Site Preparation
Before you install the EW5001, complete the following items:
• Select a site for the EW5001.
• Install a mount for the EW5001.
• Wire the site for power and network access. The EW5001 supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
• Install the antenna.
• Optional: Configure the network and wireless settings for the EW5001 on a workbench.
SITE SELECTION
Wireless performance is affected by site characteristics, unit radio frequency and transmission rate, antenna options, and the “noise floor” at the
site. The noise floor may include thermal noise, objects between transmitter and receiver, and any interfering signals.
Performance is also affected by the number of encoders and the distance between each encoder and the access point. The farther the distance,
the fewer the number of encoders. The shorter the distance, the greater the number of encoders.
Site selection should be performed by a Pelco-certified wireless design consultant, whose site survey will address these wireless performance
issues as part of their site plan. The plan will identify the number and location for each wireless device, based on distances, radio frequency, and
antenna options. Be sure to follow the site plan as specified by the consultant.
MOUNT INSTALLATION
The EW5001 includes two major mounting components. The unit itself attaches to the J-box. The J-box attaches to any mount with a standard
Pelco four-bolt pattern.
Before selecting a mount, plan the wiring paths for power and network cables. The J-box has three openings: one on the top, one on the bottom,
and one in the mount surface. Select a mount that facilitates the wiring paths. Table A lists compatible Pelco mounts:
NOTES:
• Make sure the mount supports at least 25 lbs (11.4 kg) for the EW5001. If installing additional equipment to the mount, make sure the
mount will support the total weight of the EW5001 and the additional equipment.
• Use the ES-MKIT Esprit marine kit for all marine installations.
Install the mount (refer to the mount documentation for more information).
