Selecting a position for the ODU (connectorized)
If the ODU is connectorized, select a mounting position that gives it maximum
protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for connecting and
weatherproofing the cables. To minimize cable losses, select a position where the
antenna cable lengths can be minimized.
Mounting the ODU
To mount the ODU, proceed as follows:
1
Attach the ODU bracket strap to the pole using M8 x 70 mm bolts, M8
flat washers and M8 coil washers.
Tighten to ensure the assembly grips, but can be adjusted on the pole.
2
Use the integral safety loop (Figure 5-1) to hoi
st the ODU up to the
bracket, observing the precautions described in Checks and safety
pre
cautions on page 5-5.
3
When the ODU is in position, use the safety loop as a fixing point to
secure a permanent safety lanyard from the supporting structure to the
ODU, as a precaution against mounting failure.
