4-3 Mounting the Link CX
The Link CX radio is a sealed unit that installs on a pole. When the Link CX is equipped with an integral
antenna, there is no need to install an external antenna. When the Link CX is equipped with an external
antenna, you will mount the Link CX as described in this section, then you will install the optional
external antenna as described in Section 4-4.
After completing the configuration steps in Section 4-2, continue with the following steps to mount the
Link CX on a pole.
4-3.1 Installing the Link CX Mounting Bracket
25 Install the pole-mount bracket as described in the appropriate section below.
A pole is not supplied with the Link CX and should be in place before
attempting installation.
The body performing the installation is the responsible for preventing
any contact or induction with mains lines at any voltage.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, antennas used with
Link CXs must be rigidly mounted on permanent outdoor structures to
provide 2 m (79 in.) or more separation from all persons during Link CX
operation. Installers should refer to Table 3-2 when installing
factory-supplied antennas, or the contact the customer-supplied
antenna manufacturer for applicable gain and type restrictions to
ensure compliance.
When the Link CX is to be installed with an external antenna, make sure
that the Link CX and the antenna are mounted close enough to use the
factory-supplied 2 m (6.5 ft.) RF cable to connect them. Also make sure
that the Link CX and external antenna are not so close that they
interfere with each other during antenna alignment.
