The User Manual is available for downloading at:www.spotwave.com/2003/support/The AC power connection for the SpotCell 612 system must be completed by a licensed electrician in fullaccordance with electrical code requirements. All workon electrical utility poles must be done only by thosetrained for such work. Parts or material that is not includedbut which is required to install theSpotCell 612 system are:l 110-V AC electrical hook-up for ARU,l Ground bonding material for grounding the ARU, DU and HPCU (cable, ground rods, etc.),l DU and HPCU support poles,l ARU support pedestal (if needed),l Material such as steel bands for attaching to non-wooden supports ,or where fastening with screws is not permitted.Good physical separation between the DU and HPCU,combined with back-to-back positioning of the DU andHPCU units will optimize the coverage area.© 2002 Spotwave Wireless Inc.

Failure to maintain a safe distance from power lines or contact with gas lines could result in death or serious injury. Ensure that all appropriate safety measures are practiced at all times. WARNINGLoosen the battery clip screw and remove the clip.Connect red wire to (+)positive battery terminaland black wire to (-) neg-ative terminal. Place battery on tray and the provided thermal insulator behind battery. Replace battery clip.Replace front panel and re-fasten panel screws.Connect ground bonding cable to external ground stud on the bottom of the ARU.Follow local and nationalelectrical code requirements for bonding ground cable toa suitable ground.Energize AC power cable butleave the circuit breaker OFF. Using 40-ft RG-11 coaxial cable with green boots, connect HPCU to ARU green RF port. Install coaxial cable as specified. Using an Allen wrench open the ARU door, andremove the two front screws and front cover panel.Connect DU to ARU with RG-11 cable (160-ft typical) ordered from Spotwave. Use back ARU RF port. Install as specified. Set ARU to INSTALL modeby setting ARU mode switchto right position (opposite ACTIVE).Set ARU circuit breaker toclosed (ON) position.The HPCU LED showsGREEN when it has properDC power.Fasten DU mount to support pipe then attach DU. Align DU to the GREEN direction determined by Step 10 (or as specified in the installation service order). Set ARU to ACTIVE with mode switch. Press SCROLL button until LCD shows ‘Signal Strength/Coverage’ bar graph display.Optimize alignment for maximum coverage potential (5 bars on lower display).1. Bond DU and HPCU units to ground. Follow electrical code requirements.2. Ensure that there are drip loops on RG-11 at DU and HPCU, unless cable routing is from below.3. Complete the installation report.4. Ensure ARU door is properly closed and locked.Second Rotation - Repeat 360-dg rotation. Take noteof where LED shows GREEN - this is the directionDU must face for maximum downlink signal strength.First Rotation - At location where downlink signal into DU is best, hold the DU vertical facing away from you. Slowly rotate it in a complete circle. Ignore the LED. Mount the ARU bracket on a support at least 25-ft from the planned HPCU location. Attach the bracketwith either the provided screws or alternatively withsteel bands.Place the ARU on the mounting bracket. An eye bolton the ARU is provided to attach a lift rope ifrequired. Fasten the ARU to the bracket with the provided hardware.Ensure AC power line is de-energized (OFF), andARU circuit breaker is in the open (OFF) position. Locate and aim HPCU for coverage. Mount HPCU (same hardware as DU). HPCU and DU must not face each other. live(black)neutral(white)cableconnectorARUBack of HPCUgreenwashergreenbootsARUcableconnectorBack of DUBack to backis best.LEDLEDLoosen dome nut of 3/4” conduit fitting on cabinet bottom.
