© NEC Nederland B.V. 2011 Page 12 of 34 AP400 – All Types Installation Manual 1 AP400 GENERAL 1.1 GENERAL This installation Manual is valid for installing a DECT transceiver (AP400) to a wall in horizontal or vertical position. The AP400 is designed for indoor use. When installing an AP400 outdoors, please use the dedicated Outdoor Cabinet and appropriate outdoor cabling Note that there are two types of DECT Transceivers: AP400 (with internal antennas). AP400E with directional antenna. Note: The AP400E must always be installed/used in the outdoor cabinet! For more information consult the manual for the Outdoor Cabinet for AP400. Note: Please note that the AP400E is not available in USA/Canada. 1.2 COUNTRY SELECTION Country settings are pre-determined by the DAP Controller and this ensures that the AP400 only operates according to local country regulations. It is not possible for any 3rd party or end user to alter these settings or download software that controls the RF parameters. The variant sold in each country can only operate in the frequency band allowed in that country. This is ensured by only delivering the correct DAP controller version for each country. There are three types of DAP Controllers available for the AP400: DAP Controller – International. This version is used in EMEA countries and countries that use the European frequencies and power levels. In these countries, only the DAP Controller - International will be delivered, so no other frequencies than the European frequencies and power levels are possible in this region. DAP Controller - North America This version is used in North America and can only use the North American frequencies and power levels. In these countries, only the DAP Controller – North America will be delivered, so no other frequencies than the North American frequencies and power levels are possible in this region..
AP400 – All Types Installation Manual Page 13 of 34 © NEC Nederland B.V. 2011 DAP Controller - Selective Countries. This version is used in countries with frequency ranges other than EMEA or North America. Note: In North America, only the “DAP Controller - North America” will be delivered, so no other frequencies than the North America frequencies and power levels are possible in North America. Note: In Europe, only the “DAP Controller - International” will be delivered, so no other frequencies than the European frequencies and power levels are possible in Europe. 1.3 SITE REQUIREMENTS Usually the Cabinets will be fixed to existing walls in the positions determined by the Site Survey. Do not mount the AP400 to a metal wall! 1.4 TEMPERATURE RANGES The temperature ranges of the AP400: Temperature range AP400: -5 to 45 C. The AP400 should not be exposed to sunlight! The outside temperature range for the AP400 (all types) mounted in the Outdoor Cabinet is as follows: Minimum outside temperature: -20 C Maximum outside temperature: 45 C The Outdoor Cabinet should not be exposed to sunlight! 1.5 CABLE SPECIFICATIONS FOR AP400 Types The cabling to the AP400(E) should be “Category 5” or “Category 6” Ethernet cabling. The interface is defined as an SELV interface according EN60950-1. For this reason the safety restriction as given in the next chapter should be respected:
© NEC Nederland B.V. 2011 Page 14 of 34 AP400 – All Types Installation Manual The power for the AP400(E) must be supplied via the Ethernet cable, PoE (IEEE 802.3af). There is no room for a Mains Power adaptor inside the Outdoor Cabinet. Note: “Category 7” cabling is not supported! Note: PoE source must comply with clause 2.5 (Limited Power Source) per EN 60950-1 1.6 CABLING SAFETY REGULATIONs Please read the following notes carefully: Note: When you are going to install an AP400(E) outdoors, it should always be installed in an Outdoor Box. Note: The cabling and/or the AP400(E) may never be exposed to over-voltages (e.g. lightning) without proper protection. Therefore mind the following notes: Note: When the AP400 is installed in the Outdoor Cabinet, and the Outdoor Cabinet is mounted against a wall, lead the cable directly indoors. This avoids that the cable becomes sensitive to over-voltage. In that case, no lightning protection is needed. It is strongly recommended to use shielded Cat 5 cable. Make sure that the shield of the cable is connected to a proper “ground”. Note: When the AP400 is installed in the Outdoors and cabling runs outdoors, the cabling will be exposed to lightning and over-voltage. You must use lightning arrestors/protectors which comply with the local regulations and legislation. Furthermore, the cabling outdoors, must be shielded Cat. 5 cabling. Make sure that the shield of the cable is connected to a proper “ground”. 1.7 INTERNAL ELECTRICAL ISOLATION The AP400(E) provides internal isolation (1,5 kV) between the Ethernet connection and the internal electrical components, including the antenna’s and antenna connector in the AP400E in the AP400.
AP400 – All Types Installation Manual Page 15 of 34 © NEC Nederland B.V. 2011 1.8 G.729 DAUGHTER BOARD The AP400 does support the G.729 codec, but only if the G.729 Daughter Board is installed. If the G.729 Daughter Board is not installed, the AP400 supports only G.711u law or G.711a law. Installation of the Daughter Board is described in chapter 3. MOUNTING THE G.729 DAUGHTERBOARD. 1.9 VISUAL CHECK The equipment must be carefully unpacked and examined for any visible sign of damage.
