About this guide This guide is supplied with PTP 650 ODUs. It describes how to install the site equipment for PTP 650 Series links. Users of this guide must follow good practice for outdoor radio installations. In more advanced configurations, there may be one or two additional Ethernet interfaces connected to the ODU: one to the SFP port (copper or optical) and one to the AUX port.
PTP 650 Series User Guide. Powering down before servicing Before servicing PTP 650 equipment, always switch off the power supply and unplug it from the PSU. Do not disconnect the RJ45 drop cable connectors from the ODU while the PSU is connected to the power supply.

ODUs and external antennas are not designed to survive direct lightning strike. For this reason they must be installed in Zone B as defined in PTP 650 Series User Guide. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk.
Typical deployment A PTP 650 site typically consists of a high supporting structure such as a mast, tower or building for the outdoor equipment (ODU and optional external antenna); and an equipment building or moisture-proof enclosure for the indoor equipment (PSU), as shown here in a typical mast or...
–5° or +5° to –10°. A larger adjustment range is available using the standard integrated mounting bracket. The connectorized mounting bracket does not provide elevation adjustment. Note The connectorized mounting bracket is included with the PTP 650 connectorized ODU. Order a bracket separately for PTP 650 or PTP 650S integrated ODUs. Page 7...
In dense networks consider rotating an integrated ODU through 45° to reduce antenna side-lobe responses in the horizontal plane. Further details are in the PTP 650 Series User Guide. Page 8...
Mounting bracket (integrated) Fix the mounting plate to the back of the ODU using the four bolts, and spring and plain washers provided. Tighten the bolts to a torque setting of 5.0 Nm (3.7 lb ft). Attach the bracket body to the mounting plate using the M8 bolt, and spring and plain washers.
Mounting bracket (connectorized) Identify the square cavities in the casting on the back of the ODU. These cavities will be used to accommodate the heads of two M8 bracket bolts. Fix the mounting plate to the ODU using the four M6 bolts, and spring and plain washers provided.
Extended integrated mounting bracket Fix the mounting plate to the back of the ODU using the four M6 bolts, and spring and plain washers provided. Tighten the bolts to a torque setting of 5.0 Nm (3.7 lb ft). The step is common with the standard integrated bracket.
Mounting bracket (integrated) with large diameter extension kit Fix the mounting plate to the back of the ODU using the bolts and washers provided. Tighten the four bolts to a torque setting of 5.0 Nm (3.7 lb ft). Attach the bracket body to the mounting plate using the M8 bolt and spring and plain washer.
Low profile bracket on small diameter pole Fix the low profile bracket to the back of the ODU using the M6 bolts and washers provided. Tighten the four bolts to a torque setting of 5.0 Nm (3.7 lb ft). Pass the M8 coach bolts through the square holes in the hinged portion of the bracket. Close the bracket.
Low profile bracket on large pole Fix the low profile bracket to the back of the ODU using the M6 bolts and washers provided. Tighten the four bolts to a torque setting of 5.0 Nm (3.7 lb ft). This step is common with the low profile bracket on a smaller diameter pole.
Mount the top LPU 1 For separate LPU mounting, use the U-bolt bracket from the LPU kit to mount the top LPU on the pole below the ODU. Tighten to a torque setting of 7.0 Nm (5.2 lb ft): Interconnect and ground the ODU and top LPU Page 15...
2 Connect the ODU V and H interfaces to the antenna(s) with RF cable of type CNT-400 (Cambium part numbers 30010194001 and 30010195001) and N type connectors (Cambium part number 09010091001). Tighten the N type connectors to a torque setting of 1.7 Nm (1.3 lb ft).

7 Ground the antenna cables to the supporting structure within 0.3 meters (1 foot) of the ODU and antennas using the Cambium grounding kit (part number 01010419001): 8 Fix the antenna cables to the supporting structure using site approved methods.
Caution Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel. Alternative types of Cat5e cable are not supported by Cambium Networks. Cambium Networks supply this cable (Cambium part numbers WB3175 and WB3176), RJ45 connectors (Cambium part number WB3177) and a crimp tool (Cambium part number WB3211).

Connect the drop cable to the ODU (PSU port) and LPU (a) Plug the RJ45 connector into the socket in the unit, ensuring that it snaps home. (b) Fit the gland body to the RJ45 port and tighten it to a torque of 5.5 Nm (4.3 lb ft): (a) Fit the gland nut and tighten until the rubber seal closes on the cable.
Disconnect the drop cable from the LPU or ODU Use this procedure if it is necessary to remove an EMC strain relief cable gland and RJ45 connector from the ODU (as illustrated) or LPU. 1 (a) Remove the gland nut. Wiggle the drop cable to release the tension of the gland body.

Cut to length and fit hoisting grips Cut the main drop cable to length from the top LPU to the bottom LPU. Slide one or more hoisting grips onto the top end of the drop cable. Secure the hoisting grip to the cable using a special tool, as recommended by the manufacturer.

Attach the main drop cable to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Ground the main drop cable At all required grounding points, connect the screen of the main drop cable to the metal of the supporting structure using the cable grounding kit (Cambium part number 01010419001).

Install the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable Install the bottom LPU Install the bottom LPU, ground it, and connect it to the main drop cable. 1 Select a mounting point for the bottom LPU within 600 mm (24 in) of the building entry point.
Install the LPU to PSU drop cable Use this procedure to terminate the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable with RJ45 connectors at both ends, and with a cable gland at the LPU end. Warning The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury. ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant).

Measure the Enter To pass test, Circle Additional tests and resistance measured resistance “Pass” or notes between… resistance must be… “Fail” Pins 1 and 2 Ohms <20 Ohms Pass (60 Ohms) (*1) Fail Resistances must be Pins 3 and 6 Ohms <20 Ohms Pass...
PSU in a position where it may exceed its temperature rating. Caution Do not plug any device other than a PTP 650 ODU into the ODU port of the PSU. Other devices may be damaged due to the non-standard techniques employed to inject DC power into the Ethernet connection between the PSU and the ODU.
Installing the AC+DC enhanced power injector Follow this procedure to install the AC+DC enhanced power injector (Cambium part number C000065L002): 1 Mount the AC+DC power injector by screwing it to a vertical or horizontal surface using the four screw holes (circled): 2 Form a drip loop on the PSU end of the LPU to PSU drop cable.
