4.1 Radio Compatibility
Ensure that the radio selected is compatible with PM 5000. PM 5000 is only compat-
ible with PM-BSR-33, PM-BSR-35, PM-BSR-58. It is not compatible with PM-BSR-33x
or PM-BSR-35x. Use of PM 5000 with these radios can result in damage to the radio.
4.2 Installing the Antenna
Locate and install the antenna as close as possible to where you will mount the Base
Station Radio.
Various antenna mounting systems can be used for the PacketMax System base sta-
tion. Use one mounting system appropriate for your particular antenna, and follow the
manufacturer’s directions to install.
NOTE: If the antenna mounting system has a directional aspect (for example, a six-
sided antenna mast), be sure to consider the physical sector locations when installing.
WARNING: Be sure that the antenna mounting system is appropriate for the
weights and wind-resistance of all of the antennas and radios to be
installed on it, and for local environmental conditions.
WARNING: Outdoor installation procedures should be performed by quality pro-
fessionals following all safety and other requirements and acting in
accordance with standard practices and procedures. Failure to meet
safety requirements and/or non-standard practices and procedures
could result in personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
