4 Installing the RNU4000BS BS
After commissioning the RNU4000BS BS, the unit is ready for installation.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
• Choosing the installation location and mounting the BS on a pole or on a wall
• For models with external RF antennas, mounting the RF antennas in the appropriate
locations
• Mounting the GPS antennas in the appropriate locations
• Connecting the RF antenna to the BS
• Assembling the GPS antennas to the BS using the provided bracket
• Connecting Ground, Power and ETH cables to the BS
• Performing an End-to-End traffic test
4.1 Mounting the Base Station
The RNU4000BS BS is provided with a mounting kit which includes all the mounting
elements (e.g. mounting-bracket, torques, screws etc.). The BS can be mounted either on a
pole or on a wall.
Note: The same mounting bracket is used for the wall and the pole installation.
When mounting the BS, note the following
• The RNU4000BS BS is typically installed in an upright vertically aligned position with the
power, Ethernet and GPS connectors facing DOWN.
• The RNU4000BS BS should be installed on the rear side of the RF antenna to prevent
self-reflections.
4.1.1 BS Installation Location
This section describes the criteria that should be considered when selecting the RNU4000BS
BS installation location. The BS can be mounted on either a pole or a wall.
To choose BS Installation location
• Verify that the pole/wall location corresponds to the site plan and takes into account
local regulations and maintenance access.
• The unit should be mounted in the highest possible point. Reception will increase
according to the height of the antennas.
• The diameter of the pole on which the base station and antenna are to be mounted is
either:
• 1.00-1.75” or
• 1.75-3.00”
• Verify that the pole is properly grounded.
• Verify that the pole has lightening protection.
• Verify that there is safe access to the pole, free of any obstacles or other danger for
installers of the RNU4000BS BS.
