Welcome
To improve both reliability and efficiency, national and regional power
distribution grids must become smarter. They must also be able to manage
themselves using intelligent distributed control and be able to communicate with
any device, over any network or protocol, to optimize grid operations and
anticipate problems before they occur.
The Echelon
hardware products enable power distribution grids to become smarter. The ECN
7000 Series distributes the intelligence that public and private electrical power
utilities need to monitor and control devices at the edge of the grid. The edge of
the grid is the critical point where the distribution network connects to customers
and where energy supply and demand are becoming increasingly unpredictable
and complex.
The ECN 7000 Series is powered by the Echelon Control System (ECoS) software
platform, which is part of the Echelon Networked Energy Services (NES) system.
ECoS software provides an open, secure, and modular software framework that
allows you to host hundreds of new applications that are needed for a smarter
grid. This powerful hardware and software combination brings intelligent
distributed control to the edge of the grid for maximum reliability, survivability,
and responsiveness.
This manual describes how a utility worker installs an ECN 7650 device on a
utility power pole or a transformer pad.

Introduction
This chapter introduces the Edge Control Node 7000 Series
of products.
Edge Control Node 7000 Series Installation Guide 1
Introduction to the Edge Control Node
Residential and commercial energy customers are increasingly focused energy
efficiency and reliability, while also reducing the environmental impact of
electricity use. National and regional power distribution grids in the 21
must address these customer concerns, while at the same time monitoring
electricity as it flows through many types of devices and transmission media
(substation elements, high, medium, and low voltage power lines, capacitor
banks, transformers, meters, communicating thermostats, load-control devices,
and so on).
A modern smart power grid network must be able to manage itself using
intelligent distributed control and be able to communicate with any device, over
any network or protocol, to optimize grid operations and anticipate problems
before they occur.
The Echelon Edge Control Node (ECN) 7000 Series of open and extensible
hardware products enable power distribution grids to become smarter. The ECN
7000 Series distributes the intelligence that public and private electrical power
utilities need to monitor and control devices at the edge of the grid. The edge of
the grid is the critical point where the distribution network connects to customers
and where energy supply and demand are becoming increasingly unpredictable
and complex.
The ECN 7000 Series of products use the Echelon Control System (ECoS)
software platform, which provides the open, secure and modular software
framework needed to host hundreds of new applications needed for a smarter
grid. This powerful combination of hardware and software brings intelligent
distributed control to the edge of the grid for maximum reliability, survivability
and responsiveness.
st
century
The ECN 7650 is the first member of the ECN 7000 Series of products. The ECN
7650 supports a variety of local, wide-area, and device radio frequency (RF)
networks, with up to nine antennas, all contained within the ECN 7650 enclosure
to reduce vandalism and security risks.
The cover of the ECN 7650 is secured with one-way screws, which virtually
eliminates unauthorized access. When the ECN 7650 is pad mounted, you secure
the power and network connections inside a metal housing with a padlock. The
ECN 7650 is also rugged and sturdy enough to allow a person (for example, a
utility working gaffing a utility pole) to stand on it.
The ECN 7650 is designed for quick and secure installation using a rapid-mount
bracket on either a utility pole or a pad-mounted distribution transformer.
Because the ECN 7650 is small enough (H: 305 mm, 12 in – W: 356 mm, 14 in –
D: 178 mm, 7 in) and light enough (<5.4 kg, <12 lb) to hand carry, installation is
simple and easy.
The rest of this manual describes how to install the ECN 7650, either to a utility
pole or to a pad-mounted distribution transformer.

Pole Mount Installation
This chapter describes how to install the ECN on a utility pole.
Edge Control Node 7000 Series Installation Guide 3
Introduction
You can install an ECN on any standard utility pole, in either the supply space or
the common area. The ECN provides a carrying loop that you can tie with a rope
so that you can easily carry the ECN while climbing the pole. The ECN is also
small and light enough that you can carry it while working from a boom lift.
After installation, the ECN can withstand a 1330 J/m (300 ft-lb) force, for
example, from a utility worker standing on the unit. The ECN is designed to be
small enough that a utility worker can gaff up the pole and around the unit with
minimal difficulty.
The installation includes a bracket that you attach to the utility pole. You then
attach the ECN to the installed bracket. Subsequent replacement or installation
of an ECN can reuse the installed bracket, thus substantially reducing
replacement installation time and effort. In addition, you can connect or
disconnect the ECN from either power or the communications network easily,
without having to uninstall the entire unit.
Required Tools
To perform the installation for the ECN and the Pole Mounting Bracket, you will
need the following tools:
• A drill, with drill bit appropriate for a 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) diameter bolt that
is 12 to 70 cm (4.5 to 27.5 inches) in length
• A 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) wrench
• A wire stripping tool
• A fiberglass or plastic cable puller tool
• A standard Phillips
In addition to the tools listed above, you need an ECN Pole Mount Kit, which
includes the following components:
• Pole Mounting Bracket
• Support bolt: 12 to 70 cm (4.5 to 27.5 inches) in length (depends on the
pole class and the planned installation height for the ECN), 1.6 cm (5/8
inch) in diameter
• Two 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) washers
• One 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) square-head nut
• Input power cable accessory:
o The input power cable accessory is available in three lengths: 3
m, 9 m, and 12 m (10 ft, 30 ft, and 40 ft).
o The cable type conforms to the specifications for 2.05 mm (12
AWG) stranded copper conductors. Two conductors are covered
with black UV jacket insulation (600 V rating), and one with
white UV jacket insulation (600 V rating).

