Pole Mount Installation Using Bolts
CAUTION! This section describes how to secure a PRU to a wood pole using bolts. In high earthquake risk areas,
CommScope advises in addition to bolting, banding 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 124). For information on banding, see "Steel Pole Installation
Using Steel Banding” on page 43.
