interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this
equipment under Federal Communications Commission’s rules.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved
equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS
The EW5301T is designed to operate at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz with up to 50 W equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) maximum transmit
power. This level of radio frequency (RF) energy is above the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels specified in FCC OET65:97-01. Take the
following precautions during installation:
• The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8 in. (20 cm) from all persons. It must
not be located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the area within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the front of the antenna.
• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not stand in front of the antenna assembly.
• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not handle or touch the front of the antenna.
Video Quality Caution
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Description
The EW5301T wireless video encoder is a high-performance, dual-stream, single-input video encoding unit. Its main function is to convert live
analog video into dual MPEG-4 video streams. It transmits these streams to an Endura™ EW5001 or EW5002 wireless access point, which
transmits the streams over an Ethernet network to other Endura system components. Then these streams can be recorded on an Endura NVR5100
Series network video recorder or DVR5300 Series digital video recorder, or decoded by the following Endura components:
• NET5301R video decoder: Converts up to 4 video streams for display or recording on an analog device.
• Endura Workstation: Converts up to 16 video streams for display on a computer monitor.
• VCD5000 video console display: Converts up to 64 video streams (depending on model) for display or recording on an analog device.
The EW5301T incorporates EnduraView™ video optimization technology to select the best image quality and frame rate for the target Endura
product (decoder, workstation, console), all without affecting the system recording rate. For example, the unit selects a high rate and quality
setting for recording and alarm conditions; it selects a lower rate for simple monitoring.
The EW5301T automatically detects the video standard (PAL or NTSC) and accepts both color and black-white analog video.
The EW5301T can be configured for three alarm inputs and one relay output. When an alarm event is triggered, the unit can send a message to
an operator, trigger a relay, and implement video recording.
The unit also supports activity detection. You can configure up to three activity zones, each with its own independent sensitivity and threshold
settings. When the EW5301T detects activity in any of these areas, it can trigger an alarm event.
The video encoder supports one audio input over the network. The system operator (security personnel) can see and hear activity in the target
area.
All Endura products support Pelco P/Pelco D and Coaxitron® protocols. As a result, the EW5301T supports control of remote peripherals such as
pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras.
You can associate a cluster of EW5301T video encoders with an EW5001 that is configured as an access point. If you configure an EW5002 with two
access points, you can associate one cluster with one access point and another cluster with the second access point. Refer to Application Scenario on
page 9 and Site Selection on page 11 for more information.

Site Preparation
Before you install the EW5301T, complete the following:
• Select a site for the EW5301T.
• Install a mount for the EW5301T.
• Wire the site for power.
• Install the camera system.
• Wire the multifunction cable for any audio, alarms, relays, and serial PTZ control lines.
• Install the antenna.
•Optional: Configure the network and wireless settings for the EW5301T on a workbench.
SITE SELECTION
Site selection should be performed by a Pelco-certified wireless design consultant, who will address the following issues as part of their site
plan. Then follow the design as specified by the consultant.
The EW5301T uses radio waves to communicate with an EW5001 or EW5002 unit in access point mode. Select a location with clear line-of-sight
from the EW5301T to the EW5001 or EW5002. Buildings, trees, and other obstacles will affect communication.
Maximum distance from the EW5301T to an EW5001 or an EW5002 access point is affected by site characteristics, unit transmission rate, and
antenna options. It is also affected by the “noise floor.” The noise floor is the sum of all noise sources and unwanted signals in the area between
transmitter and receiver. It may include thermal noise, objects between transmitter and receiver, and any interfering signals.
12 C2677M (7/07)
MOUNT INSTALLATION
The EW5301T includes two major mounting components. The unit itself attaches to the J-box. The J-box attaches to any mount with a standard
Pelco four-bolt pattern.
Before selecting a mount, plan the wiring paths for power, video, serial PTZ control, alarm, relay, and audio. The J-box has three openings: one on
the top, one on the bottom, and one in the mount surface. Select a mount that facilitates the wiring paths. Table A lists compatible Pelco mounts:
Table A. Compatible Pelco Mounts
NOTE: Make sure the mount supports at least 25 lbs (11.4 kg) for the EW5301T. If installing additional equipment to the mount, make sure the
mount will support the total weight of the EW5301T and the additional equipment.
Install the mount (refer to the mount documentation for more information).

