5.5 Install Outdoor Base Stations
Outdoor Base Stations are equipped with a protective enclosure, designed to be mounted to
a wall or pole. After the enclosure is mounted, the Base Station is inserted in the enclosure
and connected.
!!
Only RCO Base Stations can be used outdoors.
The customer's wire contractor is responsible for wiring and mounting the outdoor Base
Station enclosure. The contractor is responsible for supplying screws, brackets, and other
appropriate hardware.
Wire and Connect Outdoor Base Stations
If the wiring for a Base Station exits a building—whether to reach an
outdoor Base Station location or to reach a Base Station in another
building—it should be equipped with primary protection according to the
National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes.
Wiring that exits the building must also be fuse protected at both ends. For
example, use a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division,
model number SCP-2X2. Insert the Quick Clip fuses in place of bridging
clips on a 66 Block for the non-internal Base Station circuits.
1. Mount the outdoor Base Station enclosure to a wall or pole. The enclosure should
be attached at the highest point available that will provide central coverage for the
outdoor area.
2. Insert the Base Station cable through the compression fitting and tighten the
fitting.
3. Wire the Base Station connector just as you wired the RJ-45 connectors for the
indoor Base Stations.
4. Place the Base Station inside the enclosure with the part number label facing the
back of the enclosure.
5. Screw the protective cover onto the Base Station enclosure.
