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.

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. 2012

 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:

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. 2012

1.8 G.729 DAUGHTER BOARD
