CPE installation

recommended procedures and in accordance with the National Electric Code and local

ordinances.

Note: The CPE accommodates a mounting pipe with of 1-1/4” to 2-3/8” in diameter and the CPE

and mounting pipe require a minimum of 12 inches clearance on all sides for optimal performance.

Note: The CPE should be located as close to the edge of the building nearest the hub as possible.

When the CPE is mounted towards the middle or back of the building, the incoming wireless signal

may be reflected by the rooftop impairing the performance of the link. The CPE must be placed

high enough on the rooftop to provide the required Fresnel zone clearance (Fresnel zone =

blockage free zone).

Affix the CPE mounting mast

)Referring to Figure 4-3, loosen the "Side/side alignment bolts and slide the CPE over the

mounting pipe. Visually align the CPE in the direction of the Hub and snug the side/side

alignment bolts to hold the CPE in place.
