tr707_ml_r01_sd Approved: G.V. 1 Vecima Networks Inc 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Functional Overview The Vecima Networks TR707+ is a subscriber transceiver for use in wireless systems. The TR707+ and antenna are situated outdoors and connected to a cable modem indoors by standard RG-59 cable. A single RF connector on the weatherproofed enclosure provides the interface to the transmit/receive antenna for rapid setup. The transceiver is configured to work with standard cable modem frequency plans and levels, permitting direct connection. The transceiver also includes an RF mute function to reduce power consumption and broadband noise emissions. 1.2 Module Features • +24 dBm output for high reverse channel system gain • Low phase noise • Automatic transmit RF mute (transmits only when an IF signal is present) • Fully weatherized unit, suitable for outdoor mounting

2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 Unpacking the Unit Carefully remove the equipment from its packing material and set it on a solid surface, such as a table or desk. If it appears damaged in any way, notify the carrier, and keep all packing materials for inspection by the carrier’s agent. 2.2 Mounting the Unit 2.2.1 Mounting the TR707+ The following hardware is included in the box for mounting the TR707+ to the pole: • One V-bolt to secure the TR707+ to the mounting pole • Two ¼” flange locknuts to secure the V-bolt The TR707+ was designed for mounting to a pole with a diameter of 1.0" to 1.75". Please ensure that the pole used is attached securely to the building or other mounting location. Secure the TR707+ unit to a pole as shown in Figure 2.2A with F-Connector on the bottom. DIAGRAM 2.2A: MOUNTING THE UNIT Top view of TR707+ mounted on pole 2.2.2 Mounting the Antenna Mount the antenna according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ( The TR707+ is intended for use with planar arrays and Yagi antennas. Please consult table 2.2B for further information.

( Included with the TR707+ unit is a self-adhesive label for application to the antenna. To operate the TR7007+ in compliance with FCC regulations, you must apply the included label to the antenna. Peel off the protective backing from the label and affix it to the antenna such that the label is readable from a distance of 5 feet.

2.4 Connection to the Antenna Connect the TR707+ to the Antenna via the F-Connector DIAGRAM 2.3A: CONNECTION TO THE ANTENNA tr707_ml_r01_sd Approved: G.V. 5 Vecima Networks Inc
2.4 Connection to the Power Inserter and Cable Modem Connections to the TR707+ are made as shown in Diagrams 2.3A and 2.4A. The power inserter has three connections: DC POWER Connect to wall adapter with RG-59 cable with F connectors TO MODEM Connect to cable modem TO TRANSCEIVER Connect to TR707+ WARNING! If the power inserter is not connected correctly, the TR707+ will not operate, and there is the potential to damage the cable modem. Ensure that all wires and cables are hooked up before plugging into the AC adapter/power supply (i.e. hook up to the power supply last). After connection, both connectors MUST be waterproofed with the supplied rubber sealing tape. See Section 2.5 for details. DIAGRAM 2.4A: CONNECTION TO CABLE MODEM VIA POWER INSERTER tr707_ml_r01_sd Approved: G.V. 6 Vecima Networks Inc
2.5 Waterproofing Connections Many transceiver problems can be attributed to environmental conditions (including vibration), which can loosen cables and permit moisture to penetrate the connectors. It is highly recommended to seal the connectors using a technique similar to the one described below. This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections tight. For your convenience, Vecima Networks has provided two 6 inch lengths of rubber self-amalgamating sealing tape to use on the two connections of the TR707+. STEP 1 Use one 6” section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the TR707+ end, stretch the tape and wrap it around the connector as close as possible to the wall of the TR707+. Overlap the tape by approximately one-half of its width so that it can form a seal with itself. Extend the wrapping to approximately one inch past the end of the connector. DIAGRAM 2.5A: WATERPROOFING CONNECTION – STEP 1 STEP 2 Cover the sealing tape with electrical tape (not provided). Start approximately one inch further down the cable, and stretch the tape, overlapping by one-half. Wrap to the TR707+ end and without breaking the tape, wrap back down to the cable end. DIAGRAM 2.5B: WATEPROOFING CONNECTION – STEP 2 STEP 3 When done, the connection should be tightly wrapped with tape, with a good seal to the cable.
