After preparing the OBR5000B for pole mounting, hold the OBR5000B against the pole at the desired height then place the Pole Catch Bracket onto the opposite side as shown in Figure 2-4. Fasten a lock washer and nut onto all four carriage bolts and tighten until the OBR5000B is suitably secured in place.
Once the OBR5000B is mounted to the pole, the elevation angle may be adjusted as necessary and the unit may be connected to the network via a CAT5E cable with a standard RJ45 connector on one end and a special Molex® backshell with RJ45 connector on the other end.
2.3 Attaching the External Antenna The OBR5000B is equipped with two type N connectors (female) at the bottom of the housing where a user can attach one or two optional external antennas. Only one antenna can be active at a time and the user sets the active antenna through the web-based interface (see 3.5 Configuring the Radio, on page 7). The active antenna can have either horizontal or vertical polarization.
2.3.1 Water Proof the Connection Wrapping the antenna connection with sealing tape keeps the connection tight and protects against moisture. To water proof the connection follow these steps: Step 1 Use a section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the OBR5000B end, stretch the tape and wrap it around the connector as close as possible to the body of the OBR5000B. Overlap the tape by approximately onehalf of its width so that it can form a seal with itself.
2.4 Installing the Grounding Apparatus Install the grounding apparatus to protect the OBR5000B from lightning strikes and power surges. Ground the base station to the earth ground to protect from lightning strikes. Use the surge suppressor to shunt to ground any over-voltage [>60 V] transients that may be induced on the CAT5E cablefeed via lightning or other high voltages. 2.
2.4.1 Bitzschutz In der OBR5000B ist ein Blitzschutz integriert, um das Gerät vor Beschädigung durch Blitzschläge zu schützen. Montieren der OBR5000B-Basisstationserdung Bringen Sie die Erdungsvorrichtung am Erdungsanschluss an der Basisstation an.
Grounding the Base Station Vecima requires that the OBR5000B be connected to the tower grounding system as shown in Figure 2-12. *URXQG &RQQHFWLRQ &RQQHFW WR 7RZHU *URXQGLQJ 6\VWHP PLQLPXP $:* ZLUH 2%5 % 5($5 $ EROW IRU FRQQHFWLQJ WKH JURXQGLQJ ZLUH WR WKH 2%5 % LV LQFOXGHG Figure 2-12 Grounding the OBR5000B CAUTION Vecima Networks requires that the CAT5E cable to the OBR5000B is connected to a lightning surge protector at the entrance to the building, prior to connection

2.4.2 Power Surge Protection Use the surge suppressor to protect your equipment and secure your data from power surges. To connect the Cablefeed Shield to the Surge Suppressor Ground Lug 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the suppressor unit cover. Thread the Ethernet cable through the right side opening to the suppressor. Measure five (5) inches from the end of the cable that you threaded through the right side opening. Lightly score the cable at the five inch mark. Carefully slice the edge of the insulation.
