INSTALLINGRAUS

CAUTION! InstallRAUsinindoorlocationsonly.Donotconnectanantennathatisinstalledinanoutdoor

locationtoanRAU.Foroutdoorinstallations,aprotectiveenclosureisrequired.

NOTE: Thefollow

ingprocedures assume thatthesystemis newfrom the factoryand thatitha s not

beenprogrammedwithbands.Ifyouarereplacingcomponentsinapre‐installedsystemwith

either new units or units that may already be program med (for example, re‐using units from

anothersystem),referto“ReplacingFu

sionWidebandComponents”onpage175.

MountallRAUsinthelocationsmarkedonthefloorplans.

• Install

800iDENand850/1900MHzRAUssothattheirantennaswillbeseparatedbyenough

spacetoreducesignalinterferencebetweenthe800and850bands.Referto“800/850MHz

IsolationRequirements”onpage134forrecommendeddistan

cebetweenantennas.

• You

canplacetheunit,withoutitsfasteninghardware,onaflatsurface,suchasashelf,desk,

cabinet,oranyotherhorizontalsurfacethatallowsstableplacementwiththemountingbase

facingdowntothemountingsurface.Formountingtootherlocations(thatis,walls,ceilings,

poles)theRAUmustbesecurelymountedusingthe4slottedmountingholesprovidedwith

#6diameterfasteners.Thismethodofmountingmustsecurelyholdaminimumof7lbs.load.

• Attachthe

RAUsecurelytoastationaryobject(thatis,awall,pole,orceilingtile).

• Forproperventilation:

– Keepatleast

76mm(3in.)clearancearoundtheRAUtoensureproperventing.

– DonotstackRAUsontopofeacho

ther.

– Alwa

ysmounttheRAUwiththesolidface(containingthemountingholes)againstthe

mountingsurface.

Refertothemanufacturer’sinstalla

tioninstructionstoinstallpassiveantennas.

Location

Passiveantennasareusuallyinstalledbelowtheceiling.Iftheyareinstalledabovetheceiling,you

mustconsidertheadditionallossduetotheceilingmaterialwhenestimatingtheantenna

coveragearea.
