1.0 Introduction
1.1 OBR3650HP Overview
The VistaMAX Outdoor Base Station 3650 (OBR3650HP) is a WiMAX compliant low power transceiver with an
integrated 60, 90, or 120 degree antenna contained in a weatherproof sealed housing. The OBR3650HP offers a single
out-of-box solution for WiMAX applications – the only equipment required inside the base station premises is Power over
Ethernet switch. The OBR3650HP is part of the WiMAX compliant VistaMAX family of base stations, subscriber units,
and network equipment available from Vecima Networks.
The OBR3650HP operates in the 3650 to 3675 MHz band. It requires an additional indoor Power over Ethernet switch
such as the VPN100002. The WiMAX Ethernet Switch 800 (WES800) can also serve as the Ethernet switch to provide
power to sectors using the units and serve as the network connection point.

2.2.1 Water Proof the Connection
Wrapping the antenna connection with sealing tape keeps the connection tight and protects against moisture.
To water proof the connection follow these steps:
Step 1
Use a section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the OBR3650HP end, stretch the tape and wrap it around
the connector as close as possible to the body of the OBR3650HP. Overlap the tape by approximately onehalf of its width so that it can form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one-inch past the
end of the connector.
Figure 2-6 Apply Rubber Sealing Tape
Step 2
Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape. Start approximately one inch further down the cable, and stretch
the tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the OBR3650HP end, then without breaking the tape, wrap back
down to the cable end.

Figure 2-9 Grounding the OBR3650HP
CAUTION
Vecima Networks requires that the CAT5E cable to the OBR3650HP is connected to a lightning surge
protector at the entrance to the building, prior to connection to the WES800 Ethernet Switch as shown
in Figure 2-10.

2.3.2 Power Surge Protection
Use the surge suppressor to protect your equipment and secure your data from power surges.
To connect the Cablefeed Shield to the Surge Suppressor Ground Lug
1. Remove the suppressor unit cover.
2. Thread the Ethernet cable through the right side opening to the suppressor.
3. Measure five (5) inches from the end of the cable that you threaded through the right side opening.
4. Lightly score the cable at the five inch mark.
5. Carefully slice the edge of the insulation.
Note: Do NOT cut the metal shield that surrounds the wires.
6. Slowly snip or slice the insulation down to the five (5) inch scoring.
7. Remove the insulation from the cable.
8. Gently twist the metal shield to form metal ground strip.
9. Make a straight-through cable with the wires.
Remember: be careful not to damage the metal ground strip.
10. Undo the grounding bolt on the right side of the suppressor.
11. Wrap the grounding strip onto the grounding bolt.
12. Screw the grounding bolt back into the side of the suppressor.
13. Thread the cable that connects to the Power over Ethernet through the left opening on the suppressor.
14. Strip the wires and make it a straight-through cable.
15. Connect the cables to their perspective ports.
16. Replace the cover of the suppressor.
17. Finish connecting the network. See “2.3.3 Grounding the Base Station”

2.3.3 Grounding the Base Station
Vecima recommends grounding the base station using one of the following procedures depending on your configuration.
If you are unsure which procedure to use, use procedure B.
Procedure A: Grounding the base station so that the building and the tower share the
same earth ground:
1. Connect the chassis of the OBR3650HP to the tower via the grounding lug on the back of the unit. See “2.3.3
Grounding the Base Station”.
2. Use a shielded CAT5 cablefeed to connect the OBR base station to the surge suppressor.
3. Use an inline surge suppressor for all OBR3650HP cablefeed installations. Connect the shield of the cablefeed
to the ground lug of the surge suppressor. The purpose of the surge suppressor is to shunt to ground any over
voltage [>60] transients that may be induced on the CAT5E cablefeed via lightning or other high voltages.

Procedure B: Grounding the base station so that the building and the tower use
different earth grounds:
1. Connect the chassis of the OBR3650HP to the tower via the grounding lug on the back of the unit. See “2.3.3
Grounding the Base Station”.
2. Use a shielded CAT5 cablefeed to connect the OBR base station to the surge suppressor.
3. Use two inline surge suppressors, one for all OBR3650HP cablefeed installations at the base of the tower and
another for the first surge suppressor and the WES800. Connect the shield of the cablefeed to the ground lug
of the surge suppressor. The purpose of the surge suppressor is to shunt to ground any over voltage [>60 V]
transients that may be induced on the CAT5E cablefeed via lightning or other high voltages.
