-INSTALLATION
-Mechanical Installation
Each model of the CS-445B family of BESPA units is mounted slightly differently. BESPA
units weigh up to 15 lbs (7 kg), it is important to ensure that the structure, to which the
BESPA is to be attached, is of sufficient strength. The BESPA may be ceiling mounted, wall
mounted or attached to a suitable stand. A safety cable rated at three (3) times the hanging
weight of the BESPA and associated hardware must be secured to a separate fixture and
attached to the BESPA mounting bracket.
When mounting the BESPA as a stand-alone unit, make sure that it is mounted with the POE
RJ45 facing down as indicated by information in the Technical Manual. If the BESPA is one
of several and is part of an ITCS network, then orient each BESPA according to the ITCS
system installation drawings. If in doubt contact a member of our technical support team.
CS-445B
The CS-445B BESPA is only mounted in a landscape orientation because the array is
symmetrical, there is no benefit to mounting the array in a portrait fashion. When mounting
the BESPA refer to Figure 1. Consult the Technical Manual, for further information. Contact
a member of our technical support team for more information.
SAFETY WARNING
The CS-445B weighs approximately 15 lbs (7kg). These units should only be installed using
suitable safety and lifting equipment. Ensure that the wall fixings or mounting hardware is
suitably rated.
AVERTISSEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ

-Electrical Installation
POE Power Input
Power over Ethernet, PoE, power input is available for the CS-445B using the RJ-45
connector as shown in Figure 1. Connect POE power supply and plug it in to a suitable
mains outlet and the POE Bias T. POE power, DC Input equivalent to IEEE 802.3at type 2
Class 3. When using a multiport Ethernet switch the power budget for each antenna
Powered Device should be +13W with 15.4W max supplied by the PSE switch. Do not plug
in more than the calculated number of POE antennas to a multiport switch if the total Switch
Ethernet power will be exceeded. Note that the power for the POE should be located within
300feet of the BESPA and should be accessible to enable easy disconnection of the power
to the BESPA in case of emergency or when servicing.
