BelAir Networks recommends that a site survey be completed to best determine your coverage needs, installation limitations and optimal node configurations. Contact an authorized reseller to help you with this planning. Antenna Type and Placement Proper antenna placement, orientation and selection are critical factors in maximizing network performance. The antennas are typically placed between 5 m and 10 m above ground level; although alternate installations can be used. Additionally, the antennas should be located with clear lines of site to adjacent equipment in the system and free from obstruction by buildings, foliage and passing traffic. WARNING! Only antennas approved by BelAir Networks may be used in conjunction with the BelAir200. Contact BelAir Networks for an up-to-date list of available approved antennas. Use of any other antenna may exceed FCC or Industry February 19, 2004 Confidential Document Number BDTK20001-A02 Standard Page 6 of 17 BelAir200 Installation Guide Canada regulatory requirements and void the operators right to operate the radio equipment. WARNING!
Installers must ensure the BelAir200 is mounted in such a manner and in such a location that access to the antennas by the general population is minimized. Access to the antennas by the general population should be limited to greater than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation. February 19, 2004 Confidential Document Number BDTK20001-A02 Standard Page 7 of 17 BelAir200 Installation Guide Mounting the BelAir200 Only qualified personnel should mount the Belair200. The BelAir200 is designed to be mounted on a surface or structure that is capable of supporting its weight (28 pounds). It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the strength of the structure to be mounted to. The Belair200 is supplied with a standard mounting kit in Box 2 that accommodates pole or wall mounting in either an upright or upside-down orientation. If your mounting requires a custom solution, contact BelAir Networks. Installation Procedure 1. Remove the Belair200 from its packaging in Box 1. See Figure 3 Figure 3: BelAir200 in its Packaging February 19, 2004 Confidential Document Number BDTK20001-A02 Standard Page 8 of 17 BelAir200 Installation Guide 2. With a Philips screwdriver, remove the two lower plastic covers. There are two screws per cover. Keep these screws because you will use them later. Figure 4: Removing Lower Covers from BelAir200 3. Familiarize yourself with the connector field. See Figure 5 on page 10, If you are making external backhaul antenna connections, this is a good time to decide which radio port to use. Be sure to record this information on the Configuration Worksheet. February 19, 2004 Confidential Document Number BDTK20001-A02 Standard Page 9 of 17 BelAir200 Installation Guide Figure 5: Connection Field 4. If you are using the optional battery pack, remove the battery access door and insert the battery into its compartment. Install the battery door and plug in the battery connector. Note: Do not force the battery connector; it is keyed. 5. Remove the mounting kit from Box 2 and familiarize yourself with the components. 6. If you are mounting to an aluminium, concrete or wood pole, skip to step 9. 7. Locate the drill template and using an appropriate ladder or elevating device, mark and drill the four mounting holes for the hardwall anchors. Follow the instructions found in the bag of anchors. Caution must be observed when working around high voltage lines. Be sure to Check Overhead before ascending pole or wall. Depending on your location, you may need the services of a Certified Contractor to obtain access to utility poles. February 19, 2004 Confidential Document Number BDTK20001-A02 Standard Page 10 of 17 BelAir200 Installation Guide 8. Following the instructions included in the bag of anchors to mount the universal bracket. Skip to step 10. 9. Using the supplied jubilee clamps, securely fasten the mounting bracket to the utility pole. Note: Certain jurisdictions may require the use of a certified contractor for utility pole access. When mounting to wooden poles, you may be required to install a bolt through the pole. These are not supplied with the basic installation kit. Consult your reseller or local utility operator for specific requirements. 10. Once the bracket has been securely mounted in its desired location, you are ready to install the Belair200 Unit. See Figure 6. Figure 6: BelAir200 Mounted on a Typical Pole, Ready for Pointing February 19, 2004 Confidential Document Number BDTK20001-A02 Standard Page 11 of 17 BelAir200 Installation Guide 11. Locate the threaded nipple, and screw this securely into the bottom of the Belair200. A pipe wrench or similar tool can be used for this step. 12. Lift the unit to the desired mounting location and pass the threaded nipple through the tube on the end of the mounting bracket.
For an upside-down installation, be sure to screw the locking nut into place. It is not important to tighten it fully at this point. The unit now hangs from the mount. Note: The Belair200 weighs 28 pounds, including battery. BelAir Networks recommends using a safety tether while lifting the unit until the locking nut is secured. A ring is supplied to attach the tether. 13. Rotate the Belair200 so the backhaul and access antennas point in the desired direction. Consult you site survey or the installation diagram supplied by your Reseller. Features are provided to provide a visual indication of antenna direction. 14. Once the unit is pointed, firmly tighten the locking nut and install the decorative finial. 15. Tighten the setscrews located on the mounting bracket. 16. Locate and install the AC power cable. The cable is supplied as a pigtail that must be terminated at the front end by a qualified electrician. WARNING! Only use the AC cable supplied by BelAir Networks to attach to the unit. Use of any other non-standard power cable may void regulatory requirements and is strictly prohibited. 17. If this unit is to be directly connected with an Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet cable as follows:
a. Locate the sealing bland on the bottom of the unit. b. Unscrew the gland and feed it over the Ethernet cable. c. Plug the Ethernet connector into the port on the bottom of the unit. d. Re-tighten the sealing gland. 18. Re-install the lower covers removed in step 2 using the appropriate screws. Your Belair200 is now ready to be configured. Refer to the BelAir200 User Guide.
