T0006326_UG Confidential Version 0.4 Page 7 of 16 2 Installation 2.1 Safety Precautions The Dish Macro Gateway must be installed in a restricted access location (such that touching of the Gateway by non-service persons is not likely). The Dish Macro Gateway may become hot to the touch during normal operation at elevated ambient temperatures. The Dish Macro Gateway has no internal field serviceable parts. The Gateway module must only be opened by an approved TEKTELIC service center. All installation practices must be in accordance with the local and national electrical codes. Do not work on the system during periods of lightning activity. The Dish Macro Gateway is considered permanently connected equipment. The Protective Earth Ground connection (that is, the two-hole lug to chassis ground) is always required. Ensure the Dish Macro Gateway Protective Earth Ground connection is properly terminated prior to the connection of any other interface. The Dish Macro Gateway contains primary lightning surge suppression on the Direct DC power port, the Copper Ethernet port, and the LoRa RF antenna port. The primary lightning protectors have the ability to bridge the interface to chassis isolation boundary during over-
voltages. Ensure that the Protective Earth Ground connection is always in place. Ensure that the Dish Macro Gateway is secured to eliminate any physical hazard to people or property. The Gateway must be securely mounted according to the mounting instructions prior to any cable connection and operation. The Dish Macro Gateway does not contain a power disconnection device; a readily accessible disconnection device must be incorporated external to the Dish Macro Gateway. The direct DC powered Dish Macro Gateway shall be supplied through an input overcurrent protection device rated not more than 10 A. The overcurrent protection must have the appropriate current interrupt capacity for the power source and must be incorporated into the non-earthed conductor(s) of the Dish Macro Gateway DC supply. For the direct DC power input, the DC positive pin must be at positive potential relative to the DC negative pin. If the polarity is reversed, the unit will not sustain damage but will not operate until the connection polarity is corrected. DISH Macro Gateway User Guide TEKTELIC Communications Inc. T0006326_UG Confidential Version 0.4 Page 8 of 16 Although the Dish Macro Gateway can be powered through either the direct DC input or the power over Ethernet (PoE) input, simultaneous application of power to both inputs may result in unexpected operation and shall be avoided. The Dish Macro Gateway power source must meet SELV requirements. Always ensure the 3G/4G Modem SIM card access port is properly sealed after installing a SIM card. 2.2 Unpacking and Inspection The following should be considered during the unpacking of a new Dish Macro Gateway. 1. Inspect the shipping carton and report any significant damage to TEKTELIC. 2. Unpacking should be conducted in a clean and dry location when possible. 3.

Bolt the wall mounting bracket to the Gateway module using the supplied bolts and washers. 2. While temporarily supporting the Gateway with bracket, install the two site supplied pipe clamps, one through each of the upper and lower slotted clamp mounting points. 2.5 Ground Cable Installation The Dish Macro Gateway is considered Permanently Connected Equipment and requires a permanently connected Protective Earth Ground (PEG) conductor. The Protective Earth Ground connection is made through a 1/4 x 0.75 on center double hole lug to the ground termination point illustrated in Figure 5. The recommended ground cable gauge is #10 AWG. The Dish Macro Gateway grounding system shall follow local and national electrical codes. The Protective Earth Ground conductor terminated at the double hole lug point is mandatory and must be the first connection made to the Dish Macro Gateway during installation. Proper routing and termination of this cable is key to robust lightning withstand performance; in high susceptibility installations, every effort shall be made to minimize connection inductance and ground bed resistance. The ground cable installation steps are as follows:
1. Lightly abrade the surface of the casting ground area with a fine wire brush to remove the oxide layer. 2. Use a clean cloth to remove any debris from this surface. 3. Immediately coat the contact surface with a thin layer of anti-oxidant compound. 4. Install the ground cable through its 2-hole lug onto the chassis ground point using the two supplied 1/4 - 20 x 1/2 bolts with flat and star lock washers, torqued to 10.4 Nm (92 inlbs).
