circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may
cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes.
CAUTION:
•
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Certification does not apply or extend to voltages outside of standard PoE range. PoE range for the MTCDTIP2 is 42.5-57
VDC. Any PoE voltages outside this range have not been evaluated by UL or MULTITECH. The end user supplies the PoE cable. This cable must be
suitable for an outdoor location. This is an 802.3at Type 2 device. For more information, refer to the Conduit IP67
Base Station PoE Application Note (S000678).
•
Ethernet port is not designed to be connected to a public
telecommunication (PSTN) or any other connection other than

CAUTION: Read installation instructions and safety information before starting Base Station installation. Do not connect power until
directed to do so. If you do not install the accessories when you install the Base Station, cover the LoRa connectors to keep them dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to disassemble the Base Station. There are no serviceable parts. Opening the enclosure without
authorization may void the warranty.
Package Contents
Note: Package contents vary by model.
1 - MTCDTIP2 Base Station 1 - LoRa Antenna
Requirements
In addition to the Base Station and included accessories, you will need:
1 - PoE Injector. For requirements, refer to Conduit IP67 Base Station PoE Application Note (S000678).
1 - Cat 5 or greater Ethernet cable rated for outdoor use with a diameter between 5.5 and 7 mm and no cable strain relief/jacket. Select an
Ethernet cable suitable for your installation, such as a cable rated for burial or extreme temperatures. Other considerations include
rodent resistant, a spline to keep the cable from being crushed, and a shielded cable to reduce EMI/ESD.
1 - Micro SIM (3FF) card (LTE models only). MultiTech recommends using a SIM card rated for the climate where the device will be installed.
1 - 14 AWG or larger ground wire with a closed loop terminal. For details, go to Installing a Ground Wire in this document.
1 - Phillips screwdriver.
Related Accessories
PoE injectors, mounting kits, lightning arrestors, and accessories are available through
Note: The LoRa antenna can be directly mounted on the Base Station or up to 5 feet away if necessary for your location.
Lightning and ESD Protection
Lightning strikes are a risk for any outdoor installation. Use industry standard practices for lightning protection. For more information,
refer to the National Fire Protection Agency's "Standard for Installation of Lightning Protection System" (NFPA 780).
Outdoor Ethernet cables subject to air movement generate electrostatic discharge (ESD). Using a shielded and properly grounded
Ethernet cable helps prevent damage to your device.
Recommendations to protect equipment from surge and over-voltage:
•
PoE surge protector suitable for your cable and installation.
•
Shielded and grounded Ethernet cable, if installation is subject to air movement.
•
Proper grounding, refer to the Installing a Ground Wire.
Safety Instructions
For safety and to achieve a good installation, please follow these safety precautions:
•
Consider safety and performance when selecting an installation site. Exercise caution when working near power lines. Remember
electric power lines and phone lines look alike. Assume that any overhead line can cause bodily harm or death. If burying cable,
verify that it is safe to dig before doing so.
•
Call your power company and ask them to look at your proposed installation. This is important if raising a mast or tower.
•
When installing the device:
•
Do not work on a wet or windy day.
•
Dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
•
If any part of the antenna system comes in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local
power company. They will remove it safely. If an accident occurs, call for emergency help immediately.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Warnings and Cautions on the back page for additional information.