POWER WIRING
The EW5301T video encoder is designed to operate from either a 12 VDC or a 24 VAC power supply. It automatically senses power type and
polarity (DC). The unit can be powered from a Pelco WCS Series power supply or any other environmentally rated power unit that supplies
12 VDC ±10% or 24 VAC ±10%. Unit power consumption is 14 W (23.3 VA).
Be sure to supply adequate power to the site for the EW5301T (23.3 VA) as well as the camera system and any alarms, relays, or audio
equipment. Table B identifies the necessary wire gauge and maximum cable distance to supply power to the mount site. This table applies to
2-conductor solid copper wire. (Reduce distance by 10 percent for stranded copper wire.) These are the recommended maximum distances for 24
VAC applications and are based on a maximum allowable voltage drop of 10 percent.
The EW5301T includes a 10-foot (3 m) cable with an environmentally-rated plug for connecting power to the unit. Connect the power lines to the
power cable at the mount site, as indicated (refer to Unit Installation on page 23 for more information):
NOTES:
• Be sure to use environmentally-rated connectors when connecting power to the EW5301T. Otherwise, unit reliability may suffer.
• The power cable may include other leads that are not be used.
• Installers should consult local, state, and federal code requirements before installing this cable or running this cable inside any building.
Installers should also use best practices when terminating this or any other cable lead.

CAMERA SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Before installing the camera system, be sure to select the PTZ protocol and wire accordingly. Pelco’s Coaxitron protocol only requires the coaxial
cable for PTZ control. Pelco P and Pelco D both require separate PTZ control leads, which must be implemented with the multifunction cable.
(Refer to Multifunction Cable Wiring on page 15 and Connecting a PTZ Device (Pelco P/Pelco D) on page 21 for more information.)
Also, make sure the distance from the EW5301T to the camera is less than the maximum distance for the coaxial cable (refer to Table C for
maximum video coaxial cable distances).
Table C. Video Coaxial Cable Requirements
*Cable requirements:
75-ohm impedance
All-copper center conductor; steel-center conductor cable may result in poor performance
All-copper braided shield with 95% braid coverage
Install the camera system according the documentation supplied with the camera system. Use outdoor rated coaxial cable and connectors. You
can purchase acceptable cables from Pelco or other cable suppliers.
Connect the coaxial cable to the camera system video output.
NOTE: Be sure to use environmentally-rated connectors when connecting the video input to the EW5301T. Otherwise, unit reliability may suffer.

CONNECTING ALARMS
The EW5301T offers three alarm inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Each encoder supports both
normally open and normally closed devices. Each encoder also supports both supervised and unsupervised alarms.
Once configured, an alarm input can invoke many different activities, including triggering a relay device, sending an alert to a security office,
changing the video recording settings, and storing pre-alarm video to an NVR5100 Series recorder or a DVR5300 Series recorder. You can connect
switches or contacts directly to the unit without a separate power supply.
Supervised Alarms
When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the EW5301T maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit (3.3 VDC,
1 kohm). If the alarm circuit length changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal state. Therefore, the
unit triggers an alarm.
NOTE: Install the 1-kohm resistor as close to the switch as possible.
Figure 6 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.

Unsupervised Alarms
When an alarm is configured as an unsupervised alarm, the EW5301T only triggers an alarm when the normal alarm state (open or closed)
changes.
Figure 8 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of an unsupervised alarm input. A normally closed alarm input can be defeated with a
bypass. A normally open input can be defeated with a cut.

