Point-to-Multipoint BackhaulInstall and Troubleshoot5.4.1 Using one Recorder RadioThis section describes how the steps to configure one recorder radio, and multiple line station radios.To install and troubleshoot the radios:1Using the plan created in “Create Plan and Map” on page 109, install all of the radios, masts, and LIUs. Point radio pairs directly at each other where possible (see “Maintain Line-of-Sight” on page 110). Some inaccuracy is tolerable; however, align the radios as close as possible using binoculars or compass bearing.2If your configuration includes a redundant recorder radio, do not supply power to it yet (RECORDER_B). 3From the recording truck, open the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool. Verify that all of the radios are listed, and verify that each of the radios has a valid IP Address. Note the following:●If a radio is listed, that means there is an Ethernet path to the radio. ●If a line station radio has a valid IP address that means the DHCP is active, DHCP is being accepted by the radios, and DHCP is being passed from the recorder radio. ►DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 10.xxx.xxx.xxx►Non-DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 192.168.1.xxx 4If the recorder radio is the only radio listed, the problem is probably at the recorder radio. Perform the following steps:aVerify that the recorder radio is connected to the antenna.bVerify that the antenna mast is elevated to the correct height cVerify that the recorder radio has DHCP by validating the IP address displayed in the Ubiquiti Discovery tool. It should not be 192.168.1.20 (factory default). If it is 192.168.1.20, contact Wireless Seismic for DHCP support.dReload the configuration file on the recorder radio.eIf the recorder radio is still the only radio listed, proceed to the line station radios.5If a line station radio is not listed, send a troubleshooter to the radio that is not listed and perform the following steps:aVerify that the line station radio is securely connected to the LIU with a known-good cable. bVerify that the LIU has active LED lights (the battery has power).cVerify that the LIU has a flashing LNK LED. Note the following:►A flashing LNK LED confirms that the LIU can communicate over the network and obtain an IP address through DHCP.►This step helps identify the exact location in the network where communications are broken by proving the network is active between the two radios on a specific pole.►If the LNK LED is not flashing, replace the Ethernet cable.►If the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the battery.►If the LNK LED is still not flashing, reload the radio configuration file.►If the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the LIU.dVerify that a known-good Ethernet cable is securely attached to the radio.eConnect a laptop to the LIU. IMPORTANT: The Ethernet ports on the LIU are PoE enabled. When connecting a laptop computer to the LIU, use a non-powered cable (60-0039) to protect the computer’s Ethernet port. Do not use a powered Ethernet cable (60-0054). See “Ethernet Cable Connections Comparison” on page 116 for more information.

Dispose of a leaking battery pack. In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids until no evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a batteryDo not short the external contacts on a batteryDo not dispose of a battery in fire or waterDo not expose a battery to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F)Keep the battery away from childrenAvoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibrationDo not use a damaged batteryLithium Ion battery packs MUST be completely discharged before disposalAlthough there may be local or state restrictions, lithium ion batteries are considered by the Federal Government as “non-hazardous universal waste”. There are restrictions for large quantity handlers of universal waste that define labeling, containment, and so on. Whenever possible the batteries must be discharged before disposal. Battery leads/contacts should be taped off to prevent accidental shorting. Each battery pack should be placed in a plastic bag.Recycling is encouraged when practical and applicable. The batteries contain recyclable material and are accepted by several battery recycling companies. Refer to one of the following for more information on recycling and disposal:●http://www.swe.com Connector 5-pin —LED One LED that indicates charging status when connected to the charging station as follows• Green – Charged• Red – Charging• Amber – Transitional phase between charging and charged, or charge temperature limits exceededLabel One bar code serial number label —Temperature Operating From -40°C to +85°CCharging From -5°Cto+45°CAmbient Storage • From -20°C to +45°C for a maximum period of one month• From -20°C to +35°C for a maximum of 6 months, after which time the battery packs will need to be recharged to above 50% capacityTable 7–1  Lithium Ion Battery Specifications  (cont.)Item Description Value

