Installing the RFU Outdoors
The outdoor RFU installation consists of these tasks:
▪ Installing the mounting brackets and mounting plate onto the pole (using two band clamps).
▪ Mounting and securing the RFU on the mounting plate.
Notes:
(1) Installing the RFU outdoors requires the use of the optional GX RF UNIT Outdoor Mounting Kit (Proxim part
ACC-GX-RF-2, item number 61688), sold separately. The GX RF UNIT Outdoor Mounting Kit contains the
items necessary for secure pole mounting of the RFU. See “Lynx.GX Spares and Accessories” for part
numbers and ordering information. If the RFU is mounted outdoors on both ends of the link, you must order
two outdoor mounting kits.
(2) To facilitate assembly, installing the carriage bolts to the top holes of the RFU can be partially completed on
the ground before being raised to the pole assembly.
Installing the Mounting Plate
1. Obtain the optional GX RF UNIT Outdoor Mounting Kit (Proxim part ACC-GX-RF-2, item number 61688).
2. Hold the mounting plate with the upper and lower V-cut tabs in contact with the pole.
3. Wrap a band clamp around pole/mast and through the vertical slots near the top of the mounting plate.
Repeat for lower slots.
4. Tighten both band clamps sufficiently to prevent the mounting plate from rotating on the pole/mast; you can
now mount the RFU onto the bracket assembly.
