1.1.1 Field Installation
After basic software configuration is complete, the units can be deployed in the field. Installation requires
these tools:
- 1/2-inch open-end wrench
- 7/16-in open-end wrench
- 3/8-inch open-end wrench
- Phillips screwdriver
- Channel-lock or slip-joint pliers
- RJ-45 crimping tool and male plug
- Waterproofing tape or mastic for RF connections.
The assembly must be grounded. If the mast is not already properly grounded, you will need appropriate
grounding hardware. Consult local codes.
Refer to “Chapter 4 Antenna Installation” on page 14 for complete installation instructions.
