Preparing for InstallationTropos 5210 Wi-Fi Cell Installation Guide 6Site SurveysDue to variations in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, each installation is unique. Before installing the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell, perform a site survey to determine the optimum placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Consider the following factors when performing a site survey:Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs as radio data rate increases. Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height and gain. Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the range. Obstructions—A physical obstruction, such as a building or tree, can block or hinder communication. Avoid locating antennas in a location where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices. Building materials—Radio penetration is influenced by the building material used in construction. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks. Diversity—The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell supports transmit and receive diversity, which requires two antennas.
Preparing for InstallationTropos 5210 Wi-Fi Cell Installation Guide 7Power SourceThe Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell supports two options for connecting to a power source:AC power source (3-wire service) — 3W(P+N+PE) or 3W(2P+PE); 90-480 VAC, 50/60 Hz NEMA plug, for streetlight photoelectric control power tap (2-wire service) —2W(2P) or 2W(P+N); 90-480 VAC 50/60 HzWarningConnect the AC powered outdoor system only to 90-480 VAC power sources. Do not connect it to a power source of higher voltage.CautionYou must install an external grounding wire if the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell is installed on a non-metal pole or if the metal installation structure is not properly grounded. You must also ground the outdoor data protection device to a bonded pipe or ground rod. Make sure that grounding is complete before you connect power to the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell.SafetyInstalling the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell can pose a serious hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the following:Exposure to high voltage lines during installationFalls when working at heights or with laddersInjuries from dropping tools and equipmentContact with AC wiring
Mounting StrategiesTropos 5210 Wi-Fi Cell Installation Guide 8Mounting StrategiesWhen choosing mounting locations, consider the available mounting structures and antenna clearance. The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell should always be mounted with the top of the cell horizontal and level and with the antennas facing upward.It is usually best to attach ground and data cables to the cell prior to mounting. Before mounting the cell, review the wiring instructions in “Grounding the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell” on page 22 and “Connecting a Data Port” on page 30 to determine the best strategy for the selected location.NoteSince the mounting structure itself is a potential obstruction, the cell should be mounted with at least 4 feet of clearance between the antennas and the mounting structure.Acceptable options for mounting on a streetlight are shown in Figure 2. In each case the cell is mounted to assure clearance for the antennas above the height of the streetlight.Figure 2 Example Mounting Location - Antennas Facing Upwardtrp_094Antennas clear of obstructionAntennas clearof obstruction

Connecting PeripheralsTropos 5210 Wi-Fi Cell Installation Guide 35Connecting PeripheralsThe Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell can be configured to source DC power on the Ethernet connector pins 4,5 and 7,8, This capability allows the cell to power remote peripherals such as backhaul point-to-point radios, video cameras, or fiber optic transceivers. The Tropos PoE power sourcing capability DC output is a fully isolated supply and may be used to power either positive or negative polarity peripherals.The Tropos PoE power sourcing capability is not compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard; however, many IEEE 802.3af-compliant power devices (PDs) will operate using the power sourcing equipment capabilities of the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell.The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell can supply up to a total of 14W of DC power distributed to the LAN port, Management port, or both. Each port must be configured for the same voltage. To configure the voltage, use the Tropos Configuration Utility (see Tropos Networks User Guide) or an element management system such as Tropos Control EMS (see the Tropos Control EMS Installation and User Guide). The DC output voltage can be configured to 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 48Vdc, or to the Off state (0Vdc). Table 2 lists the maximum power output as a function of voltage.In the event of an over-current or short-circuit fault event, the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell will remove PoE output for three to five seconds before attempting to resume sourcing power to the peripheral device. The power sourcing feature is covered by battery backup (“Battery Backup Operation” on page 38). If the battery backup capability is installed, PoE output power is unaffected by the temporary loss of AC power.Table 2 PoE Power Sourcing Power OutputVoltage Max Power Output12Vdc 14W24Vdc 12W48Vdc 10W

Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi Cell Installation Guide 55FWind Loading ConsiderationsThe American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards manual, “Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals,” governs most structural support issues related to traffic lighting and controls. Many state and city public works departments site the AASHTO standard as the guide for their requirements. Local municipalities in coastal states, which experience frequent hurricanes, etc., may have exceptions to the AASHTO standard that require higher design limits for wind velocity or dead load. Numerous pole and mast arm assemblies are used for traffic controls and traffic lighting. Each assembly and installation is unique and worthy of an evaluation of the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities; however, in most cases, the assembly will include a pole with a single 6', 9' or 12' mast arm holding a single luminaire. Many of these mast arms are typically designed to hold hundreds of pounds of static load and to carry several square meters of sail area in 80mph winds. The typical mast arm is capable of supporting a single traffic control (typically weighing around 160 lbs) and a single traffic sign (typically presenting a few square meters of sail area). A single luminaire typically weighs about 60 lbs and presents about 3 square feet of sail area. NoteEach assembly and installation is unique and worthy of an evaluation of the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities. It is your responsibility to evaluate the load bearing capabilities of the structure.The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell weighs <14 lbs, including all mounting hardware. The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell may be mounted to either the pole portion of the streetlight or to the mast arm portion. Many municipalities find mounting the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell to the pole portion to provide better aesthetics in the public space. When the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell is mounted to the pole or mast arm, most of the unit is hidden by the pole or mast arm and therefore presents minimal additional sail area to the structure. When the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell is mounted to the pole portion of the structure, the sail area of the cell is approximately 1 square foot. Pole manufacturers have advised Tropos Networks that small communications devices such as the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell do not present any significant static or dynamic load to these structures.
