4. Verify that the AP or BH is seeing and tracking satellites. (To generate the timing
pulse, the module must track at least 4 satellites.)

19.6 INSTALLING A CMMmicro
Ensure that you comply with standard local or national electrical and climbing procedures
when you install the CMMmicro.
19.6.1 CMMmicro Installation Temperature Range
Install the CMMmicro outside only when temperatures are above –4° F (–20° C). The
bulkhead connector and the bushings and inserts in the bulkhead connector are rated for
the full –40° to +131° F (–40° to +55° C) range of the CMMmicro. However, for dynamic
operations (loosening, tightening, and inserting), they are compliant at, and rated for, only
temperatures at or above –4° F (–20° C).
19.6.2 Recommended Tools for Mounting a CMMmicro
The following tools may be needed during installation:
◦ 3/8” nut driver
◦ 12” adjustable wrench
◦ 14-mm wrench for installation of pole-mounting brackets
◦ needle-nose pliers
19.6.3 Mounting a CMMmicro
Perform the following procedure to mount the CMMmicro.
Procedure 28: Mounting the CMMmicro
1. Ensure that the mounting position
◦ is not further than 328 feet (100 meters) from the furthest AP or BH that the
CMMmicro will serve.
◦ is not closer than 10 feet (3 meters) to the nearest AP or BH.
◦ is not further than 100 feet (30.5 meters) of cable from the intended mounting
position of the GPS antenna.
◦ allows you to fully open the door of the CMMmicro for service.
2. Select a support structure to which the flanges of the CMMmicro can be
mounted.
3. If the support structure is a wall, use screws or bolts (neither is provided) to
attach the flanges to the wall.
If the support structure is an irregular-shaped object, use adjustable stainless
steel bands (provided) to attach the CMMmicro to the object.
