Install Outdoor Base Stations 
Outdoor Base Stations 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. 
 
Only RCO Base Stations can be used outdoors. 
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.  
Wire and connect 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 fuse protected at both 
ends. For example, use a Quick Clip Fuse from Illinois Tool Works, 
Linx Division, model number SCP-2X2. Insert the Quick Clip fuses 
in place of bridging clips on a 66 block for the non-internal Base 
Station circuits.  
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 cable through the compression fitting and 
tighten the fitting.  
3.  Wire the Base Station connector just as you wired 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. 
5.  Screw the protective cover onto the Base Station enclosure.
