Tropos 1410-HAZ router (FCC) Preparing for Installation The Tropos 1410 must be installed by a trained professional, value added reseller, or systems integrator who is familiar with RF planning issues and regulatory limits defined by the governing body of the country in which the unit will be installed. This section explains how to prepare the installation site.
NEC code. The following distance limits apply to installations that have 10/100 Base-T Category 5 network cables attached to the Tropos 1410: 300 feet maximum between devices for 100BaseT operation 500 feet maximum for 10BaseT operation.
Building materials—Radio penetration is influenced by the building material used in construction. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks. Safety Installing the Tropos 1410 can pose a serious hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the following: Exposure to high voltage lines during installation...
Chapter 2 Note To eliminate potential interference from the mounting structure, the Tropos 1410 should be mounted with at least 4 feet of clearance around the antennas. Acceptable options for mounting on a streetlight are shown in Figure 3. In each case the unit is mounted to assure clearance for the antennas above the height of the streetlight.
Chapter 2 Proper Use of Clamps The mounting assembly contains a clamp to secure the Tropos 1410 to the mounting structure. Figure 4 illustrates the proper use of the clamp. The clamp must be routed through a slot in the pole bracket as shown in the figure, and then attached to the pole and tightened.
Chapter 2 Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting Instructions This section explains how to mount the Tropos 1410 on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is best to mount the unit to aluminum or galvanized steel structures. The mounting brackets are designed to pierce any oxidation layers that are on the outside of the pole, thereby assuring good quality connection to the grounded structure.
Chapter 2 Metal Pole Mounting Figure 5 illustrates proper mounting for an outdoor metal pole. Note Antennas must be clear of obstruction. Metal Pole Mounting Figure 5 Tropos 1410 Installation Guide...

Chapter 2 Streetlight Mounting You can mount the Tropos 1410 on the horizontal or angled arm of a streetlight. Figure 10 shows a typical streetlight mounting installation. Streetlight Mounting Figure 10 Mount the Tropos 1410 on a streetlight Select a mounting location. You can attach the unit to any streetlight arm with diameter 1” to 10”.
This is easily accomplished through the Ethernet port (see Chapter 2 for power alternatives). If the Tropos 1410 is going to be used as a bridge or as a node in the network and also provide connectivity to a wired client, first determine the communication ports required and decide on a power strategy.