CONNECTING A PTZ DEVICE (PELCO P/PELCO D)
NOTE: PTZ devices can be installed using the MCC-PR or MCC-PA multifunction cables.
The EW5301T supports serial camera control using Pelco P or Pelco D (RS-422) for a PTZ device. You can connect only one serial PTZ device to a
video encoder. The default Pelco P/Pelco D device address is 1.
When the EW5301T receives a camera control command, it transmits that command to the PTZ device. In four-wire installations, the encoder
also receives data from the PTZ device, including camera status and alarm states. It then transmits that data to the command center.
To wire the PTZ device, connect the camera control leads to the multifunction cable, as indicated:
Figure 11 shows how to connect a Spectra dome to the multifunction cable.
Figure 11. Connecting a Spectra Dome
NOTE: When connecting a PTZ device to the EW5301T, connect the TX+ and TX- leads to the RX+ and RX- leads between the encoder and the

Table E. Serial Port Options and Defaults
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The EW5301T includes a planar antenna with integrated mount (ANTP-2-9 or ANTP-5-8). These are the only antennas that can be mounted
directly to the EW5301T. Any other antenna must be mounted separately.
Before installing either an integrated antenna or a separate antenna, consider the following:
• Make sure the elevation (height) and azimuth (horizontal angle) match at both wireless antenna sites. The units cannot connect unless the
antennas are pointing at each other. Antenna misalignment causes the most problems for most wireless installations.
• To limit signal loss, use the shortest cable possible. For every 3 ft (0.91 m) of length, antenna cables lose about 1.0 dB at 5.8 GHz or about
0.7 dB at 2.4 GHz.
If you are using the integrated antenna, you will mount it to the EW5301T as part of the installation procedure (refer to Unit Installation on
page 23).
To install a separate antenna, refer to the Endura Wireless Antenna Installation manual (C2698M).
BENCH SETUP (OPTIONAL)
The EW5301T is designed for easy installation and configuration. Most default settings are automatically configured, including network IP
addresses, DHCP server, encryption, wireless channels, and connection speed. However, in some cases, it will be necessary to configure the unit
on a workbench before installing it on its mount.
In some cases, it will be necessary to configure the unit on a workbench before installing it on its mount. You will need a service cable and a
bench power cable. Refer to the EW5301T Configuration manual (C2683M) and the service cable manual for more information.

Antenna Alignment
To achieve the best results, the final step is to align the antenna on the EW5301T with the antenna on the access point (EW5001 or EW5002).
The Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) port provides an easy way to help align the antenna for the best possible signal level.
RSSI is a function of transmission power, receiver sensitivity at a specific link speed, antenna alignment, and the noise floor. One way to improve
the RSSI is to use a lower link speed.
The EW5301T regularly calculates the RSSI value. Once calculated, it outputs this power level to the RSSI connector, where you can read it with
a digital voltmeter (DVM). The RSSI value ranges from 0 V to 3.3 V. When adjusting the antenna, get as close to 3.3 V as possible.
For this procedure, you will use the RSSI connector on the rear panel and a DVM with a BNC adapter.
To align the antenna:
1. Make sure the following indicators are solid green before proceeding:
• EW5301T: LED 1 and LED 2
• EW5001: LED 4
• EW5002: LED 4 or LED 5
2. Make sure the EW5001 or EW5002 is operational and configured as an access point.
3. Point the antenna toward the access point.
4. Set the scale on the DVM for 0 VDC to 6 VDC.
5. Uncap the RSSI connector on the EW5301T (refer to Figure 23).
NOTE: The cap is attached to the EW5301T; you will reinstall it later to protect the unit from weather damage.
Figure 23. Connecting a DVM to the EW5301T
6. Connect the DVM and a BNC adapter to the RSSI connector on the EW5301T.
7. Adjust the antenna to achieve the best signal strength. The target is 3.3 VDC.
8. Tighten the antenna mounting hardware.
9. Disconnect the DVM and BNC adapter from the RSSI connector on the EW5301T.
10. Reinstall the cap on the RSSI connector on the EW5301T.
NOTE: Do not skip this step; you must reinstall the cap to protect the unit from weather damage.
11. Optional: Realign the antenna on the access point.
NOTE: Only realign the antenna if distance, weather, obstructions, or other factors are affecting signal strength.
WARNING: Do not put your hand or other body part in front of a directional antenna during this procedure.
