Carrier Class AirMax BaseStation 1 Introduction Introduction Thank you for purchasing the PowerBridge M5 X3. This is a point- to-point CPE wireless device. Package Contents PowerBridge M5 X3 48V PoE Adapter Power CordAntenna Bracket Clamps (Qty. 2) Pole Bracket Clamps (Qty. 2) Carrier Class AirMax BaseStation M8X135 Carriage Bolts (Qty. 4) Serrated Flange Bolts (Qty. 4) Serrated Flange Lock Nuts (Qty. 4) GPS Patch Antenna Quick Start Guide Installation Requirements • Adjustable wrench or one 16 mm and one 24 mm wrench • Flathead screwdriver • Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE. We recommend that you protect your networks from the most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable 2 PowerBridge M5 X3 Hardware Overview Connects to GPS Patch Antenna Ethernet Port Cover LEDs Power The Power LED will light steady green when the PowerBridge is connected to a power source. Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity. GPS The GPS LED lights up green when the GPS signal strength can sustain AirSync operation. This requires a minimum of 3 satellite connections. Signal The first Signal LED is lit when the wireless signal strength is above -94 dBm, the second LED when the wireless signal strength is above -77 dBm, and the third LED when the wireless signal signal strength is above -65 dBm. 3 Hardware Installation Note: By default, the Signal LEDs represent the wireless signal strength with default threshold values. In the airOS interface, you can modify the threshold values for each LED or configure the LEDs to display the GPS connection quality instead. The settings can be configured on the Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds. Hardware Installation To install the PowerBridge M5 X3, perform the following steps: 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to unlock the cover. Turn the screw counter-clockwise until it is loose. The screw remains attached to the cover. Lift the cover by pressing down and raising it up. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable and the GPS Patch Antenna. There are grooves for the cables on the cover. Align them properly and slide the cover back on and secure it with the screw. 4 PowerBridge M5 X3 3. Insert the M8X135 Carriage Bolts into the Antenna Bracket Clamps. 4. Connect the Antenna Bracket Clamps to the PowerBridge using the four Serrated Flange Bolts. 5 Hardware Installation 5. Mount the PowerBridge to the pole by performing the following steps: a. Position the PowerBridge in the desired mounting location on the pole. b. Slide the Pole Bracket Clamps on to the Carriage Bolts. c. Use the four Serrated Flange Lock Nuts to secure the PowerBridge to the pole. 6. Adjust the operating angle of the PowerBridge by adjusting the Serrated Flange Bolts on the top Antenna Bracket Clamp. 6 PowerBridge M5 X3 7. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the PowerBridge to the Ethernet port labeled POE on the PoE Adapter. 8. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the Ethernet port labeled LAN on the PoE Adapter. 7 Hardware Installation 9. Connect the power cord to the power port on the PoE Adapter. Connect the other end of the power cord to a power outlet. 10. Place the GPS Patch Antenna on the mounting hardware. 8 PowerBridge M5 X3 Accessing the AirOS Utility 1. Make sure that your host machine is connected to the LAN that is connected to the PowerBridge. 2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.100). 3. Launch your Web browser and type http://192.168.1.20 in the address field and press enter (PC) or return (Mac). 4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Login. Note: U.S. product versions are locked to the U.S. Country Code to ensure compliance with FCC regulations. The AirOS Interface will appear allowing you to customize your settings as needed. Installer Compliance Responsibility Devices must be professionally installed and it is the professional installer's responsibility to make sure the device is operated within local country regulatory requirements. 9 Specifications Specifications Enclosure Size 445 x 416 x 34 mm Weight 3.82 kg Max Power Consumption 8 Watts Power Supply 48V, 0.5A surge protection integrated PoE adapter included Power Method Passive PoE (Pairs 4, 5+; 7,8 return) Operating Temperature -30 to 80° C Operating Humidity 5 to 95% Condensing Operating Frequency Device Supports 5170 - 5875 MHz USA/Canada Supports* 5745 - 5850 MHz Networking Interface (1) 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port * Products shipped in the USA/Canada are locked to the US Country Code to ensure compliance with FCC regulations. 10 PowerBridge M5 X3 Safety Notices 1.

RF Exposure Info

§ 15.247(i) Maximum Permissible Exposure RF Exposure Requirements: §1.1307(b)(1) and §1.1307(b)(2): Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. RF Radiation Exposure Limit: §1.1310: As specified in this section, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Limit shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation as specified in Sec. 1.1307(b), except in the case of portable devices which shall be evaluated according to the provisions of Sec. 2.1093 of this chapter. MPE Limit Calculation: EUT’s operating frequencies @ 5745 - 5825 MHz; highest conducted power = 18.58 dBm (peak) therefore, Limit for Uncontrolled exposure: 1 mW/cm 2 or 10 W/m 2 EUT maximum antenna gain = 25 dBi. Equation from page 18 of OET 65, Edition 97-01 S = PG / 4R 2 or R = √PG / 4S where, S = Power Density (1 mW/cm 2 ) P = Power Input to antenna (72.11mW) G = Antenna Gain (316.23 numeric) R = (72.11*316.23/ 4*3.14*1.0) 1/2 = (22803.42 / 12.56) 1/2 = 42.61cm
