The Tropos 5320 router will typically recharge the UPS in approximately 10 hours.
Safety Information for the Tropos MetroMesh Router found in this manual and the hardware and software guides on the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh routers result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits. Follow these guidelines to ensure safe operation of the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh routers: Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
2 Power Consumption Several factors influence the power consumption at any given time, including the level of network traffic and whether a powered peripheral device is connected to the LAN or Management port of the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router. Temperature may also influence the power consumption for units configured with battery backup, due to the internal freeze protection capability associated with the internal battery module.
When a Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router is equipped with a battery and the router is exposed to cold temperatures (below -12 degrees C), the internal heater associated with the battery is activated. This causes the router to draw additional AC power, as shown in Figure 25.

8 Wind Loading Considerations The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards manual, “Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals,” governs most structural support issues related to traffic lighting and controls. Many state and city public works departments site the AASHTO standard as the guide for their requirements. Local municipalities in coastal states, which experience frequent hurricanes, etc.

10 Cable Termination Instructions Follow these steps to prepare and terminate cables connected to the Tropos 5320 unit: 1. Strip off the outer sheath of cable to expose 6 inches of the inner cable or twisted pairs. The shield may be armored, braided or foil type depending upon cable type (see Table 30). 2. For armored or braided cable, remove all but 1/2 inch of the armor or braid. Remove waxy residues on the shields of “flooded” type cables.
3. Run the stripped part of the cable through the cable gland (Figure 31). Make sure that the braided conductive shield of the cable makes contact with the conductive contacts of the cable gland (Figure 31). 4. Attach the cable gland by first tightening the gland base into the access cover. Then tighten the gland cover to constrict the weather-tight grommet around the outer jacket of the cable, thereby creating a weather-tight fitting.