o The end of the cable that connects to the ECN input power
connector is fitted. The other end of the cable is not fitted.
4 Pole Mount Installation
Installation Location
Typically, you install the ECN on a utility pole either in the supply space (near
the service distribution transformer) or in the common area (3-½ to 4-½ meters or
12 to 15 feet above ground level).
Important: Do not install the ECN in the communication space; that space is
reserved for cable, telephone, and other companies to install their equipment.
For optimal antenna performance, you should place the ECN as high on the
utility pole as possible, in the supply space. However, many installations will
install the ECN common area: installation in the common area is typically easier
to perform, less expensive, and involves less risk for the installer.
Preparing for Installation
After you have selected the installation location on the utility pole (within the
supply space or in the common area), determine the distance from the lowvoltage (LV) attachment point (typically at or near the service distribution
transformer) and the proposed installation point for the ECN. If the ECN input
power cable is shorter than this distance, splice an additional length of cable and
weather seal that splice.
When the ECN is installed in the common area, the input power cable must be
shielded in a protective conduit to protect the input power cable from
communications workers and other personnel who climb the pole. When the
ECN is installed in the supply space, this protective conduit is not necessary.
You can use a simple vertical wire guard, but generally you should use Schedule
40 conduit.
flow freely through the conduit. The bottom end of the conduit should terminate
near the ECN, but should not be attached to it. Feed the input power cable
through the conduit and connect it to an available power source.
Drill a hole through the utility pole. The diameter of this hole should be able to
fit a 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) diameter bolt securely. The hole should be centered
horizontally with respect to the pole diameter, and should be centered vertically
with respect to the planned location of the ECN.

Performing the Installation
To install the ECN using the pole mount method, perform the following tasks:
1. Attach the Pole Mounting Bracket to the pole
2. Attach the ECN to the Pole Mounting Bracket
3. Secure the ECN to the Pole Mounting Bracket
4. Connect the ECN to power and to the network
5. Complete the installation
Each of these tasks is described in the following sections.

Secure ECN to Pole Mounting Bracket
To secure the ECN to the Pole Mounting Bracket, insert two screws to the bottom
of the ECN to attach it to the Pole Mounting Bracket. These screws are already
connected to the ECN, and are designed not to make contact with the pole.
Figure 3 on page 8 shows a front view of the ECN attached to the Pole Mounting
Bracket, with the bottom screws visible.

Connect the ECN to Power and the Network
You make the connections to power and to the communications network at the
bottom of the ECN.
You can connect the ECN to either low voltage or medium voltage.
The exact configuration of the ECN bottom panel depends on the options that you
have installed in the ECN, but at a minimum, the bottom panel has a connection
for power and for at least one communications network. In the figure, the bottom
left connection is for power.

Complete the Installation
After the installation is complete, perform the following tasks:
1. Inspect the connection of the ECN to the Pole Mounting Bracket.
2. Inspect the connection of the Pole Mounting Bracket to the utility pole.
3. Inspect the cabling connections to the ECN.
The completed installation should look similar to the views depicted in

Verifying Successful Installation
Because the ECN has no external lights or displays, it uses an internal audio
buzzer to provide indications of important installation-related states. The
buzzer’s audio frequency is 2.4 kHz (as a 1/2 duty cycle square wave) and outputs

As the table shows, a successful installation should include two 1 second sound
bursts and at least one repeated pattern (1 s on, 0.5 s off) to indicate a successful
network connection. If you receive the repeated pattern (4 s on, 0.5 s off) that
indicates unsuccessful network connection, check the network cable connection
and verify that the network is operational.
After installation is verified successful, use the ECoS Web page interface for the
ECN to verify additional functionality. You might also want to disable the
internal audio indicator so that subsequent resets or power events do not cause
the audio indicator to output its audio indicator patterns.
