these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.
2.2 Preparing Installation Tools
When installing MSR4000, you may need the following tools. You shall select the tools
according to the actual situation.
MSR4000 Installation Guide 15
Table 2-1 Installation tools list
Type
Tools
General tools
Screwdriver, adjustable spanner, vice, safety belt, hard hat, power
board (220 VAC or as required by local regulation), POE power
injector, crimping pliers, electric soldering iron, welding wire, PVC
insulation tape, adhesive insulation tape, strap, insulation tools
2.3 Examining the Installation Site
1. The site should be located within at least a 60% range of the 1st fresnel zone without
obstacles to provide LOS transmission, increase coverage capacity, and minimize
the number of necessary sites.
2. If no LOS secured, area in NLOS area could be covered as well, but the distance of
coverage and area of coverage are decreased; more sites are needed to provide
coverage for same area than in the LOS scenario.
3. Interference must be considered in site selection. New site should avoid known
interference, unless the interference is controllable.
4. Keep the MSR4000 away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust,
harmful gas, inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar,
radio station and transformer), unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. In
engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning
and technical requirements of communications equipment, as well as the
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and
transportation.

3 Weatherproofing Connections
Weatherproofing your antenna and/or cable connections on your outdoor AP is
essential to reliability and longevity of your product. This process prevents water
from entering the AP or antennas through the connectors.
A good weatherproofing job consists of three wrappings:
1. electrical tape
2. butyl rubber
3. electrical tape
The first wrapping of tape should be at least two layers, followed by a single wrap
of butyl rubber, and four-layer wrap of electrical tape. This provides good
protection from water, heat, and other potential hazards that could damage your
AP or antennas.
Additionally, wrap your connections such that water is always directed down and
away from connections.
3.1 Required Items and Tools
3/4” (19 mm) Vinyl Electrical Tape (waterproofing type)
Butyl Rubber Tape
Knife or Box Cutter
3.2 Types of Connections
The following sections provide guidance on weatherproofing directly connected
antennas (Figure 3-1) and cable connections (Figure 3-2). The same materials
are needed for weatherproofing both types of connections but the procedure is
slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see
MSR4000 Installation Guide 17
"Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas" section. For weatherproofing
cable connections, see "Weatherproofing Cable Connections" section.
Figure 3-1 Directly connected antennas
18 MSR4000 Installation Guide
Figure 3-2 Cable connections
3.3 Important Points to Remember
Do not cover the weep holes on the antennas. Doing so can restrict the
release of condensation from the antennas.
Proper weatherproofing is not a fast process. Set aside ample time to
complete the steps outlined below.
When wrapping, make the each layer of tape as flat as possible. Wrinkles
and folds in the tape create places for water and moisture to gather.
3.4 Weatherproofing Directly Connected Antennas
First Wrapping of Tape
1. Before wrapping the antennas, locate the weep holes (Figure 3-1). Weep
holes allow condensation that has built up inside the antenna to escape.
2. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
3. Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape
into strips makes it easier to maneuver the tape around the antennas and
other components of the AP’s case.
MSR4000 Installation Guide 19
4. Beginning just below the weep holes, tightly wrap the connection with a layer
of the 3/4” (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the AP’s case.
Figure 3-3 First Wrapping of Tape
Wrapping of Butyl Rubber
1. Cut a 3/4” (19 mm) strip of butyl rubber.
2. Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (Figure 3-4)
3. Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam
(Figure 3-5).
20 MSR4000 Installation Guide
Figure 3-4 Butyl rubber placement
Figure 3-5 Butyl rubber wrap
Second Wrapping of Tape
1. Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll.
2. Where you begin wrapping depends on the orientation of the antenna. Water
should flow in the opposite direction of the wrapping to prevent water from
MSR4000 Installation Guide 21
entering the connector between the layers of tape. Therefore, if the antenna
is facing up, you should begin wrapping at the AP end of the connector. This
will ensure that your fourth and final layer will be layered correctly.
Conversely, if your antenna is facing down, you should begin wrapping on
the antenna end of the connector.
3. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are
no places where water can collect. If there are, you must smooth out those
areas with additional layers of tape or remove the weatherproofing and begin
again.
Figure 3-6 Completed wrapping (antenna on top of AP)
4. Repeat this process for all connectors.
3.5 Weatherproofing Cable Connections
First Wrapping of Tape
1. Prepare the antenna connector by cleaning and drying it.
22 MSR4000 Installation Guide
2. Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll. Pre-cutting the tape
into strips makes it easier to maneuver the tape around the connectors and
other components but is not required.
3. Beginning at the top of the connector, tightly wrap the connection with a layer
of the 3/4” (19mm) electrical tape. Overlap the tape to a half-width.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the wrapping extends all the way to the cable’s
insulation.
Figure 3-7 First wrapping of tape
Wrapping of Butyl Rubber
1. Cut a piece of butyl rubber large enough to wrap around the connector and
extended past the first layer of tape.
2. Wrap the strip of rubber around the taped connector (Figure 3-8)
3. Join the two ends by pushing them together until there is no longer a seam
(Figure 3-9).
MSR4000 Installation Guide 23
Figure 3-8 Butyl rubber placement
Figure 3-9 Butyl rubber wrap
Second Wrapping of Tape
1. Cut a 4” (100 mm) strip of electrical tape from the roll.
2. Using 3/4” (19mm) electrical tape, begin wrapping at the connector and
create four layers.
3. After completing the fourth layer of tape, check your work to ensure there are
no places where water can collect. If there are, you must smooth out those
24 MSR4000 Installation Guide
areas with additional layers of tape or remove the weatherproofing and begin
again.
