3 Mounting 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).

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 18
Figure 7: Base Station Pole Mount Assembly Diagram
Figure 8: Base Station Mounting Bracket
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
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
Front Mounting Plate Rear Mounting Plate
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
Page 20
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.
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.

4 Mounting the Antennas
PureWave Quantum Base Stations can be deployed with virtually any type of antennas that operate in
the relevant frequency band and that meet regional regulatory standards. Antenna mounting
procedures will vary by model and manufacturer, so we refer the installer to the instructions that came
with the antenna(s) and/or antenna mount(s) for their secure and proper installation (Figure 12)
As a general rule the antennas should be installed as close as practical to the base station. This
minimizes signal loss which is directly proportional to cable length. In addition, a high-quality, low-loss
coaxial cable capable of propagating the relevant frequencies (such as Hyperlink Technologies P/N
CA3N100 or Times Microwave LMR 400) should be utilized between the antenna and base station.
In the event that the base station cannot be co-located with the antennas the choice of cable is even
more important, as signal losses can be significant. For example, LMR 400 cable has an attenuation loss
of 6.8dB per 100ft at a frequency of 2.5GHz. It is important that cable loss be computed and understood
to ensure that adequate range will still be achieved for your deployment needs.

5 Connecting the Antennas to the Base Station
5.1 Installation of Lightning Surge Protectors
In most environments it is essential for the base station to be installed with external
protection against surges caused by lightning on the antenna cables. PureWave therefore
recommends that suitable surge protectors be installed on each base station antenna
connector.
For an indoor installation of the Base Station, surge protection devices should be installed at the
entrance to the building that houses the Base Station. For an outdoor installation they are installed on
the relevant connectors.
The optional PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit has been developed for your convenience and
provides hardware designed to protect the base station from surges on its antenna connectors.
PureWave strongly recommends the use of this kit. It is important to note, however, that every
environment and installation is different. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the customer and the
installer to ensure that sufficient protection is employed, whether or not this kit is utilized.
If you have ordered the PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit then it was shipped in the same box as
the base station. Please locate the kit and compare its contents to Table 5.

The following surge protector installation procedure is specific to the PureWave Quantum Surge
Protection Kit. If you have chosen to use alternative surge protection hardware then please follow the
instructions received with that hardware to ensure proper installation. However, we still recommend
that you review the procedure below, as much of it will still be relevant.
Step 1:
Screw one surge arrestor onto each base station antenna connector ANT-1 and ANT-2 and
tighten to a torque of 12-15 in-lbs.
Step 2:
Weatherproof each surge arrestor connection to the base station before proceeding with the
next step. Please refer to Appendix A for a general discussion and guidelines on
weatherproofing connections.
Step 3:
Place the grounding bar over the row of surge arrestors such that the two ground terminal
screws are facing the bottom of the base station, and secure in place with the lock washers
and nuts that came packaged with each surge protector. Tighten each nut to a torque of 30
in-lbs.
Step 4:
Wire ground connections from the ground bar terminals to the base station connector panel
grounding terminal using the provided crimp rings and hardware. Base station grounding
procedures are covered in Appendix A.
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
Page 24
5.2 Connecting the Antennas to the Base Station
The base station has two N-type antenna connectors that must be attached to each installed antenna
using high-quality coaxial cable, as discussed in Section 4. The number of connectors/adapters used
should also be minimized as they are especially lossy. Most industrial-grade antennas, including all
PureWave antennas, utilize N-type connectors. Regardless of the antenna-side connector type, it is
important to obtain or construct cables with the correct respective terminal types and of the correct
length to avoid the need for additional connectors or adaptors.
Figure 13 Antenna Connection
Prepare and run 2 low loss coax cables from the base station to the antenna. Connect each base station
(or surge arrestor) connector to the corresponding port number on the installed antennas. All antenna
ports must be connected (Figure 13).
Finally, weatherproof every connector. Please refer to Appendix A for a general discussion and
guidelines on weatherproofing connections.

