1.0 Product Description: AES 7170 IP-Link System: MultiNet is an AES IntelliNet system that uses the Internet to forward received radio signals to a central location. At the central location a MultiNet receiver is the central controller. IP-Link Transceivers are deployed in local and or remote locations to collect IntelliNet radio signals from Subscribers that are then forwarded using the Internet, local network or backup modem, to the central MultiNet Receiver for processing and distribution.
Following is a list and diagram of key components. □ Transformer Specifications Pri: 120VAC 60Hz Sec: 16.5V 40VA or 45VA Additional Transformer information found on page 6 section 4 Figure B. Typical 7170 IP-Link Transceiver Installation All wiring and installation must comply with relevant UL installation standards and local buildings codes. Transformer and its wiring must be protected in conduit and in an AES 1640-ENCL enclosure. Unit must bonded to Earth Ground via the ground lug on PCB.
B. ASM Antenna Supervision Module (7170SWR) This module is placed in series with the RF connection between the transceiver and the antenna connector and allow the detection of antenna cut by measuring the SWR. It is powered from the board stack. When the antenna is cut, it issues a signal to the board stack that process it and issues a message to the Multinet Receiver. Upon antenna reconnection, a restoral is issue after a pre-defined time has been elapsed without any detection of antenna cut. C.
2.0 Safety Considerations: The following items are safety related precautions that you should take into consideration when installing your AES IntelliNet system. They are for your safety as well as others and the safety of your equipment. • • • Use caution when installing antennas to keep them away from electrical wires which could cause serious injury or death if antenna makes contact with live wires.
5.0 Installation: The IP-Link Transceiver installation site is a critical element of the AES IntelliNet network. Every installation is unique, taking into account structure, geography and other factors. This section covers elements of the system installation and operation. Read the entire document before proceeding with your installation. • • • • • Read the Manual and any other provided documents. Study each component to understand its mounting and installation characteristics.
is not necessary. Ideally, select an antenna height and the 7170 IP-Link Transceiver location that will use less than 50 feet of coax. If you must exceed 50 feet absolutely do not exceed 100 feet unless you use a lower loss cable than provided with the standard system. AES provides a Belden 9913 or equivalent which is a lower loss cable than standard RG-8/U. 9913 is specified as about 3 dB per 100 feet at 400 MHz, which means a loss of 50% of power in 100 feet of coax.
Solder Method: Soft solder contact to cable center conductor. Do not get any solder on outside surface of contact. Avoid excessive heat to prevent swelling of dielectric. Step 3 Install cable assembly into body assembly so inner ferrule portion slides under braid, Push cable assembly forward until contact snaps into place in insulator. Slide outer ferrule over braid and up against connector body. Crimp outer ferrule using Die Set Cavity specified in table above.
6.0 Wiring (Electrical Inputs and Outputs): Listed below are the termination points and connectors in the IP-Link Transceiver. Each connection is described in detail. All connections need to be completed before the IPLink Transceiver will be fully functional. Connections on the Interface Board. This is the 2nd board up from the bottom. J2 (16.5VAC) – AC Input.
