Outdoor installation
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
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
• Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should
climb the antenna mast
• Only qualified professional personnel should install or dismantle
ODUs and masts
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.
3. Refer also to for detailed ODU mounting kit contents and schematics.
