Purpose The OBR5000B Installation and Operation Guide describes OBR5000B and provides instructions for installing and configuring the system.
Page 6: Fcc Compliance
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. CAUTION Any changes or modification to this product not expressly approved by Vecima Networks Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. CAUTION...
Page 7 Maximum Antenna Gain The OBR5000B is a low-powered license-exempt radiocommunication device. Therefore, the maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated below: •...

CHAPTER 2.0 Installation CAUTION Install the OBR5000B in accordance with all local codes for installing outdoor communication equipment. 2.1 Unpacking the Unit Carefully remove the equipment form the packing material and set it on a solid surface, such as a table or desk. If it appears damaged in any way, notify the carrier and keep all packing materials for inspection by the carrier’s agent.

Page 17 After preparing the OBR5000B for pole mounting, hold the OBR5000B against the pole at the desired height then place the Pole Catch Bracket onto the opposite side as shown in Figure 2-4. Fasten a lock washer and nut onto all four carriage bolts and tighten until the OBR5000B is suitably secured in place.
Page 18 Once the OBR5000B is mounted to the pole, the elevation angle may be adjusted as necessary and the unit may be connected to the network via a CAT5E cable with a standard RJ45 connector on one end and a special Molex® backshell with RJ45 connector on the other end.
Page 19: Attaching The External Antenna
2.3 Attaching the External Antenna The OBR5000B is equipped with two type N connectors (female) at the bottom of the housing where a user can attach one or two optional external antennas. Only one antenna can be active at a time and the user sets the active antenna through the web-based interface (see 3.5 Configuring the Radio, on page 7).
Page 20: Water Proof The Connection
2.3.1 Water Proof the Connection Wrapping the antenna connection with sealing tape keeps the connection tight and protects against moisture. To water proof the connection follow these steps: Step 1 Use a section of rubber sealing tape. Starting at the OBR5000B end, stretch the tape and wrap it around the connector as close as possible to the body of the OBR5000B.
Page 21: Installing The Grounding Apparatus
2.4 Installing the Grounding Apparatus Install the grounding apparatus to protect the OBR5000B from lightning strikes and power surges. Ground the base station to the earth ground to protect from lightning strikes. Use the surge suppressor to shunt to ground any over-voltage [>60 V] transients that may be induced on the CAT5E cablefeed via lightning or other high voltages.
Page 22 2.4.1 Bitzschutz In der OBR5000B ist ein Blitzschutz integriert, um das Gerät vor Beschädigung durch Blitzschläge zu schützen. Montieren der OBR5000B-Basisstationserdung Bringen Sie die Erdungsvorrichtung am Erdungsanschluss an der Basisstation an. Mitgelieferte Teile: • 1 x 5/8 Zoll Beilagscheibe • 1 x 1/4 Zoll Erdungsanschluss Erforderliche Teile: •...
Page 23 Figure 2-12 Grounding the OBR5000B CAUTION Vecima Networks requires that the CAT5E cable to the OBR5000B is connected to a lightning surge protector at the entrance to the building, prior to connection to the WES800 Ethernet Switch as shown Figure 2-14.
Page 24 Figure 2-13 Abbildung 2.9: Erdung der OBR5000B CAUTION Vorsicht: Eine Anforderung von Vecima Networks besteht darin, dass CAT5E Kabel, die WES800 mit Geräten, die sich im Freien befinden, verbinden an einen Überspannungsschutz angeschlossen werden. Der Anschluss muss am Gebäudeeingang und vor Anschluss an den Transceiver.
