ODU mechanical installation
Use the mounting bracket that came with the ODU to install it. Use these
guidelines to install the ODU:
• The ODU must be installed within six feet of the antenna, or within reach
of the 6 ft LMR-600 cable provided (see Figure 10 on page 32). This
cable is very rigid and requires sufficient bending radius.
• The mounting clamp is designed to secure the ODU to a pole or mast, and
should be installed immediately below the antenna.
• The ODU must be installed with its connectors pointing towards the
ground. See Figure 10 on page 32 for an example of a properly installed
ODU.
To mount the ODU:
1 Install the mounting bracket to the pole or mast.
2 Install the side plates to the mounting bracket. (This ensures correct
vertical spacing).
3 Open the ODU front cover and mount the unit to the side plates using the
mounting screws.
4 Secure the front cover of the weatherproof cabinet using the fastening tool
provided with the system. Use of this tool prevents unauthorized access to
the enclosure.
See Figure 7 for a detailed view of installing the ODU mounting bracket to
the pole or mast.
