Steel Pole Installation Using Steel Banding
CAUTION! Always wear safety goggles when working with metal banding and when using tensioning
tools.
CAUTION! This section describes how to secure a PRU to a steel pole using steel bands. In high
earthquake risk areas, CommScope advises in addition to banding, bolts should be used
redundantly to ensure mechanical mounting capable of surviving severe seismic activity.
Typical areas where this attachment method are suggested are Earthquake Risk Zone 4, per
Bellcore GR-63-CORE, section 4.4.1.1. If you have application specific questions, consult the
Wireless Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for technical assistance (see "DCCS Global
Technical Support” on page 119). For information on bolting, see "Pole Mount Installation
Using Bolts” on page 46.
