J26520031-2MMDS/MMDS Low TX In-Band Transceiver

P/N: 131908/A Revised: 9/1/00 C+A 1 C+A TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION GUIDE ____________________________________________________ The installation of California Amplifier transceiver products should only be done by qualified personnel, and should be under the direct guidelines of the system operator. These installation instructions apply to California Amplifier products only. Use of these instructions to install other manufacturer’s products may result in unknown hazards, damage and/or unacceptable performance. The information contained in this applications note is intended to assist the operator in developing a set of installation guidelines and operating practices for the field personnel skilled in installing roof top subscriber equipment. California Amplifier accepts no responsibility for claims of injury, death, destruction of property or loss of television service related to improper installation, or installation of equipment by staff not skilled in installing roof top cable television equipment. 460 Calle San Pablo, Camarillo, California 93012 USA PH: (805) 987-9000 Fax (805) 987-8359 P/N: 131908/A Revised: 9/1/00 C+A 2 GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSCEIVER NOTE to System Operator: California Amplifier family of Transceiver products has been designed for installation by a licensed or qualified installer with experience in installing wireless antennas. NOTE to INSTALLER: 1. Installation and operation of this family of Transceiver products require full compliance with FCC-adopted radio frequency exposure limits. It is in the responsibility of the installer to install these devices and their associated antennas so that RF exposure does not exceed 1.0mW/cm 2 . The following table summarizes the minimum distance required to satisfy these requirements. Limits, Minimum P/NIntegrated Planar (17 dBi)Standalone (when used with 24 dBi) 520005-1N/A26 in.

When installing a standalone Transceiver, orient the FCC RF exposure label is facing the front of the Antenna This is a mandatory requirement by the FCC to comply with RF exposure compliance requirements. The label should not be obstructed when installation is complete. This will allow the warning label to be visible and readable. This is a mandatory requirement by the FCC to comply with RF exposure compliance requirements P/N: 131908/A Revised: 9/1/00 C+A 3 INSTALLATION PRACTICES In a customer installation, there are several factors that must be considered before the installation can take place: Signal contour strength and direction of the transmitting source, seasonal interference’s such as foliage and trees, aesthetics of the outdoor installation, system performance and overall customer satisfaction with the final product. In each case the customer wants the very best signal quality with a minimum of construction and aesthetic impact to their home or business. This will dictate the use of a variety of antenna configurations in order to perform the task of providing adequate signal strength while maintaining low visual impact. The order of visual impact follows the height and size of the antenna. A wall or gutter mount will present a very low visual profile. This if followed by a short roof or chimney mount. When higher gain or foliage clearance is needed, then a tree mount or mast mount should be considered. The following mounts are described and their general application: Wall or Standoff Mount: These are used in high signal density areas where antenna aesthetics is of concern. It offers great flexibility in mounting angles and locations. The stand-off arms mount from the wall and or the eave and support the mast in the vertical position. The mast may be short in length so as to place the antenna above the roof line or a telescoping mast may be used in conjunction with a ground plate to extend the antenna height to above the roof peak. P/N: 131908/A Revised: 9/1/00 C+A 4 Roof Mounts : The same basic hardware used for wall and eave mounts is used for a roof mount. This mounting bracket and pole is adjustable in the vertical plane and will raise the antenna about 24” above the mounting location. The bracket must be secured into a structural member, not simply into siding or shingles. All points of attachment must be properly waterproofed. Chimney Mounts: Chimney mounts are one of the easiest types of mounts to install. In the application of brick-type chimneys, a dual band strap mount is best. The proper strap will securely fasten the mounting bracket and antenna. For wood over metal construction chimney, a version of the wall mount is best. Make sure the anchor bolts attach to a supporting stud member and not just the fascia board. P/N: 131908/A Revised: 9/1/00 C+A 5 Tripod Mount : The tripod mount offers ease of installation, stable mounting structure, and signal visibility. It is however, bulky and not very aesthetic. The tripod mount comes in 3, 5, 10 and 15-foot sections. As with the roof mount installation, the mounting bolts must always be attached to roof joists and be properly sealed. Tree Mounts: In regions of the country with heavy foliage, tree mounts are popular. This is a highly specialized installation and is beyond the scope of this installation guide. Specific instructions and practices can only be formatted by the individual operator in their region (not pictured). Every installation must adhere to company policies, applicable specifications and drawings of the system operator. This requirement includes: the choice of antennas, the weatherproofing of all connections, all penetrations into the building and all grounding procedures, both at the antenna mount and at the point of drop entry into the building.
