8 Installing and using the Expedience OSU
After finding the strongest signal from the service provider, tighten all the bolts on the
mounting bracket assembly. When the screws are fully tightened, the OSU will no longer
move sideways, nor up and down.
Attach the OSU and mounting bracket assembly to the outside
of the building
1 Where possible, install the OSU on the side of the building that has the greatest exposure
to the communications tower of the service provider.
The service provider can provide information about tower locations that can provide the
OSU with greatest signal exposure.
2 In the place on the wall where you want to hang the OSU, drill holes into the building’s
exterior.
• Drill the two top holes 2.5 inches apart. Drill the bottom holes 2.5 inches below the top
holes. Figure 5 provides a pattern for drilling the holes.
• If possible, drill one upper hole and its corresponding lower hole into a stud. Do not
allow the OSU to be supported by the building’s siding only.
• If installing the OSU on a brick or masonry surface, use appropriate anchors.
3 After the holes are drilled into the building, drive the screws through the holes on the wall
bracket and into the building.
As you attach the bracket assembly to the wall, make sure the bottom of the OSU is
pointing toward the ground. The bottom of the OSU is the side with the five lights, and
the grounding lug. The OSU must be installed vertically.
Fastening the OSU and mounting bracket assembly to a pole
If you are fastening the OSU to a pole, add the pole clamp to the assembly.
1 Insert the large hex bolt, the large split washer, and the large washer through the holes on
the clamp.
2 Place the clamp around the pole.
3 Align the screw assembly with the center holes on the wall bracket.
