Installing a node and antenna assembly
The process to install a node to a mast or tower is the same as a roof installation.
Note:
Collect and take all tools and materials with you to the installation site.
Warning!
Do not install this product on a windy or rainy day.
To install a node and antenna assembly in a permanent outdoor location:
1.
Safely lift and carefully put the assembly on the roof.
2. Attach the pole to which the node and antenna are attached to a mast,
tower, or roof.
- Attach the cables that have integrated lightning arrestors, or attach
the cables and install lightning arrestors.
- Make drip loops with cables.
- Install all grounding equipment. See “Grounding a HotPort node.”
3. Make all connectors weatherproof. See the
Firetide Best Practices Guide
.
Caution.
Do not use the 12 VDC power supply from a HotPort 7020 mesh
node to power a HotPort 5020 node. The HotPort 5020 needs power
from a PoE+ (802.3at compliant) or 15 VDC power supply.
