Installation & Setup
Installation Considerations
Wire and Cable Recommendations:
The EL1500CW is designed for use with RG59U 75 Ohm
copper based 18AWG (American Wire Gauge) coaxial cable. The quality of which must be
consistent with any reasonaibly serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in
cuts, breaks, or cracks to the outter covering and insulated shieldings which may compromise
the signal conductivity of the cable.

please call Tech Support

.
Ethernet & PoE:
The EL1500CW is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of
Ethernet TCP/IP data and PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance
of 1,640ft./500m. Before considering this solution be sure that the cable(s) involved do not
exceed the recommended maximum lengths. If the cable value is undeterminent at the time of
installation, we recommend the use of a 3rd party time domian reflectometer (TDR) which
through the use of short rise time pulses can measure impedence characteristics, splices, and
unknown cable distance estimates.
NEMA4 Enclosure Case:
The NEMA4 enclosure is included in order to provided the system
(the ET1500CW transmitter) with a robust degree of weather and atmospheric condition
protection in accordance with the appropriately rated NEMA level. The weatherproof enclosure
allows for flexibility in installation and can be mounted to a variety of surfaces (mounting
hardware dependant & not included), either flat or pole apparatuses. Two (2) water-proof
gromets are located at the bottom of the unit in order to secure cable terminations and case
entry points.
