PowerLine Coordinator™
OVERVIEW
The PowerLine Coordinator™ is a rugged and reliable communication device that serves as an intermediary between the
Smart Wires Field Devices (SWFDs) for power flow control and the PowerLine Gateway™. 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.

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 of
the 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 national
codes, and the safety directives of such environments.

DEPLOYING THE POWERLINE COORDINATORS ON YOUR NETWORK
Prior to beginning the actual PowerLine Coordinator deployment, perform these tasks:
•
•
Ensure that an RF site survey has been performed.
Ensure that your network infrastructure devices are operational and properly configured.
To deploy PowerLine Coordinators, follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Obtain the PowerLine Coordinator location map created during your building site survey.
Review the PowerLine Coordinator locations and identify the specific mounting methods required for each
PowerLine Coordinator location.
Mount the PowerLine Coordinator at the indicated destination using the specified mounting method. For
specific mounting instructions, contact your Smart Wires’ representative.
Connect the chassis ground to a proper ground point as required by your local building code.
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
Step 2
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.
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.

CONNECTING THE POWER CABLES
The PowerLine Coordinator receives power through the external power sources. Figure 2-4 shows the power options for the
PowerLine Coordinator with AC/DC configuration.
Figure 7: PowerLine Coordinator Power Options
(48 VDC)
The PowerLine Coordinator power options are listed below:
•
•
•
•
(100-240 VAC)
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. Contact your Smart Wires’ representative for additional information as needed.
AUX CONNECTOR
The PowerLine Coordinator is provisioned with an AUX connector for Opto-isolated type external
inputs and DC power sources. Contact your Smart Wires’ representative for additional information for
provisioning these input/power contacts.
