SPEEDLAN 8500 Series Installation and Operation User Guide
2-4 Quick Start
Step 4. Run the Cabling
The installation kit comes with two lengths of cable with ready made connectors that fit your
particular installation.
a) Attach the shorter cable from the ODU to the antenna, making sure the connectors are
screwed on tightly.
b) Attach the lightning arrestor to the end of the shorter cable.
c) Attach the longer cable to the lightning arrestor.
d) Drill the hole needed to get through the wall, being very careful not to drill into power con-
duits or other utilities in the wall.
e) Feed the cable through the wall and run it to the SPEEDLAN IDU.
f) Fasten all cabling securely to the pole and walls using clamps and zip ties. Do not run cable
over electrical devices such as fluorescent lights because these devices will interfere with the
operation of the IDU. Be careful when pulling or fastening the cable that unnecessary pres-
sure does not break your connectors.
g) Seal all outdoor connections with the black electrical tape and black sealant insulation putty
that comes in the installation kit. First, wrap the connectors tightly with the tape. Then, care-
fully wrap the connectors evenly with the insulation putty, making certain to leave no cracks
that would allow water to penetrate the seal.
Step 5. Ground the Antenna
a) Mount the lightning arrestor to a solid surface.
b) Run the grounding wire from the lightning arrestor to a proper ground source, such as a
grounding rod or roof ground wire.
c) Perform a bench test to make sure the equipment is working properly.
d) Seal the entire lightning arrestor with the black waterproof sealant insulation putty that
comes in the installation kit. Note: The lightning arrestor is NOT
NOTNOT
NOT waterproof.
Step 6. Connect the Wireless IDU to the Power Supply
a) Make sure the switch on the power supply is set to the proper voltage (110V or 230V AC).
b) Connect the power cord’s IEC 320 female outlet to the IEC 320 male power inlet on the
back panel of the SPEEDLAN IDU.
c) Connect the power cord to an external power outlet (110V or 230V AC).
