6.2 Mount Base Stations On Finished Ceilings
If this site does not have a dropped tile ceiling, the Base Station can be mounted to a
finished ceiling or wall with a 4 to 5” long 1/4” -20 TPI plastic or nylon screw or
bolt (such as a lag screw).
The customer’s wire contractor is responsible for this installation.
1. Drill two holes approximately 1” apart. Make the holes large enough to
accommodate the RJ-45 connector and a bolt to secure the Base Station.
2. Insert a wide washer above the ceiling, then screw the bolt into the beam or
ceiling.
3. Insert three nuts on the bolt, then screw the Base Station into the bolt, being
careful not to insert the bolt more than 1/3”, five full turns, into the Base
Station.
If the ceiling is open with I-beams or pipe construction, mount the Base Station with
I-beam clamps or pipe clamps.
6.3 Install Outdoor Base Stations
Outdoor Base Stations (RCO400) are equipped with a protective enclosure, designed
to be mounted to a wall or pole. After the enclosure is mounted, the Base Station is
inserted in the enclosure and connected.
The customer’s wire contractor is responsible for wiring and mounting the outdoor
Base Station enclosure. The contractor is responsible for supplying screws, brackets,
and other appropriate hardware.
If the wiring between the MCS300 and the telephone system leaves the
building, consult the telephone system manual, the NEC, and local codes
for instructions on providing lightning and other over-current protection.
Wire Outdoor Base Stations
If the wiring for a Base Station exits a building—whether to reach an outdoor Base
Station location or to reach a Base Station in another building—it should be
equipped with primary protection according to the NEC and/or local codes.
Wiring that exits the building must also be protected at both ends by a
Quick Clip Fuse from Reliable Electric, part number RSCP-2. Insert the
Quick Clip fuses in place of bridging clips on a 66 block for the non-
internal Base Station circuits.
Mount and Connect Outdoor Base Stations
1. Mount the outdoor Base Station enclosure to a wall or pole. The enclosure
should be attached at the highest point available that will provide central
coverage for the outdoor area.
