2) Connect up the coaxial outputs of the unit. The coaxial ports are designed for connection with 75 ohm solid copper
coaxial cable, commonly RG-59 or RG-6. The coaxial port is a 100Mb network port. It is important that the coaxial
connectors be in good condition. The speed of the connection and POE status is indicated on the front panel of the
unit. A transmitter must be connected to the other end of the coaxial cable for the connection speed to be indicated
and for the POE to turn ON.
Head-end Installation
ER8500C and ER16500C
1)
The ER8500C / ER16500C can be rack mounted, wall mounted or used as desk top unit. Use the included mounting
ears in the front or back of the unit depending on your needs. The mounting ears can also be turned to the bottom of
the unit for wall mounting if needed. When mounting the unit, be sure to follow these guide lines.
a. Operating Ambient - Do not install the unit in an assembly where the ambient temperature could exceed 52°C
(125°F). NOTE: the ambient temperature in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly could greatly exceed the ambi-
ent temperature outside that assembly.
b. Air-Flow – Leave space on the sides of the unit for airflow into the cooling fans and some space on top of the
unit for air to exit the unit. Adequate air flow is required for safe operation.
c. Mechanical Loading – The mounting ears were designed for two ears to support one unit. Other configurations,
such as mounting other equipment directly on top of the unit or using only one mounting ear, could cause a haz-
ardous condition due to uneven or excessive mechanical loading.
d. Circuit Loading - Do not connect the unit to an electrical supply if the wiring or over current protection of the sup-
ply could be overloaded when the ratings listed on the unit are considered.
e.
Grounding (Earthing) - Reliable earth grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained, use only 3
conductor equipment power cords. If the unit is plugged into a power strip or extension cord, that strip or cord
should have a ground (third) pin on its plug.
