surge suppressor device in the branch circuit to limit expected transients to Overvoltage Category II values.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station Choosing a Location The Wavion WBS-2400 is a radio device and susceptible to interference that can reduce throughput and range. To ensure the best performance follow these guidelines: • Direct line-of-sight operation is preferred. • It is recommend not to install the WBS-2400 near devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station CAUTION: You must always install an external grounding wire. You must also ground the outdoor data protection device to a bonded pipe or ground rod. Perform a simple continuity check between the WBS-2400 and the ground termination point to confirm. Make sure that grounding is complete before you connect power to the Wavion WBS-2400. Safety Precautions Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 can be very hazardous.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station Figure 3.1. Example Mounting Locations on a Streetlight Using Hose Clamps Hose clamps are used by the mounting assembly to secure the WBS-2400 to the mounting structure. Figure 3.2 demonstrates how to correctly use the hose clamps. The bands must be threaded through slots in the pole bracket, and then attached to either a vertical or a horizontal pole and tightened. There are three slots inside the pole bracket that can used to thread each hose clamp.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station Metal or Wood Pole Mounting Figure 3.3 shows the correct way to mount the Wavion WBS-2400 on an outdoor metal pole. Figure 3.4 shows the correct way to mount the Wavion WBS-2400 on an outdoor wooden pole. There is much similarity between the two installations. Metal pole installation requires that the antennas are higher than the top of the pole. This is not a requirement for wooden poles.
Installing the Wavion WBS-2400 Metro Base Station Figure 3.4. Mounting on a Wooden Pole To mount the Wav ion WBS-2400 on a met al or wood pole 1. Choose a mounting location. You can attach the WBS-2400 to any pole or pipe with diameter of 3-10 inches. Wooden poles of larger diameter require different types of clamps. 2. Slip the bands of the hose clamps through the inner slots of the pole bracket. Choose the slot that is appropriate for the diameter of the mast. 3.