6 Installing the GPS Antenna
WiMAX base stations utilize GPS (the Global Positioning System) to maintain tight synchronization and
coordination among themselves in a network. This assures that all base stations in the network transmit
and receive in harmony, as they must all utilize the same Downlink / Uplink Ratio.
6.1 Selecting and Mounting a GPS Antenna
PureWave Quantum Base Stations incorporate an integrated GPS receiver which must be connected to
an external GPS antenna view of a number of GPS satellites. Installation location flexibility and the
amount of tolerable obstruction are heavily dependent upon the quality and capabilities of the chosen
antenna.
The choice of GPS antenna is an important one, as there are many models available in the
market for many purposes, and hence some are very inexpensive but also low gain and/or
low quality. A poor GPS antenna can easily become the point of failure of your system.
PureWave strongly recommends the use of a high-quality GPS antenna and therefore offers an optional
GPS Antenna Kit, featuring a GPS antenna with integrated 40dB low-noise amplifier and mount kit
(Figure 14).
Figure 14: Optional GPS Antenna and Mounting Kit
If you have ordered the GPS Antenna Kit it was shipped in the same box as the base station. The
optional GPS Antenna Kit it includes all required mounting hardware and instructions and we refer the
installer to that documentation for secure and proper installation. Similarly, if an alternative GPS
antenna has been chosen, please refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer for proper
mounting procedures.

6.2 Connecting the GPS Antenna to the Base Station
The base station utilizes an N-type GPS antenna connector. The GPS antenna that comes as part of the
optional GPS Antenna Kit also has an N-type connector. Prepare a high-quality coaxial cable of the
appropriate length and with the appropriate connector types for use in connecting the GPS antenna to
the base station.
Connect the coaxial cable from the external GPS antenna to the N-type female connector marked “GPS”
on the base station, and weatherproof the connectors. Please refer to Appendix A for a general
discussion and guidelines on weatherproofing connections.

7.2 Preparing the Ethernet and Console Cables
ETH-1 and ETH-2 connectors should both be run from the base station to the operator’s network
equipment. The CONSOLE connection may be connected for initial provisioning and thereafter on an as-
needed basis or it may be permanently connected as with the Ethernet connections. Please take into
consideration that the RS-232 console connection is less tolerant to noise and interference in long cable
runs than the Ethernet interfaces.
The maximum length of the Cat-5e cables connecting the Ethernet or console ports on the
base station to the Service Provider’s network equipment is limited to 100m (328ft).
When the Base Station is mounted outdoors it is important to use outdoor rated Category-
5e+ Gigabit Ethernet Cable, such as Commscope Ultra IITM, and shielded outdoor rated metal
RJ-45 connectors. Six high-quality shielded connectors have been included in the PureWave
Quantum Basic Installation Kit.
Prepare and connect two Cat 5e+ cables from the ETH-1 and ETH-2 ports to the operator’s network
equipment, and one more for the CONSOLE port if desired.
In preparing the Cat 5e+ cables, terminate each at the base station in accordance with the T-568B wiring
standard, as described in Table 8 and illustrated in Figure 15.

7.3 Weatherproofing the Ethernet and Console Connections
If the CONSOLE port is not to be permanently connected then it should remain tightly capped
for the time-being. A serial cable, a 6” Cat-5 cable, and a DB9 to RJ-45 adapter has been
supplied with the PureWave Quantum Basic DC Installation Kit for bring-up and provisioning
purposes utilizing the CONSOLE port. Please refer to the PureWave Quantum User Manual
for additional information.
A set of three RJ-45 IP67 weatherproof housing assemblies have been supplied as part of the PureWave
Quantum Basic DC Installation Kit for the purpose of weatherproofing the Ethernet and console
connectors. The procedure for installation of the housing onto each cable and connector is provided
below. Note that at least one end of the cable should be crimped with a RJ-45 connector only at the end
of the procedure.
Please refer to Figure 16 during the following procedure, as it shows the interconnection and orientation
of each part in the assembly.