An example is shown in the previous figure (“Example Battery Shipping Label” on page 138).7.1.4 StorageProper storage and maintenance of Lithium Ion batteries is essential to maximize their useful life and avoid catastrophic failure. Observe the following storage precautions:Remove the batteries from the WRU for storageThe recommended storage temperature for Lithium ion batteries is as follows:●From -20°C to +45°C for a maximum period of one month●From -20°C to +35°C for a maximum of 6 months, after which time the battery packs will need to be recharged to above 50% capacity●Storing at cooler temperatures slows down self discharge and capacity loss over time. Store the batteries at 25°C or less if possibleThe recommended storage charge levels are as follows:●Charge (or discharge) batteries to a 30% to 50% charge level before placing into storage. Higher or lower charge levels can reduce the battery life.●Never store the battery completely depleted of charge unless for disposal.●Periodic charging is necessary to maintain 30% to 50% charge when stored for a long period of timeStore batteries in a well ventilated areaDo not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in the product or in storage. When a battery has been unused for 6 months, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the battery as appropriate.WARNINGWARNINGThe information contained in this document is intended to provide general awareness of battery regulations; it is not comprehensive, and the requirements referenced herein may have changed.

A sighting compass has the same features as a baseplate compass, but adds a vertical mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the landmark at the same time. For a in-depth descriptions of using a compass with a map and setting the declination on a compass see the following links:http://www.compassdude.com/default.shtml http://www.compassdude.com/compass-declination.shtml http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/navigation-basics.html http://www.thecompassstore.com/howtouseyour.html A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole which is not the same as true or geographic north. The difference between magnetic and true north is called magnetic declination. The declination value depends on your actual location on the Earth. Over time, as the Earth’s magnetic field shifts, the declination values also shift. Maps are drawn with true north at the top edge. When using a compass to navigate or locate objects, you must adjust the readings to account for the angular difference between true north ( ★) and magnetic north (MN). The declination value is marked on topographical maps as shown in the following figure:Figure F–1  Sighting Compass (70-0067)
DraftR01.b RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide 183© 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved.F. Using a CompassHowever, because of the dynamic nature of the Earth’s magnetic field, old maps are inaccurate. To obtain the most recent declination values, enter your map location at the following link:http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination To locate an object using a map and a compass:1Place the long edge of the compass baseplate on the map, connecting the desired start and end points. For example, the start point could be where you are standing [A], and the end point [B] is where you want to locate the backhaul mast. The Direction of Travel arrow should point towards the end point (mast location). 2While holding the compass on the map, turn the Degree Dial until the Meridian / Orienting Lines are parallel with the Meridian lines on the map. This is the same as turning the Degree Dial until the Orienting Arrow points to north on the map. Figure F–2  Declination Indication on MapCAUTIONPlacing magnetic objects near a compass can cause an incorrect reading (deviation). Examples include:• Objects that contain steel and iron such as pocket knives, belt buckles, vehicles, railroad tracks, and ore deposits in the Earth• Objects that use magnets such as stereo speakers• Electrical current in cables and overhead lines
Draft184 RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide R01.b© 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved.F. Using a Compass3Adjust for declination. ●If you have an adjustable compass – Move the Orienting Arrow to the right or left by the declination number. When you align the magnetic needle with the Orienting Arrow, the declination is accounted for. ●If you do not have an adjustable compass – Mark the declination on your compass with a piece of tape. Align the magnetic needle with the tape mark. ●Adjust the Orienting Arrow to the left or right. For example:►For a declination of 0, no adjustment is necessary. ►For a declination of 9 (9 degrees East), move the Orienting Arrow (or place a tape mark) to the right 9 degrees.►For a declination of -9 (9 degrees West), move the Orienting Arrow (or place a tape mark) to the left 9 degrees.Figure F–3  Compass and Map
