1.4.1 Installation Best Practices
Observe the following best practices when installing the TR-WMX-5.8.
 The TR-WMX-5.8 10/100 Ethernet port auto-senses the cable connected to it and adjusts
automatically. The Ethernet connector is protected with a weatherproof housing. Pin
assignments for this connector are shown in Table 1-1.
 Always try to run the Category 5 cable and LMR inside the mounting pole whenever
possible. This helps to insulate the cable form any air surges.
 Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a full loop into the cables.
 The TR-WMX-5.8 antenna’s grounding system must be installed according to Article 810-
15, 810-20, and 810-21 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1993 or
applicable National or Local Wiring Codes / Rules. Test all grounds to ensure that they are
using a proper Ground. If you use an electrical socket for Ground, use a socket tester,
such as Radio Shack 22-1412. We recommend you obtain a copy of the National Electric
Code Guide and follow its guidelines. If you are in doubt or have questions about the
antenna grounding system, contact a local licensed electrician. Alternatively, you can
drive your own rod and bond it to the house Ground; this way, you will know that at
least one rod is correctly grounded in the system.
 Never attach a Grounding wire when the TR-WMX-5.8 is powered. If the Ground is to be
attached to an existing electrical circuit, turn off the circuit before attaching the wire.
 Never install radio equipment, such as the TR-WMX-5.8, during an electrical storm. In
addition, to protect your system against damage from lightning, design the system so it
does not attract lightning (it cannot repel lightning, either). National, state, and local
codes are designed to protect life, limb, and property and must always be obeyed. When
in doubt, consult local and national electrical codes or contact an electrician or
professional trained in the design of grounding systems.
