Installing the station
To install the 3160 in a mobile or fixed station:
1 Attach the transceiver cradle or the power supply cover
to an appropriate mounting surface according to any
relevant standards and approvals.
1 Connect an earth strap to a convenient location on the
bodywork or earth system for the building using the
25 mm long, self-tapping, pan pozi screw provided.
1 Connect the antenna to the transceiver (see the fitting
instructions provided with the mounting cradle and or
equipment).
1 Protect any cables that pass through metal panels with
rubber grommets.
1 Tape the connectors on the antenna, and approximately
25 mm (1 in) of each cable, with two layers of self-
amalgamating PIB tape (Rotunda 2501) or EPR tape (3M
Scotch™ 23).
1 Cover the self-amalgamating tape with two layers of
high-quality electrical tape (3M Scotch™ 33+, or
similar) to minimise aging of the self-amalgamating tape.
1 Test the installed 3160 (with connected transceiver) as
described in the Reference Manual provided with your
transceiver.
NOTE
In a mobile station, you may need to use a
mounting setup that absorbs vibration.
NOTE
Ensure a good electrical connection is
made.
NOTE
Troubleshooting for a 3160 and how to
install a transceiver are provided in the
Reference Manual.
