EXS 5001A Wireless NODE Installation Instructions

These instructions cover indoor mounting on a wall or ceiling, as well as outdoor mounting
on a wall or a pole.

Parts Needed

The eXS-5001 Wireless NODE™ installation kit consists of the following items:
1. The eXS-5001 NODE
2. Antennas: 1 for Networking (5GHz) & 1 for Access (2.4GHz)
3. AC/DC power converter with PoE jacks
4. Hardware bag with "T" and RJ-45 weather gasket
Items procured locally are:
5. Cat5 cable terminated to the appropriate length, fabricated locally
6. AC power cord purchased locally with a "computer" connector (IEC60320/c13, see photo).

Wall Mount

The eXS NODE can be mounted indoors on the specified wall as follows.
1. Mark 2 holes 154mm apart. The Mounting Template may help mark these holes.
2. Insert the round-head screws, maximum 4 mm diameter shaft, leaving about 10mm space
from the wall to the underside of the screw head.
3. Hang the eXS NODE on these screws. Be sure the NODE is not loose.
4. Be sure both antennas are up & vertical. It there is interference above the NODE,
rotate them downward so they are down & vertical.
5. Run a length of Cat5 LAN cable from this location to where the AC/DC converter will
be plugged in. Maximum length is 100 meters. The RJ-45 plug should be wired per
the diagram.
6. Insert the cable plug into the RJ-45 jack.
7. The cable bushing and cap are generally used only for outdoor installations.
8. Use round-cable staples to hold the cable in place, spacing them about 1 meter
apart or as needed. Allow 20-30mm at bends in the cable, to avoid pinching.
[Sharp bends in Cat5 cable may cause data errors].
9. Allow about 150-200mm slack cable at the power converter.
10. Plug the AC/DC converter into the AC outlet.
11. Verify that there is a wireless connection to the Internet before plugging a PC or LAN into the
wired jack.

Ceiling Mount

1. Install the 2 "T" pieces to the bottom of the NODE, sliding them into the groves until they
snap over the bump.
2. Mark & drill the 4 holes. The holes are 54x214mm apart.
3. Mount the eXS NODE using the 4 screws. There is a little slot in the T's to adjust for holes
that are slightly off center.
4. Rotate the antennas 90 degrees so they are down & vertical
