!Warning! For your safety please read the following warning notices and instructions.

Safety, Approvals and Regulatory Domain Information

Safety Instruction

For your protection, please read and observe all safety instructions before operating this system and keep this sheet and any additional instructions for future reference. Installation and Use

OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully followed. Do not make any modifications to the WESII unit, Power Injection Module (PIM), or any other KBC Networks electronic device, as the unit(s) will no longer comply with legal regulations and therefore void its warranty.

WATER AND MOISTURE: The WESII unit is weatherproof provided it is installed in accordance to the mounting details listed in section 2.4.3. However, further protection or housing is suggested for harsh environments, as moisture damage voids its warranty. The PIMs used in this system are NOT weatherproof. None of the modules in this system are waterproof and should never be submerged. Severe electrical shock, personal injury or damage to the equipment may result.

POWER SOURCE: Connect the equipment to a power source only of the type described on the operating instructions or as marked on the equipment. Excessive or insufficient current or voltage can cause extended trouble-shooting or even damage that could negate its warranty. The power supply cable should not be modified/extended due to the ability to use up to 100m of power over Ethernet cable. In addition, Ethernet cable running from the PIM to the WEM should be kept separated from high-voltage cables and/or transformers.

ATTACHMENTS: Use only KBC Networks’ supplied or recommended Power Injection Modules, Power Supplies, Cat5 Cables and weather seals and plugs.

WHEN NOT IN USE: Unplug the power if the equipment is left unattended or unused for long periods of time or during lightning storms.

REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, use only replacement parts specified by KBC Networks. Unauthorized substitutions may result in damage to the system and could void the warranty.

WESII User Manual

1. Overview

1.1 Introduction

This manual covers all the functions of the products that form KBC Networks’ WESII Series. The WESII Wireless Ethernet System is a wireless transmission system that provides a cable less transmission path for an Ethernet channel. They are designed for use in a wide range of operating temperatures in non-environmentally conditioned, outdoor applications. The primary function of the system is to replace Ethernet cables where it is not practical or cost-effective or where it is beyond distance limitations. WESII has been specifically designed to transmit constant streaming video but can also be used to send and receive standard Ethernet data packets or to operate as a WiFi Access Point. The units can be configured as a long range point-to-point wireless bridge or as a point-to-multipoint receiving antenna communicating to numerous transmitting Client/Station devices. This manual covers all operations and functions of the point-topoint and point-to-multipoint systems.

1.1.1.

The KBC WESII Series is a wireless transmission system that operates in the license free

2.4GHz & 5GHz bands and also in the 4.9GHz Public Safety band (only available in the US). The units are available as PoE or non-PoE with a range of antennas to suit applications. The units will support throughput of up to 99Mbps due to MIMO technology.

6.2 Power Connections

WESII units are available as either PoE or non-PoE units.

6.2.1 Power Injector Module for the non-PoE WESII

Non-PoE WESII units are supplied with a mid-span Power Injector Module (PIM) and a standard 24Vdc, 500mA Power Supply Unit.

Note: The Power Injector Modules are not weatherproof units and must be protected

from moisture.

Power – Power supply input OUT – Connect to the WESII unit IN – Connect to the Ethernet device

For extreme temperature conditions there is also a KBC Networks Industrial DIN Rail power supply available, part number MDR-20-24. These units provide 24W at 24Vdc. These units need to be purchased separately, for further details please contact KBC Networks.

Note: K

6.2.2 Power for the PoE WESII

The PoE WESII units are IEEE 802.3af Powered Devices (PD) ie. they are powered from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as an Ethernet switch which provides power on the Ethernet cable. There are a number of different Ethernet switches options with PoE available from KBC Networks, these can be purchased separately. Please contact KBC Networks for further information.

8. Cable Assembly

8.1 Strain Relief Assembly

1. Thread the Cat 5 cable through the hole in the gland.

2. Pull the cable through and crimp on the RJ45 connector – see section 8.2

3. Connect the RJ45 connector into the WESII’s LAN port.

4. Tighten the clamping nut until the Ethernet cable is secured in the connector until it

is hand tight.

Note: the RJ45 connector does move slightly within the LAN port on the WESII unit this

allows the RJ45 connector to be connected to the Ethernet port more easily.

8.2 Configuring the Cable.

Note: The total length of cable from the WESII to the Ethernet device cannot exceed

100m (325 feet); however, for a non-PoE WESII unit the PIM can be located anywhere along the overall 100m of cable. KBC Networks recommends shielded Ethernet cables for the cable connecting the PIM to the WESII unit. Any cable exposed to the elements should also be outdoor rated.

1. Determine the length of cable that will be required and where the PIM will be

located.

2. Slide the weatherproof connector over the cable jacket before crimping the

connector. See Section 8.1 for the assembly instructions. If needed, see below for color-code standards to configure the correct type of Ethernet cable.

Note: E

to one of the Ethernet standards (568-A or 568-B) in order for the WESII system to operate efficiently. Any deviation from one of the two standard configurations can lead to undesired activity.
