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.

2.Insert the Base Station wire through the compression fitting and tighten the fitting.

3.Wire the Base Station connector the same way as the RJ-45 connectors for the indoor Base Stations.

4.Place the Base Station inside the enclosure with the part number label facing the back of the enclosure.
