Site Selection: Before installation, determine the TR-AP-5amp-N Units location. Proper placement of the unit is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You should perform a Site Survey to choose a proper placement for your unit. Place your unit within the line of sight of the Access Point. Obstructions may impede performance of the unit. Tools Required to Install • One 3/8 wrench • One 3/4 wrench • One RJ-45 Crimper • A suitable length of Cat 5 Cable to bring the signal from the unit to the Power over Ethernet Adaptor • 2 RJ-45 Jacks Before installing, you must determine if you will be installing the unit in a horizontal or vertical orientation. The TR-AP-5amp-N model can be mounted in either orientation. The Ethernet boot should always be placed so that the cable runs toward the ground for maximum environmental protection.

The screws should just barely clear the tightening bracket. Apply 4 Ket nuts to the screw posts and tighten until the gasket makes full contact with the Ethernet boot. Do not over tighten. Attach optional tightening bracket on top of the Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you attach the CAT 5 cable. The Gasket must be attached to the Boot so that it sits between the radio and the boot. Insert the Cat 5 Cable and tighten the Boot Cover. Be sure to pull enough cable through to reach the RJ-45 connector with an RJ-45 jack attached. Attach tightening bracket on top of the Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you attach the CAT 5 cable. The Gasket must be attached to the Boot so that it sits between the radio and the boot. Hand tighten only.

This antenna must be grounded to a proper Earth Ground. According to the The National Electrical Code Sections 810-15s and 810-21, the grounding conductor shall be connected to the NEAREST accessible locations of the following: a) The building / structure grounding electrode b) The grounded interior metal water piping system c) the power service accessible means external to enclosure d) the metallic power service raceway e) the service equipment enclosure f) The grounding electrode conductor The important thing is to connect to ground at the nearest point. Why is coiling the LMR or CAT5 bad? The myth is that lighting follows the path of least resistance. It actually follows the path of least impedance. Coiling cables creates an air-wound transformer, which lowers the impedance. This means you are in fact making your radios a more appealing target for surges. What standard does Tranzeo Wireless equipment meet? This radio exceeds International Standard IEC 61000-4-5 when properly grounded. For a copy of the full testing report, see Report Number TRL090904 - Tranzeo Surge Protection board located on the Tranzeo website. Is lightning damaged covered by the Warranty? No. Lightning is not covered by the warranty. If you follow the instructions, you chances of lightning damage are greatly reduced, but nothing can protect a radio from a direct lightning strike.

This is because the radio is between the Exterior Antenna and the POE ground. See the examples below Ungrounded Radio ` Grounded RadioAntenna POE Radio Ground An ungrounded radio causes the surge to pass through the radio. In this case the radio most likely will be damaged. POE Antenna Radio Ground An grounded radio causes the surge to pass directly to ground, bypassing the radio.

This helps to insulate the cable from any air surges. 2) Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a loop into the cables. 3) Test all grounds to ensure that you are using a proper Ground. If using a electrical socket for Ground, use a socket tester, such as Radio Shack 22-141 4) Buy a copy of the National Electrical Code Guide and follow it. 5) If you are in doubt about the grounding at the location, drive your own rod and bond it to the house ground. At least you will know that one Rod is correct in the system. Cat 5 Cable Building
