1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Functional Overview
The Vecima Networks TRI2525B is an outdoor RF transceiver for use in broadband wireless systems.
The TRI2525B combines a low noise downconverter, high power upconverter, antenna and high
rejection duplexer to offer a fully integrated solution for 3.5 GHz subscriber terminals. The TRI2525B
integrated subscriber transceiver serves to frequency translate and amplify the upstream and
downstream signals to the appropriate intermediate frequencies for use by the indoor DOCSIS modem.
The TRI2525B and antenna are situated outdoors and connected to a cable modem indoors by a low
cost 75 ohm cable (i.e. RG-59, RG-6 or similar). A single RF F-connector on the weatherproofed
enclosure provides the interface to the transmit/receive antenna for rapid installation.

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
The following hardware is included in the box for mounting the brackets to the pole:
•
1 L-bracket (taped to one of the foam pieces inside the box)
•
1 pole catch
•
1 V-bolt
•
4 #10-32 flange locknuts for connecting L-bracket to cover
•
2 ¼ - 20 flange locknuts for connecting V-bolt and pole catch to the pole
The TRI2525B was designed for mounting on 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.
Step 1 – Attach L-Bracket to TRI2525B
Before the unit can be attached to the pole, the L-bracket must be attached in the correct orientation
according to the polarization required for the particular customer installation. Diagram 2.2A shows the
orientation of the bracket relative to the cover for both horizontal and vertical polarization.
The active or desired polarization is the one in which the arrow points up. For example, when the
TRI2525B is mounted on the pole, if the arrow pointing up on the back of the TRI2525B says “Horizontal
Polarization” then the horizontal polarization is the active polarization. When the TRI2525B is mounted
on the pole, if the arrow pointing up on the back of the TRI2525B says “Vertical Polarization”, the
vertical polarization is the active polarization
Secure the L-bracket to the cover using the #10-32 locknuts.

DIAGRAM 2.2A: L-BRACKET ORIENTATION
Once the L-bracket is in place, the unit can be mounted to the pole. The pole catch, V-bolt and Lbracket are oriented as shown in Diagram 2.2B.

STEP 2 – Position V-bolt and pole catch around pole
To attach the TRI2525B to the pole, first position the pole catch over the threads of the V-bolt and hold
against the pole with one hand.

STEP 3 – Position TRI2525B against pole
Using the other hand, bring the TRI2525B up to the pole catch and grab V-bolt, pole catch and Lbracket in a single hand. Ensure that the pole is inside the “L” of the L-bracket and not on the outside of
the L. This is necessary to maintain antenna alignment during high winds.
STEP 4 – Tighten TRI2525B against pole
Tighten both ¼” locknuts against the L-bracket so that the unit is held against the pole but can still be
rotated and tilted up and down for antenna alignment. The locknut closest to the antenna can be
tightened almost all the way while the back one should be approximately finger tight.

2.3 Connection to the Power Inserter and Cable Modem
Connections to the TRI2525B are made as shown in Diagrams 2.2B and 2.3A.
Please note:
1) Connect the TRI2525B F-Connector to the power inserter, located indoors with the cable modem.
The power inserter is then connected to the Cable Modem, only after the antenna is aligned. The
power inserter has three connections:
DC POWER
Connect to wall adapter with the supplied RG-59 cable with F
connectors
TO MODEM
Connect to cable modem (install modem only after the antenna is
aligned)
TO TRANSCEIVER Connect to TRI2525B
WARNING!
If the power inserter is not correctly connected, the TRI2525B 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).
2) After connection, the F connector must be waterproofed with the supplied rubber sealing tape. See
Section 2.4 for details.

2.4 Waterproofing Connections
This will provide moisture protection and keep the connections tight. Vecima Networks has provided a
6-inch length of rubber self-amalgamating sealing tape to use on the TRI2525B F-connector.
Step 1
Use a 6” section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the TRI2525B end, stretch the tape and wrap it
around the connector as close as possible to the wall of the TRI2525B. 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.
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 TRI2525B end and without breaking
the tape, wrap back down to the cable end.

When done, the connection should be tightly wrapped with tape, with a good seal to the cable.

3.0 ALIGNING THE ANTENNA
3.1 Preparation for Tuning
Before tuning the antenna insure that the cable modem is not connected to the power inserter. The
cable modem signal will prevent the signal strength indicator from responding to very weak receive
signals.
3.2 Signal Strength and Alignment
The TRI2525B is equipped with an audible alignment aid that simplifies the setup process. It permits
alignment to the hub site without the use of the cable modem or any test equipment.
The aid consists of a level detector for the full receive band, and a beeper sealed into the unit that
sounds at a rate that increases with increasing level. The beeper is activated only for about 3 to 10
minutes each time power is applied to the TRI2525B.
To use the aid, first mount the TRI2525B. If the unit is difficult to tilt or turn, loosen the locknuts on the
V-bolts slightly. Apply power to the TRI2525B when you are ready to begin. The beeper will start
sounding. Point the TRI2525B in the general direction of the hub site, then move it to maximize the rate
of the beeper. The highest rate heard represents the highest receive signal level and the best
alignment. Once the antenna alignment is complete, tighten the locknuts to secure the TRI2525B to the
pole. The beeper will automatically mute between 3 and 10 minutes after the unit was powered up,
turning off faster with higher received signal level.
The detector operates over a wide level range. Installations that are closer to the hub site and
consequently receive a larger signal will have a higher beep rate than an installation further out. In each
case, finding the alignment with the highest beep rate indicates the best alignment.
Note that the TRI2525B alignment aid does not discriminate between signals in the receive band. If
signals other than those from the hub are present, this could result in a misalignment. In this case, a
conventional alignment technique would need to be employed.
3.3 Resetting the Beeper
To reset the timer for alignment, simply unplug the power supply from its AC connection. Wait 5
seconds, and then plug the power supply back into its AC connection. The beeper will begin beeping as
soon as power is available.
