INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS 1.1 Base Station synopsis Sigfox base stations operate on reception on a specific frequency bandwidth used by sigfox terminals. They are also able if necessary to transmit information to do single or multi-cast back to these terminals. The base stations include a complete system described in the following synopsis. The antenna characteristics depend on the operating frequency band and specific site constraints (gain, height, etc.). Sigfox will provide the transceiver unit called Sigfox Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 and the corresponding antenna low noise switch/amplifier (LNAC or LNA). This component integrates a low noise amplifier in reception mode and a switch that bypasses this stage in transmission mode. This device characteristic depends also on operating frequency bands applicable in the region. Sigfox Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 series are ultra-wide range, high linearity transceivers units and feature first class performance radio and innovative software defined processing, for use in Ultra Narrow Band Machine-To-Machine wireless communication systems. Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version 3 can have a pre-set receiver frequency depending on the radio regulation applicable in the region. This choice is made by a specific software configuration.

It is fixed on the RF connector. 4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The base station must be connected to a power point with electrical protection according to standards. The base station can operate with DC supply voltage (limits 10.5 to 14.0 V) or with AC to DC adapter. Figure: power supply input In case the Base station is connected to mains by its electrical cable, the electrical plug must be easily reachable in order to remove the cable. In case the electrical plug is not easily reachable it is mandatory to have a circuit breaker system easily accessible for any technician in order to switch off completely the installation. 4.1 Earthing Earthing all components is extremely important. The reasons are:  Protection against lightning strikes;  Evacuation of static electricity in the cables and equipment.

WATERPROOFNESS Coaxial cable, connectors, and overall cables, performance and lifetime strongly depend on waterproofness level. The main purpose of ensuring waterproofness is to avoid the direct contact with water and thus prevent connectors oxidation and also protect against steam, salt and dust. The connectivity cover insures the waterproofness of the base station itself. The gasket must be correctly positioned in the groove of the cover. Once the USB Key is connected to the station, the Ethernet and power cable and are passed through the pipe of the cover and connected to the station, and bumpers are placed around the cables. The cover must be screwed on the front panel of the station. Ethernet cable Gasket (toric joint) Urethane bumper Power supply cable
