-INSTALLATION
-Mechanical Installation
Each model of the ITCS-A-405 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 the 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.
ITCS-A-405
The ITCS-A-405 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 4. Consult the Technical Manual, for further information. Contact a
member of our technical support team for more information.
SAFETY WARNING
The ITCS-A-405 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
ITCS-A-405 pèse environ 7kg. Ces unités ne doivent être installés à l'aide des
équipements de sécurité et de levage approprié. Veiller à ce que les fixations murales ou

-Electrical Installation
POE Power Input
POE+ power input is available for the ITCS-A-405 using the RJ-45 connector as shown in Figure 4.
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. When using a multiport Ethernet switch the
power budget for each antenna should be +25W. 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+ bias T should be located in close proximity to the BESPA and should
be accessible to enable easy disconnection of the power to the BESPA in case of emergency or
when servicing.
