Remote Radio wiring and Installation
RadarFind Remote Radios are connected to their Collectors with standard Ethernet Cat5e cabling. The
power and signaling used on the cables between the Collectors and the Remote Radios is not Ethernet,
although the wiring and connector pattern is the same.
Note: Never connect a Remote Radio or the Remote Radio connections on a Collector to a
standard Ethernet device or switch.
A Collector may have from 2 to 4 Remote Radios attached. Each Remote Radio location is uniquely
numbered and indicated on the facility plans provided to the installer. Each wiring run between a
Collector and a Remote Radio is identified by a unique ID which are to be clearly marked at both ends of
the cable runs to match the installation plans. (e.g. A cable run from Collector 3WE1 to Remote Radio
3WE1A) Remote Radios must be wired to the specific Collectors as indicated on the plans.
Fig 1 – Standard termination box for Remote Radio cabling at Collector location
Note: If some extraordinary circumstance prevents wiring from being installed as shown on the
plans contact RadarFind for possible alternate solutions.
At the Collector end punch cable runs into a patch box or patch panel and mark with the Remote Radio
ID.
At the Remote Radio end label the cable with the Remote Radio ID and either 1-terminate the cable in an
RJ45 connector or 2-punch down to a surface mounted box with a jumper. The final cable that connects
to the Remote Radio should be white to match the case.
Leave 15’ of coiled extra cable, or jumper, at the Remote Radio end to allow the device to be moved if
required to optimize performance.

Mounting Remote Radios below the ceiling grid.
Mount the Remote Radio under the ceiling tile grid using the clips provided on the back of the case. Dress
wire neatly, and position one antenna horizontally – facing across the hall - and the other vertically –
facing down.
Fig 2 – Standard mounting for Remote Radio
Note: Any Remote Radio may be used at any location.
Mounting Remote Radios above the ceiling grid.
RadarFind Remote Radios should be mounted under the ceiling grid for best performance. If facility
regulations require that the Remote Radios be mounted above the ceiling grid they should be placed in
such a way that the antennas are well clear of nearby metal objects. A special bracket is available which
attaches to the ceiling grid suspension wire.

Collector Installation
Preparing for Collector Installation
Site Selection Criteria
The selection of the mounting location for the Collector and routing of wiring must be accomplished under
the direction of the facilities engineer and the safety engineer responsible for the proposed building or
location.
The Collector installation location must be indoors and protected from all weather and water. The
mounting surface must be 3/4" plywood (or equivalent) for secure and safe attachment. It is
recommended that the location be in a secured area such as a locked electrical or IT utility closet.

Typical Collector Installation
Each RadarFind Collector is labeled and the accompanying installation documentation designates where
each specific Collector is to be placed.
Note: Collectors MUST be placed in the designated locations according to the installation
documentation and plugged into the correct Ethernet and Remote Radio connections.
Installing the Collector
Select a location where the Collector can be easily accessed and the front end with the connectors and
LEDs can be accessed and viewed after installation. For installations where a single Collector is installed
select a location adjacent to the Remote Radio terminal block

Installation Procedure
Hold Collector level against wall in desired location and mark the right-most slot of all four mounting
holes.
Figure 6: Marking locations for Collector mounting screws
Set Collector aside and insert four mounting screws into marked holes with about ¼” inch exposed.
Figure 7: Collector on mounting screws after tightening.
Position the Collector in place on the four screw heads, slide Collector to left and tighten screws

Figure 8: Remote Radio connector block.
Remote Radio punch-down or termination blocks panels will be marked with the ID of each Remote Radio
for the Collector.
The Remote Radio ID # ends in A,B,C, or D, which corresponds with the jack ID on the Collector. Each
Collector may have 2, 3, or 4 Remote Radios.
Mark 4 jumper cables on both ends with their letter designation A/B/C/D and cable each Remote Radio
jack to the matching jack on the Collector A-A, B-B, etc.

Figure 9: Remote Radio jumpers marked and connected to connector block.
Clearly mark and connect an Ethernet jumper from the Collector to the correct P.O.E. enabled port on the
Ethernet switch. If no P.O.E. port is available an injector may be used, or an external power supply is
available from RadarFind.
