The 350 series bridge can be easily mounted to a wall using the mounting kit
and the mounting template supplied with the bridge
. The bridge
itself can be used as a template as well to mark any mounting holes. The kit
contains the following parts:
- Four #6 – #10 plastic wall anchors
- Four #8 x 0.88" sheet-metal screws
The bridge metal case provides adequate fire resistance and low
smoke-producing characteristics suitable for operation in the environmental air
space of a building, such as above suspended ceilings. These products are
intended for indoor use and can be used in environments where the temperature
ranges from -4 to 131oF (-20 to 55oC).
The 1400 series bridge is
designed for rooftop, mast, and tower installations. Personnel installing the
bridge must understand wireless bridging techniques, antenna alignment and
adjustment, and grounding methods. The integrated antenna configuration can be
installed by an experienced IT professional, but the external antenna bridge
configuration and the external antenna must be professionally installed.
Industry standards relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure limits for this
product require that the antennas should be positioned no less than 6.6 feet (2
meters) from the body or nearby persons. Therefore, the unit is intended for
installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be
accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means
of security.
The bridge is shipped with the following mounting hardware:
- Multi-function mount (consisting of two bridge brackets and one mast
bracket)
- Fastener hardware (consisting of nuts, bolts, washers, and U-bolts)
The optional 1400 mounting kit has a rooftop mounting bracket that is
suitable for flat roofs, sloping roofs, and exterior walls
. All exterior
coaxial connections should be sealed using the Coax-Seal tape provided in the
mounting kit. Coax connections that are not properly sealed permit moisture to
enter the connection, which leads to performance degradation or link problems.
The following connectors must be weather sealed:
- F connector, located at the bridge and each grounding block.
- N connector, when using the bridge with an external antenna.
Do not use conventional plastic electrical tape because it deteriorates
during long-term exposure to ultraviolet light and extreme weather.
