8. As you tighten the screws, verify that the tilt and direction of the base station unit are correct for the
coverage area required.
Note: In an urban setting, with a high-placed installation, a slight downwards tilt will help reduce noise
and interference.
9. For extra security, thread the iron cable through the corner hole on the post-clamp, and the middle hole
on the WBSn-2400-S unit, securing it with the caribena provided.
Note: This will provide extra physical security for the WBSn-2400-S unit, as well as acting as a deterrent
to burglars.
Wind Loading Considerations
The Wavion WBSn-2400 weighs approximately eight kilograms, including all mounting hardware. When the
Wavion WBSn-2400 is mounted on a pole, the sail area of the WBSn-2400 is approximately 0.11 m
2
. The
Wavion WBSn-2400 can load a pole with a maximum load of 3400 Newton in wind conditions of 264 km/h
(165 mph).
You should evaluate the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities for each assembly and installation
individually.
Connecting Power and DATA
The following describes how to apply power and data to the WBSn-2400 .
Prior to connecting power to the WBSn-2400-S, ensure that you have read and performed all instructions in
the
pre-installation checklist
.
The Wavion WBSn-2400 is equipped with two RJ45 connectors. The TEST port is for engineering purposes
only. Use the ETH port to connect the PoE cable. Ensure that the TEST port is properly sealed with a plastic
cap.
Please also note the following:
Warnings
You must always install an external grounding wire. Make sure you have completed grounding
before you connect power to the WBSn-2400 .
This is not a mid-span powered device. Do not attempt to daisy-chain PoE devices.
Note:
National Electrical Codes (NEC) Article 800 requires the use of an Agency Listed (UL/CSA)
Building Entrance Protector for all power and communications cables entering a building. Article
800 is intended to protect the building and occupants from fires caused by transient voltage
and current surges.
To connect to the data port:
1. Connect a grounding cable to the grounding terminal and tighten the grounding screw firmly. See
Grounding the Data protection device
for a connection diagram.
2. Ensure that the power is turned off for the designated circuits.
3. Unscrew the plastic cap and the cap cover (see above) from the Wavion WBSn-2400.
4. Run a shielded Category 5 Ethernet cable (appropriate for outdoor use) through the cap.
Note: This cap acts as a protection device against lightning.
5. Connect one end of the Category 5 cable to the OUT port of the Wavion PoE injector.
6. Connect the other end of the Category 5 Ethernet cable to the ETH port on the Wavion WBSn-2400.
Note: Use a shielded RJ45 8-pin modular plug to terminate the cables at the required length.
7. After connecting the Ethernet cable to the ETH port, close and firmly tighten the plastic cap. This
ensures perfect sealing and IP-67 compliance.
