BLE100 Installation and Operation Manual
Pedestal Installation
Pedestal installation is similar to aerial installation with the exception of temperature and
mounting procedure. In an aerial installation, the cable and amplifier are subject to the same
temperature. In contrast, pedestal installation provides a stable temperature environment for
the buried cable while subjecting the elevated amplifier to higher temperatures. The
ADU/QADU, if installed, functions the same as in an aerial installation, and does not require
further attention. See Section 3, “Amplifier Setup,” Amplifier Level Control for additional
information.
To mount the BLE100 on a pedestal:
1
Remove the two 5/16-inch messenger clamps and bolts located on the long side of the
housing.
2
Locate the two 5/16-inch holes 4.0 inches center-to-center cast into the housing base.
3
Use the two 5/16-inch bolts to install the BLE100 to the pre-drilled pedestal mounting plate
and torque to 10 to 12 ft-lbs.
