It is responsible for managing the ISM mesh and communication with the PowerLine Gateway for control and status reporting. The communication with the PowerLine Gateway is done via a proprietary and secure protocol over TCP/IP. The PowerLine Coordinator is an important component of the Smart Wires’ End-to-End (E2E) Communication and Control System that enables the utility to seamlessly commission, observe, control, and maintain the overall Smart Wires’ solution. PowerLine Coordinator Front View PowerLine Coordinator Rear View (Dual Power Option shown for representative purposes) SAFETY INFORMATION Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the PowerLine Coordinator. FCC SAFETY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. When used with approved Smart Wires antennas, Smart Wires’ products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper installation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits. GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES •Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.•Do not hold any component containing a radio so that the antenna is very close to or touching any exposed parts ofthe body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.•The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the local codes, the nationalcodes, and the safety directives of such environments.

Step 2 Review the PowerLine Coordinator locations and identify the specific mounting methods required for each PowerLine Coordinator location. Step 3 Mount the PowerLine Coordinator at the indicated destination using the specified mounting method. For specific mounting instructions, contact your Smart Wires’ representative. Step 4 Connect the chassis ground to a proper ground point as required by your local building code. Step 5 Mount all antennas using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure that base of the antenna is properly secured and grounded. Use lightning arrestors for exterior mounting with additional ground connections as required by the arrestor part selected. CONNECTING THE 866/915 MHz AND 2.4 GHz ANTENNAS (*2.4Ghz not supported in this version)The PowerLine Coordinator supports a single antenna or dual diversity antennas. Two N-Type antenna connectors are there for each radio on the back of the unit for the 866/915MHz and 2.4 GHz radio for redundancy (* 2.4 GHz operation is not supported in this version and is provisioned for future use). The appropriate frequency for your specific installation is selected at the factory and is not user selectable. Depending upon the features ordered, a cellular backup option may be provisioned in your PowerLine Coordinator for redundant communication. Contact your Smart Wires’ representative for details about your system configuration. To attach your antenna or antenna cable to the PowerLine Coordinator, follow these steps: Step 1 Attach an antenna or antenna cable to the 866/915MHz, Right N-Type antenna connector on the back of the PowerLine Coordinator and hand tighten. If you are using two antennas for redundancy, attach the second antenna or antenna cable to the 866/915MHz, Left N-Type antenna connector. Step 2 Make sure antenna-mounting bracket should be properly grounded through lightning arrestor as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Antenna and Lightening Arrestor The recommended antenna and lightening arrestor for use with the PowerLine Coordinator are the OMB.8912.05F21 and ALQP-NMNFB respectively. Equivalent antennas may be used, but the EIRP of the setup shall not exceed the limits imposed by local authorities having jurisdiction over the RF spectrum. Contact your Smart Wires’ representative for details and additional information. Figure 3: Lightning Surge Arrestor

Figure 2-4 shows the power options for the PowerLine Coordinator with AC/DC configuration. Figure 7: PowerLine Coordinator Power Options The PowerLine Coordinator power options are listed below: •Each PowerLine Coordinator receives redundant power supplies.•AC/AC or DC/DC configurations with wide-range power suppliers are also available.•Provide the redundant power inputs as per ordered configuration.•Power rating of each PowerLine Coordinator unit is 20 W maximum (~420 mA @ 48 VDC nominal input / ~100 mA @220 VAC nominal input).CONNECTING THE LAN CABLES The PowerLine Coordinator connects to the network through a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface using SFP based RJ45 Ethernet or fiber connection. Use only double shielded Ethernet cables grounded at both ends for protection of the communication infrastructure and components. Contact your Smart Wires’ representative for buying additional Ethernet/Fiber cables as needed. USB PORT The PowerLine Coordinator is provisioned with a USB console/maintenance port. This port is used by your Smart Wires’ representative to access the system for configuration/diagnostic purposes only and is not populated with any cables during normal use.
