APPENDIX B BRU-100 In This Appendix: Warnings and Cautions, page 50, page 51 Check List, page 57 This appendix provides guidance for the physical installation of the BRU-100 Remote Unit at a subscriber s premise. 1107138-01 Pre-Production 49
App. B BRU-100 Warnings and Cautions Remote Unit Installation Warnings and Cautions You must adhere to the instructions in this manual to ensure proper operation of the BRU-100 Remote Unit. Aspects of the installation process that require special attention are listed here. Warning: Overhead power lines can cause serious injury. The outdoor unit is installed in an elevated location. Be very careful that the unit, wiring, and any guy wires do not contact overhead power lines. Warning: Maintain a safe distance between the anatenna and all persons. This device is a radio frequency transmitter. It is required to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for transmitting devices. A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) or more must be maintained between the antenna and all persons during device operations to ensure compliance with the FCC's rules for Radio Frequency Exposure. If this minimum distance cannot be maintained, exposure to RF levels that exceed the FCC's limits may result. This equipment must not be co-located with any other transmitting antenna. Caution: Adequate grounding helps prevent lightning damage. An adequate ground wire (10 AWG minimum) must be installed between the outdoor unit and an earth ground. Refer to section 810 of the National Electrical Code. The outdoor unit is an elevated metal object that will attract lightning. Proper grounding provides a path for lightning that minimizes potential damage to the BRU-100. Caution: BRU-100 components are not serviceable in the field. The outdoor unit, power injector, and power adapter are not serviceable in the field and must not be opened. If any of these components become non-operational they must be replaced. 50 Pre-Production 1107138-01
Remote Unit Installation App. B BRU-100 This section provides instructions for installing the BRU-100 hardware at the subscriber s premise. Observe the warnings and cautions from the previous section. See the section Installation Details on page 55 for additional instructions. The physical installation progresses in steps while using the installation tool described in Chapter 2. Note: Perform the status checks in the Step 3 window of the installation tool (page 17) before proceeding with the physical installation described here. Hardware Installation Step 1 Attach the azimuth/elevation bracket to the back of the outdoor unit using the four supplied #10 screws. Connector ODU 004 Azimuth/Elevation Bracket Figure B-1 Outdoor Unit Azimuth/Elevation Bracket Step 2 Determine the direction to the nearest base station with Step 4 of the installation tool. 1107138-01 Pre-Production 51
ODU 011 App. B BRU-100 Remote Unit Installation Step 3 Examine the subscriber s premise and select a potential outdoor unit location considering all of these factors: Obstacles in the immediate vicinity that could severely attenuate the RF path. Consider foliage that changes density with the seasons. Direction to the base station Feasible outdoor unit mounting locations Ground rod or Earth ground points Subscriber s equipment locations in the building Cable routing. 91 meters (300 ft) maximum combined cable length from outdoor unit to host computer. Step 4 Mount the outdoor unit on a tripod, or hold it, near the mounting location and check for adequate signal strength with Step 5 of the Installation Tool.

Remote Unit Installation App. B BRU-100 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Permanently mount the outdoor unit. Install the mounting bracket and pole of your choice. The pole must be plumb vertical. Use a level at two points 90 around the pole to ensure it is plumb. Aim the antenna for maximum signal strength, as indicated with the installation tool. Complete all the steps in the installation tool program, described in Chapter 2. Tighten all fasteners on the azimuth/elevation bracket and install pole lock screws. See the section Installation Details on page 55 for reference. Mounting Bracket and Pole Place level in two positions to verify plumb vertical.
