4.3.2 Mounting the EUM3006
Pole Mounting Hardware
Once a good location for the modem has been selected, you need to provide a pole or pipe to
which the EUM3006 can be attached. This can be any pole from 1” to 3.0” diameter. If the pole
is vertical, it is easy to rotate (pan) the modem for the final alignment. The longitudinal axis
must be vertical or horizontal only.
The pole can be held by any standard mounting HW such as Satellite TV mounts. See the
WaveRider web site for suggestions regarding pole mounting hardware.
CAUTION: The Pole mounting hardware MUST BE SECURELY
FASTENED to structure (building, tower, etc.) and must be rated
to withstand the same or worse environmental conditions as the
EUM3006.
Orientation of the EUM3006
Before mounting the EUM3006 to the pole, the orientation of the modem must be determined.
The modem should be mounted vertically (i.e. Longitudinal or long axis mounted vertically
(see Figure 5)) unless the location makes vertical mounting difficult.
The advantages of vertically mounting the modem include:
• Easier to point the modem. Being vertically mounted, the pole mount can be closer to
other structures and still allow the modem to be pointed.
• Less exposure to wind and rain, since less cross section presented.
Attaching the EUM3006 to the Pole Mounting Hardware
Thread the Gear Clamps straps through the slots on the mounting plate before bolting it down
on to the EUM3006. There are two set of slots provided, the closer set are 1” apart and the
farther set are 2” apart. For poles up to 2 1/4” diameter, use the closer set. For poles of greater
than 2 1/4” diameter, use the farther set of slots. Do not use slots that are too far apart for the
diameter of the pole, otherwise there will be excessive bending of the mounting plate.
Bolt the mounting plate to EUM3006 using the bolts and lock washers provided, when the
clamps are in place and the orientation has been decided. Attach the grounding conductor to
the bolt for the hole marked “GND”. Tighten the bolts securely to 8-12 foot-pounds of torque.
CAUTION: The Ethernet cable outlet must be at the lower
position for either orientation. There are labels indicating which is
the top of the modem for vertical and horizontal mounting. Failure
to mount the modem with the correct side to the top will severely
reduce the weather protecting ability of the modem.