8 Connecting DC Power and Ground
8.1 Base Station Single-Point Grounding
Extensive analysis and investigation of installations has led to the belief that the root cause at the heart
of the majority of power-related failures is likely to be the presence of multi-point grounding of
equipment. Single point grounding eliminates ground voltage differentials and thus dramatically
increases equipment survivability during surges.
Single point grounding requires that the grounding leads from antennas, base station, and surge
protection devices for a particular sector are bonded together at the same point on the tower or in the
shelter, in the case of an indoor installation. It is not necessary to bond all sectors together.
An insulated crimp ring has been supplied as part of the PureWave Quantum Basic DC Installation Kit
(Table 7), along with the hardware required to mount it to the base station GND terminal connection.
Furthermore, if the optional PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit (Table 5) has been installed then it
includes a set of crimp rings for mounting on the ground terminals of the supplied grounding bar.
Conductors from each installed crimp ring should be connected together, and then tied to a single-point
common grounding point.
The following grounding guidelines apply, whether or not the PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit
has been installed:
Surge protection devices generally connect to ground by using a ground wire. Cut any extra
ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
Never loop or coil up the ground wire, and avoid sharp bends. Always connect it straight to
ground.
A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire is connected and not
at the ground rod.
Connect the protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm.
ground) to a single common ground.
Make sure all connections are fastened securely.
8.2 Preparing the DC Power Connector
The DC power source to a PureWave Quantum Base Station must be capable of delivering up to 10
Amps of current at -48 VDC. The base station requires ~6 Amps max at -48VDC (range -40VDC to -
57VDC, -38VDC min).
The power connector used on the base station will accommodate 14 to 18 gauge wire. Remember to
take account of the voltage drop when running long power cable runs. For example, for 18 AWG and a
cable length of 100 feet, a nominal 48VDC supply delivering into a 6A load will have a voltage drop of 9.3
volts.
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
Page 32
This DC power connector assembly has been provided as part of the Basic DC Installation Kit (Table 7)
and consists of a 4-pin female power connector plug, a set of crimp contacts, and a cable clamp. The
connector with pin assignments is shown in (Figure 18).
Figure 18: IP67 DC Power Connector and Pin Assignments
To successfully complete the power cable assembly you will need the following tools (not provided).
Wire-strippers
Needle-nose pliers
Phillips Screwdriver
Crimping tool
The Tyco 91519-1 Crimp Tool was specifically designed for the pins of the Quantum power connector.
However, due to its high cost we have focused on a procedure for creating the connector with the much
more affordable Waldom W-HT1921 Crimp Tool and plus the Tyco / AMP 200893-2 Insertion Tool. All
are shown in Figure 19. If you choose to use the optional Tyco crimp tool then please follow the
instructions included with the tool for the proper crimping procedure.
Figure 19: Crimp and Insertion Tools for the DC Power Connector
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
Page 33
Step 1:
Use wire strippers to remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire and approximately
1” of outer cable insulation. It is important that each wire be the same length, with equal
lengths of stripped wire.

with the cable clamp by tightening the two strain-relief screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
The completed assembly is shown in Figure 31.
Figure 31: Completed Power Connector Assembly
Note that the base station does not have a power switch and will immediately power up if
the DC power connector is in place and power is applied. Please do not apply power to the
base station until all connections are made in accordance with the instructions in this guide.
Then, please refer to the PureWave Quantum Base Station User Guide for additional
instructions.

Appendix A Connector Weatherproofing
Required Materials
PureWave recommends that appropriate weather protection sealing be applied to all “outdoor”
installed elements of the system. Weatherproofing tape kits can very effectively seal the junction
between mating connectors. Proper and diligent weatherproofing not only protects the connection from
water damage, but also prevents vibrations from loosening the interface.
A wide range of weather protection materials and kits are commercially available. The PureWave
Quantum Basic DC Installation Kit and the Optional PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit each
include a weatherproofing kit that contains a variety of tapes along with general weatherproofing
guidelines.
General Guidelines for Working with Weatherproofing Tape
When applied, the tape must be above 32°F (0°C) to ensure adhesion.
Do not stretch the tape. Apply only enough tension to provide a smooth wrap.
Smooth each wrapped layer with your hands to ensure full adhesion.
Do not pull the tape to tear it - always cut it. Pulled tape eventually unravels, decreasing
protection.
Add extra final layers of tape in warmer climates where there will be long exposure to damaging
ultra violet (UV) rays. Two or three extra layers of tape will provide additional UV protection.
On vertical runs, the last wrap of 3/4” tape should be wrapped from the bottom to the top. This
provides a shingle effect.
When wrapping tape, overlap the tape to half-width as shown in Figure 32.
Figure 32: Proper Weatherproof Tape Overlap
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
Page 39
Weatherproofing Procedures
The following procedure is illustrated for an N-type antenna connector (without surge connector) but
applies to all connector types.
Step 1:
Tighten the connection with a torque wrench to the proper torque value (12-15lbs for an N-
type connector) to ensure that correct internal seals and surface contacts are made. One
recommended torque wrench for an N-Type connector is the Andre 244379 and is shown in
Figure 33.
Figure 33: Torque Wrench for N-Type Connector
Step 2:
Figure 34: First Plastic Tape Layer
Step 3:
Quantum 2200 Installation Guide v2.1
Page 40
Figure 35: First Rubber Tape Layer
Step 4:
Start wrapping a layer of 2” (50-mm) plastic tape 1” (25 mm) below the rubber tape,
overlapping at half width (Figure 36). Finish the wrap at the flange of the antenna connector
and cut the tape.
