Chapter 4. Installing the Base Station ODU Radio and Antenna
Figure 4-6 Attaching the Grounding Lug
Step 4. Mount the Base Station Radio
The PM-BSR-58 Radio comes with a handle that helps the technicians carry the radio
with ease while mounting the radio to the pole.
Keep the one Inner Mounting Bracket on one side of the pole and the Outer Mounting
Bracket on the other side of the pole. Then, Insert the screws through the bracket
holes and tighten the screws.
4.3.5 Using the BSR with the Antenna and IDU
Step 5. Connect the Base Station Radio to Antenna- RF Cable
Please follow Appendix C for further specifications on cabling requirements.
NOTE: To connect the radio to the antenna, Aperto recommends using a short LMR
600 Cable with Male Type-N connectors. The RF cable should be made as short as
possible (without sharp bends) to minimize cable RF attenuation. Aperto recom

mends applying a silicone sealant or other weatherproofing to the connections.
A. Remove safety cap from the RF Connector located at the back of the BSR.
B. Connect one end of a short coax cable (LMR-600 is recommended) to the RF
connector on the BS radio, as shown in
Figure 4-7.
C. Connect the other end of the short coax cable to the Type-N connector of the
antenna.
