Step 3 – Attach the Antenna Riser to the Pedestal 

1.

 

Align the holes at the bottom of the antenna riser 

with the holes in the gasket at the mounting 

location on the outside left wall of the pedestal.   

2.

 

Feed the free end of the antenna cable through 

the small hole that you made in the gasket and 

into the inside of the pedestal. 

3.

 

Working from the outside of the pedestal, insert 

the bolts that you removed earlier into the four 

holes. 

4.

 

Working from the inside of the pedestal, thread 

the nuts that you removed earlier onto the four 

bolts. Tighten the nuts snugly.   

 

 

 

 

Step 4 – Install the 3G Cell Modem Hardware 

IMPORTANT!

 The BL-CM3G cell modem hardware is compatible with all BaseStation 1000 

controllers in X cabinet and pedestal (P) enclosures. BaseStation 3200 controllers in X and P 

enclosures shipped after April 16, 2014 are also compatible. Earlier BaseStation 3200 models 

require different 3G cell modem components. 

1.

 

We recommend that you back up your current configuration before starting this process in 

case you need to restore your system.   

 

Refer to Backing Up the Controller Programming in the BaseStation 1000 User Manual.
