It is designed to be installed outdoors but may also be installed indoors. It is not to be sold to, installed by or operated by the general public. Safety General The product must only be used for its intended purpose.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Professional installation instruction The product will be distributed through controlled distribution channel and installed by trained professional and will not be sold directly to the general public through retail store. 1. Installation personnel This product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by qualified personnel who has RF and related rule knowledge. The general user shall not attempt to install or change the setting. 2.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Power Supply The product must be powered using a PoE+ injector conforming to the Type 2 PSE defined in IEEE 802.3at, such as that supplied with the product. The PoE+ injector must be connected to the product using Cat 5e or better cabling. The supplied PoE+ injector requires an input voltage of 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz, and draws a current of up to 0.8 A.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Technical Specification All E1000 Series Models The Accelleran E10xx is an outdoor, LTE, single cell, single carrier, base station (eNodeB) with the following main features: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 3GPP Local Area Base Station class LTE radio conforms to 3GPP Release 11 specification S1 and Uu interfaces conform to 3GPP Release 9 specifications Channel bandwidths: 5, 10, 15, 20 MHz 2x2 MIMO Integrated GNSS system (GPS/GLONASS/BDS) for frequency
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Technical Description End to End Connectivity The overall end to end connectivity is shown in Figure 2. The EPC, OAM, optional SAS, gateways and backhaul may be supplied by the customer – details vary according to customer requirements. Figure 2: End to end connectivity External Ports The E10xx has two LTE antenna ports, an Ethernet/PoE+ port (as shown in Figure 3) and a GNSS antenna port (as shown in Figure 4).
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions connectors. Depending on the antenna type chosen, the LTE antennas can be screwed directly onto the connectors (via a Type N male to N male connector if the antenna has a Type N female connector) or can be connected via coaxial cable fitted with a Type N male connector. Ethernet connectivity and 56 VDC power supply is achieved through the RJ45 Ethernet/PoE+ port.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Lightning protection earthing point The lightning protection earthing point is located on the back of the E10xx as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 - Lightning protection earthing point LTE Antennas LTE antennas are not included with the E1010 or E1011 products. Customers may use any omni-directional antenna that meets the following specification: • gain in the operational frequency range ≤ 5.3 dBi • VSWR ≤ 1.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions • • • Mains cable for PoE+ injector Ethernet cable (1.5 m) for connecting the PoE+ injector to the backhaul equipment IP67 seal for RJ45 connector, with manufacturer’s instructions Figure 7 - Supplied accessories Note: The precise make and model of GNSS antenna and PoE+ injector, and the type of mains plug supplied may vary from those shown in Figure 7. Note2: E1012/CBRS includes also a clamp core for EMI suppression.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Installation The E10xx is designed to be installed outdoors but may also be installed indoors. A pole mounting kit is supplied. If the E10xx is to be fixed to an interior wall, an off the shelf VESA MIS-D 100 mounting bracket or similar may be used (not supplied). Installing the E10xx on a mounting pole The E10xx should be mounted with the GNSS antenna connector at the top. A standard kit is included for mounting the E10xx onto a pole.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions The E10xx with the mounting kit attached is shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: E10xx with mounting kit Grounding the E10xx Once the E10xx has been installed in its final position, it must be properly grounded using a conductor of at least 6 mm2 cross section (10 AWG) in order to protect it from lightning damage.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions 1. Connect a ground lug (not supplied) to one end of the grounding conductor (not supplied) as shown in Figure 11. 2. Remove the grounding screw of the E10xx (see Figure 11). Insert the screw through the grounding lug and screw it back firmly into the E10xx. 3. Connect the other end of the grounding conductor to earth. If there is no suitable earth point already in place, use a grounding rod as shown in Figure 12. a.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Install the LTE antennas Antennas that are equipped with a Type N male connector may be fitted directly to the connectors on the E10xx. Alternatively, antennas may be mounted separately from the E10xx using their own mounting kit and connected to the E10xx using coaxial cables terminated in Type N male connectors. For 2x2 MIMO operation, two LTE antennas are required.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions Seal the RF connectors If installed outdoors, the LTE and GNSS antenna connectors must be sealed using 3M (or similar) vinyl electrical tape and butyl mastic tape (not supplied) to prevent moisture ingress. Connect the backhaul and power The E10xx is supplied with a suitable PoE+ injector, as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14: PoE+ injector inputs and output sockets The PoE+ injector requires a 100-240 VAC, 50-60Hz, supply. It draws less than 1A.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions 5. Fit the sealing RJ45 connector to the free end of the second Ethernet cable and connect it to the RJ45 socket on the E10xx as per the sealing connector manufacturer’s instructions. 6. Secure the Ethernet cables as necessary so that they do not hang loose. 7. Finally, connect the PoE+ injector to the AC mains supply. Check LED indicators The LED indicators on the front of the E10xx are shown in Figure 15.
E1000 Series Safety and Installation Instructions connected properly to the equipment that provides the E10xx with its backhaul connection. Sync indicator Following power up, the Sync indicator remains off until the integrated GNSS function is activated. Once the GNSS function has been activated, the Sync indicator blinks slowly until enough satellites have been acquired for a timing lock. Once lock has been achieved and the E10xx has a good synchronisation source, the Sync indicator shows steady green.
