5 Install MacroMAXe
Install the MacroMAXe base station by pole mount, wall mount, or single point. The MacroMAXe can
be deployed as a remote radio head (RRH) connected to a pair of single (usually vertically polarized)
or single dual independently mounted antennas via standard RF coaxial cables. Antennas are
positioned with up to 10 wavelengths horizontal separation to give optimal Downlink and Uplink MIMO
performance.
5.1 Pole mount configuration
The following image shows the pole mount assembly.
Figure10–PoleMountedMacroMAXeAssembly
To mount the MacroMAXe in the pole mount configuration (for poles 120 > 230 mm), perform
the following steps:
1. Attach the two (2) PM-323 pole straps to the pole at the heights required to attach the
MacroMAXe.
2. Fasten the mounting brackets to the pole straps; position the tabbed strap lower on the pole
with the tab facing down.
3. Lift the enclosure and place the screws through the head clearance holes and position the
unit so that the top mounting holes retain the unit.
Caution: This unit weighs 17 kg, take care when lifting.
4. Screw the bottom two the M8 screws and washers into the two standoff fittings at the bottom
of the MacroMAXe enclosure.
5. Attach Base Station and loosely tighten all screws.
6. Tighten all fixing screws.
