ground electronics.

2.1 Prerequisites

In preparation for mobilization, define the following:

Survey

Backhaul plan

TBD

2.2 Getting Ready

Collect all of the following:

RT 1000 ground equipment:

●WRUs

●LTUs (see “Backhaul” on page 27)

●One of the following antennas:

►9 dBi antenna

►7 dBi antenna

NOTE

Please refer to “Antenna Specifications” on page 85 for the list of

supported antennas. Use of accessories other than those specified in

this document is not supported or warrantied.

NOTE

The LTU includes the Base Station Unit (BSU), the Power over Ethernet

(PoE), the battery, the backhaul, and the mast.

2.3 Preparing the Equipment

Ensure that the central recording system has the latest software available installed

(see in the RT 1000 Release Notes).

Ensure that the ground equipment has the latest firmware available installed (see

in the RT 1000 Release Notes).

Ensure that the industry standard best practices are followed for securing the

equipment for transport.

2.4 Setting Up the Central Recording System

2.5.1 Prerequisites

You can attach the batteries, antennas, and geophones to the ground equipment

prior to going into to the field, or as you place each unit. If you are assembling as

you place the units, ensure that you have sufficient quantities for each unit, plus a

few spares.

The RT 1000 shall be used with only the supplied antennas (Table A–1 Antenna

Specifications, on page 85) attached to the WRU with an integrated type N male

connector.

The RT 1000 antennas shall be installed and handled by professionals

specifically designated for this purpose.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Wireless Seismic, Inc. can

void the users’s authority to operate the equipment.

2.5.2 Assembling the Ground Equipment

This section describes the process to assemble the ground equipment prior to

deployment.

To assemble the ground equipment:

1Gather the equipment:

●WRU or BSU

●Antenna

●Geophone

●Batteries

2Gather any special tools:

●Nylon grip pliers

●Loctite® 222

3Attach one or more batteries to the WRU or BSU.

●Press the battery into the connector.

●Flip the bail over the molded area on the end of the battery.

●Press the lever until the catch snaps to lock it in place.

WARNING

In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure

requirements, the RT 1000 units must be installed so that a minimum

separation distance of 20 cm is maintained between the antenna(s) and

all persons at all times during normal operation.

Figure 2–10 Installing the Antenna

TIP

When determining which antenna to use (5 dBi, 7 dBi, 9dBi), consider

the distance between WRUs, and how much vegetation is in the area.

For distances of 10 m to 30 m, use a 5 dBi antenna.

Distances of 30 m or greater, use a 7 dBi or 9dBi antenna.

For sudden elevation changes, such as cliffs, use a 2 dBi or 5 dBi

antenna.

Backhaul

4.1 Overview

In network communications, the backhaul is the part of the network that

contains the links and equipment between the core network and the sub

networks.

Wireless mesh networking is a method where each radio node in the network

captures and disseminates its own data as well as serves as a relay for other

radio nodes in the network sending data along a path, hopping from one node

to the next.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that passes electrical power along

an Ethernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB

unsuitable. Power can be supplied at the end of a network span or somewhere

in the middle. PoE switches supply power at the end of a span. PoE injectors

supply power somewhere between the PoE switch and the powered device.

They inject power and do not affect the data.

The RT 1000 Central Recording System is a fully connected mesh network of

Wireless Remote Units (WRUs) that communicate in a routing pattern (bucket-

brigade or string-of-pearls) with a Line Tap Unit (LTU) on the 2.4 GHz

Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio band.

The LTU is composed of the following:

Base Station Unit (BSU)

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

24 V Battery or Power Supply

Cables

Mast, mast base, and guy-wires

5.8 GHz backhaul radios

Antennas

The LTU communicates by way of the BSU with the Central Software System

(CSS) computer in the central recording truck along a backhaul on the 5.8 GHz

ISM radio band.

The Central Software System (CSS) communicates with the field units via the

backhaul radios. The backhaul radios act as access points for the BSUs.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that passes electrical power along an

Ethernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB unsuitable.

Power can be supplied at the end of a network span or somewhere in the middle.

PoE switches supply power at the end of a span. PoE injectors supply power

somewhere between the PoE switch and the powered device. They inject power

4.2.1.3 Battery and Power Supply

Power is supplied to the LTU components by way of a 24 Ah DC battery or power

supply.

Wireless Seismic, Inc. recommends using a protective battery case as shown in

the following figure:

Figure 4–6 PoE

TIP

The backhaul power requirements vary depending on the hardware in

use and period of use. For example, you may be using one or two

radios. Supply enough power to ensure there is enough power for the

entire duration of the time you are using the backhaul.

A 24 Ah battery is adequate if a recharged battery is installed for every

12 hours of use.
