MiHub 1.5 XR Installation & Operation Manual 2 IC Information Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. This device complies with Industry Canada licence‐exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. IMPORTANT NOTES: To comply with Industry Canada RF exposure compliance requirements: 1) The antenna used for this 915 MHz transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 23 cm from all persons during normal operation.

MiHub 1.5 XR Installation & Operation Manual 6 MiHub 1.5 XR Installation & Operation: The MiHub 1.5 XR main unit is a 7.3” x 10.4” x 3.7” NEMA 4 plastic box which contains weighs approximately 2.5 lbs. It dissipates between 4 watts (standby) & 15 watts (worst case scenario). Typically, the MiHub 1.5 XR is fastened to a tower support or wall of a collocated structure and then power is attached & applied. A MiHub 1.5 XR unit has both GPRS (side mounted) & 915 MHz (remotely mounted) antennas. The GPRS antenna is mounted to the side of the MiHub 1.5 XR main unit as shown in figure 1. The 915 MHz antenna connection is located on the bottom side of the main enclosure. An antenna cable is run from this connector to the RF power amplifier which is typically located at the top of the tower. The power amplifier is then connected to a band‐pass filter and the filter is connected to the antenna. The 915 MHz antenna package including the power amplifier, filter and antenna may be located up to 200 feet from the main enclosure. Figure 1: MiHub 1.5 XR with 915 MHz & GPRS. ...

MiHub 1.5 XR Installation & Operation Manual The bottom of the MiHub 1.5 XR has a power cord attached in the middle. To the left of that is an air vent. To the right of the power cord is the 915 MHz antenna connection (N‐type female) and a green LED to indicate that the unit is powered up. On the right side is the GPRS antenna. A pre‐drilled mounting plate is attached to both the top & bottom of the main unit. There are no other (operator/installer) accessible controls or displays. Any use of the MiHub 1.5 XR product in other than the intended manner specified by the manufacturer may impair the protection provided by the equipment. Installation is achieved as follows: 6.1 Installation Instructions: WARNING! Because the installation is typically connecting the power cord to live power lines, only personnel trained & licensed properly for the local jurisdiction should perform this installation. A. Pick a safe location where the power cord can reach the input power source. Install the MiHub 1.5 XR main enclosure by utilizing the screws & the pre‐drilled mounting plates located at the top & bottom of the enclosure box. Keep the box vertical/plumb as much as possible. B. Connect the color coded wires to the power source. This operation should be performed by a properly licensed professional. The black wire is the power input (nominally 110VAC) & the white wire is return. C. After connecting input power, verify that the green LED on the bottom of the enclosure is lit. D. This completes the physical installation. From this time forward, additional steps to control the MiHub 1.5 XR are all done remotely via the GPRS RF link. 7 Maintenance: There are no user serviceable items within a MiHub 1.5 XR. No cleaning is required. ...
