3Mounting the Base Station
3.1 Fundamentals
The back side of the base station includes 6 metric M8-1.25 threaded mounting holes, as shown in
Figure 4.
Figure 4: Base Station Mounting Holes
Because the mounting holes are recessed, provisions must be made to provide for spacing between the
mounting points and the mounting bracket or surface, as exemplified in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Example of Mounting Point with Spacing Hardware
It is imperative that proper airflow be maintained on all sides of the base station and that all
heat sinks remain unobstructed. In the case of wall or surface mounting a minimum of 2” of
space should be maintained between the base station and mounting surface.

3.2 The Pole-Mount Kit
The optional PureWave Quantum Base Station Pole Mounting Kit provides all hardware required for
installing the base station on a pole ranging from 2.5-5 inches in diameter. It is important to note that
the use of a pole mount in no way dictates that the base must actually be deployed on top of a long
pole, although in many cases it will in fact be. Alternatively the base station may be conveniently
attached to a short pole, which may then be easily mounted to a metal frame or struts that conform to
the specific deployment using commonly available hardware. An example of this is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Example Deployment Consisting of Pole Attached to a Metal Frame
The PureWave Quantum Base Station Pole Mount Kit has been specifically designed to
handle the weight of the base station. However, it is critical that the full weight of the base
station plus mounting hardware be considered in designing the overall base station mounting
solution.
Fully assembled, the PureWave Quantum Base Station Pole Mount Kit weighs 16lbs (7.3kg).

PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide v2.1

If you have ordered the pole mounting kit then it was shipped in the same box as the base station.
Please locate the kit and compare its contents to Table 4.

3.2.1 Pole Mount Installation Procedure
Figure 7 illustrates how the entire pole-mounting mechanism connects together and to the base station.
The pole mount mechanism consists of a base station bracket (Figure 8) that attaches to the mounting
points on the back of the base station, and a pair of pole-mount plates (Figure 9) that grip the pole and
to which the base station bracket attaches. Table 4 indicates where each included piece of hardware is
to be used and should be strictly followed to ensure a secure and proper installation.

Page 19
Figure 9: Pole Mounting Plates
First mount the Base Station Mounting Bracket (Figure 8: Base Station Mounting Bracket) to the base
station using the provided hardware, as indicated in Table 4. When installing the base station mounting
bracket onto the base station, be sure to align it as shown in Figure 10. Note that the bracket is
designed for upright mounting of the base station; that is, mounting with the connectors facing down.
Tighten the bolts to a torque of 30 in-lbs.
Figure 10: Base Station Mounting Bracket Alignment
The base station bracket may be mounted to the base station ahead of time as it has a built-
in handle that facilitates its transportation and carrying the base station up a tower.
To improve the effectiveness of connector waterproofing and to optimize the base station’s
thermal performance, it is recommended that the base station be mounted in an upright
position, with the connectors at the bottom.
Note that the base station bracket is designed specifically to attach to the 6 recessed
mounting holes on the base station, and hence can be useful in a variety of mounting
scenarios. However, use of this bracket without the pole mounting plates designed
specifically to accompany it is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the customer.

The next step is to mount the front and back pole mount plates (Figure 9) to the pole, using the
provided hardware as indicated in Table 4.
Nylon tie wraps have been provided for convenience to temporarily affix the front mounting
plate to the pole during the installation process.
A selection of carriage bolts has been provided to accommodate a variety of pole diameters. Select a
set of 4 bolts that enable a secure fit to your pole. Insert each carriage bolt through the front mounting
plate and slide a pushnut onto it to temporarily hold it in place. Slide the back mounting plate onto the
carriage bolts, sandwiching the pole in-between, then add lock washers and hex nuts tightened to a
torque of 30 in-lbs.
Insert the four provided M8-1.25x25 hex bolts along with M8 split lock washers into the side holes of the
front pole mounting plate and leave them loose for now. These bolts provide the attachment point for
the base station mounting bracket to the pole mount subassembly. The completed subassembly is
shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11: Pole Mount Subassembly
Finally, using the handle on the base station mounting bracket, lift the base station subassembly onto
the pole mount subassembly and hang it on the four side mounting bolts. Torque the bolts to 30 in-lbs.
For this and other installations in this manual, a suitable anti-corrosion lubricant should be
applied to all exposed metal surfaces. For your convenience a tube of Bostik NEVER-SEEZ®
has been provided in the PureWave Quantum Base Station Basic Installation Kit.
Note that these types of lubricants tend to be “messy” and “sticky” to apply due to the
nature of their intended application. Always read the labels or instructions provided and take
necessary pre-cautions during application.
