HotPort 5020-M node installation

Installing a node and antenna assembly
The process to install a node to a mast or tower is the same as a roof installation.
Note:
Collect and take all tools and materials with you to the installation site.
Warning!
Do not install this product on a windy or rainy day.
To install a node and antenna assembly in a permanent outdoor location:
1.
Safely lift and carefully put the assembly on the roof.
2.
Make sure that the ground wire is correctly terminated in a lug.
Caution.
If you cannot correctly connect the mesh node to earth
ground. Do not continue the installation.
3.
Attach the pole to which the node and antenna are attached to a mast,
tower, or roof.
-
Attach the cables that have integrated lightning arrestors, or attach
the cables and install lightning arrestors.
-
Make drip loops with cables.
-
Install all grounding equipment. Loosen the ground screw, tighten the
ground screw to secure the ground wire to the node., and then tighten
the screw.
4.
Make all connectors weatherproof. See the
Firetide Best Practices Guide
.
Caution.
Do not use the 12 VDC power supply from a HotPort 7020 mesh
node to power a HotPort 5020 node. The HotPort 5020 needs power from
a PoE+ (802.3at compliant) or 15 VDC power supply.
Caution.
Do not use port 2 or port 3 of a HotPort 7020 mesh node to
power a HotPort 5020 node. A HotPort 5020 node needs PoE+ or
802.3at, and the ports of a HotPort 7020 mesh node are PoE 802.3af
compliant only.
5.
(Optional) Attach the Power over Ethernet (PoE) assembly to power the
device. See the next figure.
Caution.
Do not connect to more than one power source at one time.
