Attaching a Companion base station
Install base stations on a wall or on a ceiling. When installing base stations on a wall, install them
with their covers at the bottom, as shown in Figure 67 on page 185. Allow for clearances around
the base station as indicated in Table 42.
To install a base station:
1 Fasten the bracket into position using two #8 38-mm (1-1/2 in.) screws.
2 Route the cable from the BCM1000 through the top or bottom opening.
3 Wind any excess cable around the posts, then fasten the cable under the strain relief.
4 Connect the wires to the BIX connector on the bracket termination board as shown in Figure
66.
