MBW 510 Lightning Protector A lightning protector is required when the MBW 510 unit is installed in an outdoor location and the Ethernet cable connects to an indoor network device. The purpose of the lightning protection is to protect people and equipment located indoors from lightning that might strike the MBW 510 or its outdoor cables. Therefore, the lightning protector device should be installed indoors, as close as possible to the point where the cables enter the building.
Information de sécurité pour MBW 510 Exposition aux fréquences RF Le point d’accès extérieur MBW 510 est compatible avec la norme CFR 47 section 1.1307 concernant l’exposition aux appareils émetteurs de fréquences radio RF définis par le Bulletin 65 de l’OET. Les antennes doivent être installées à une distance minimum d’un mètre de personnes humaines.
Installation Installation Process Installing the Femto Cellular-Mesh Wi-Fi Base Station involves the following steps: 1. Performing a Site Survey 2. Assembling and Mounting 3. Mounting the MBW 510 unit 4. Connecting the Antennas 5. Connecting the cables 6. Powering up the unit and configuring the software 7.
Assembling and Mounting The universal mount is used to attach and secure the MBW 510 to a wall, a streetlight arm, or a variety of poles. The MBW 510 mounting consists of the following stages and should be performed in the following order: 1. Connect the MBW 510 unit to the brackets using the ‘L’ adaptor. 2. Secure the mounting brackets to a streetlight arm, wall, or pole. 3. Assemble the MBW 510 unit to the bracket. 4. Ground the MBW 510 unit. 5. Align the MBW 510 unit. 6.

Select the highest mounting location with minimal obstacles to the antennas for optimal performance. NOTE: When mounting the MBW 510 on a pole, it should be placed on a pole that can support four times the weight of the MBW 510, as well as the wind loading created by the MBW 510. 2.
3. For narrow poles (1”–1.75” diameter): a) Place the two brackets, [A] and [B], around the pole at the approximate height where you wish to place the unit. When placing the clamping bracket [B], the small notch side should be in contact with the pole. b) Use two M8x70 hex bolts [D] and spring washers, insert them through both brackets and tighten them around the pole so that the two brackets are securely fastened. 4. For normal poles (1.
6. For wall mounting: a) Fasten the wall/poll bracket [A] to the wall using four 3/16” (5mm) bolts, as shown in Figure 3. Use the appropriate bolts and fasteners, which is dependent on the material of the wall. Wall-mounting bolts and fasteners are not supplied with the mounting kit. b) Place the wall/poll bracket [A] at the appropriate location where you wish to place the unit. Using the four holes at the corners of the bracket, mark the location where the fasteners need to be installed.

Once the MBW 510 unit is mounted, release the bolts slightly and align the MBW 510 unit horizontally using the level, as shown in Figure 5. When the unit is perfectly aligned, firmly close all bolts, applying 120 inch-lbs of torque. Figure 5: Aligning the MBW 510 Mounting the Antenna The MBW 510 includes two antennas. One Wi-Fi antenna is used for user access, which operate on the 2.4 GHz band, marked A2.
To mount the antennas on the MBW 510: 1. Attach the 2.4 GHz band antenna to terminal A2 and screw the antenna into place by hand. Rotate the antenna at its metallic base. The antenna should rotate easily. Tighten the antenna by hand only. Do not apply excessive force by using any tool, as this may damage the unit. 2.4 GHz Antennas Terminal A2 Figure 6: 2.4 GHz Band Antennas Installation 2. Attach the 5 GHz band antenna to terminal B2. Tighten the antenna by hand at its metallic base.
Cable Connections When the MBW 510 is properly aligned, the connecters are located at the bottom of the unit. Cable requirements are often unique to the location and deployment topology of each installation. As a result of this limitation, the Ethernet and grounding cables are not included in the installation kit. The following cables are required to install the MBW 510 unit and should be connected in the following order: • • • Grounding Cable – Provides the necessary electrical safety functions.
Cable Installation Tools The following special tools are required to install and connect cables related to the MBW 510. Description Picture Slotted Screwdriver 1/8” (3mm) wide Terminal Crimp Tool RJ45 Crimp Tool HT-210A Volt Meter Table 5: Cable Installation Tools and Equipment Grounding Cable Connect a grounding wire to the grounding screw at the bottom of the MBW 510 unit. A 10 AWG grounding cable is required to ground the MBW 510 unit.
To ground the MBW 510 unit: 1. Crimp the solderless ring terminal [A] contained in the MBW 510 Connectors Kit to the grounding cable. 2. Attach the solderless ring terminal [A] to the bottom of the MBW 510 unit using the grounding screw. 3. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a proper ground. Note: Connect the 10 AWG grounding cable before connecting any other cables. When removing the MBW 510, the grounding cable should be the last cable removed.
Power Connection The MBW 510 unit can be connected to an AC power source by one of several methods. It can be connected directly to a power source or by using an adapter to connect to the streetlight photocell (photo-control). The MBW 510 unit can support input voltage of 100 to 240 VAC (50 to 60 Hz). Note: Connect the grounding cable before connecting any other cables. When removing the MBW 510, the grounding cable should be the last cable removed.
Computer Connection Figure 10 illustrates the Ethernet cable connections used to connect the MBW 510 to a notebook computer. This connection is typically used for the initial configuration. For more information regarding the configuration, see the GO MBW Configuration Guide. For more information regarding the Ethernet cable, see Appendix B: Wiring Specifications.
Power Up and Software Configuration The MBW 510 unit is normally mounted on a streetlight (pole or wall) where it is inconvenient to configure. Therefore, it is recommended that wireless communication be established to the unit prior to installation, so that the unit can later be configured and monitored from the ground. To verify communications when installing the MBW 510 unit, the MeshGateways must be installed and powered up first.
