Mounting the Base Station
The Compact DECT Base Station (CDBS) is supplied with a plug top PSU
fitted with 2mtrs of cable that terminates in a modular plug. Screws and
fixings, for wall mounting the CDBS, are also supplied. A CDBS can be
placed up to 1Km from the MDF.
Correct positioning of the Base Station is vital to the performance of
the whole system. Before installing the CDBS, ensure that you have
accurate plans for its location (
see
Site Surveys
on page 6
).
To mount the CDBS, perform the following:
1. Check the proposed position of the CDBS and ensure that:
– A mains power supply is within 2 metres.
– The distance between the Coms. Platform and the CDBS is within
1Km.
– There is a minimum of 200mm's clearance on all sides of the CDBS.
2. Turn the CDBS over onto it's back and remove the top cover by releasing
the four retaining tags clips (one in each corner).

retaining pillars
3. Remove the PCB by removing the securing screw and sliding the PCB
up and out from the retaining lugs. Put the PCB in a secure place.
4. Use the CDBS base as a template to mark the required holes.
Ensure
that the CDBS is level. Drill and insert the wall fixings for the No.6 round-
head screws for all three holes. Insert the top two screws only, leaving
the heads 5mm from the wall surface. Do not secure the CDBS to the
wall (using another No. 6 screw in the third hole) until all cabling has
been completed.
5. Break-out the appropriate cable entry point and run a sufficient length (to
reach retaining block with a minimum of 5cm spare) of twisted pair cable
into the CDBS base. Secure cable, using clear plastic cable clamp and
screws provided, to appropriate retaining pillars.
6. Mount the CDBS onto the screw heads, using the key-slots at the back of
the base station, and secure with a No. 6 screw in the third hole.
