Site Evaluation
Before you begin the actual installation of your LibraPlus equipment, you need to make
certain that your equipment site is acceptable and has been properly prepared.
5.3.1 LibraPlus 5860 Site Considerations
When making your decisions about the mounting location, you need to consider issues
such as its proximity to the power inserter, cable lengths between the LibraPlus radio
and the power inserter, and so on.
You should f irst inspect the site to verify that the antenna mounting structure is
suitable for both the antenna and LibraPlus radio. The LibraPlus 5860 needs to be
positioned in a location that allows for easy maintenance access. You also must review
routes that the cables will follow, when connecting the power inserter to the LibraPlus
5860.
