interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this
equipment under Federal Communications Commission’s rules.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved
equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS

The EW5301T is designed to operate at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz with up to 50 W equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) maximum transmit
power. This level of radio frequency (RF) energy is above the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels specified in FCC OET65:97-01. Take the
following precautions during installation:

• The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8 in. (20 cm) from all persons. It must
not be located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

• Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the area within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the front of the antenna.

• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not stand in front of the antenna assembly.

• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not handle or touch the front of the antenna.

Video Quality Caution

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.

Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Description

The EW5301T wireless video encoder is a high-performance, dual-stream, single-input video encoding unit. Its main function is to convert live
analog video into dual MPEG-4 video streams. It transmits these streams to an Endura™ EW5001 or EW5002 wireless access point, which
transmits the streams over an Ethernet network to other Endura system components. Then these streams can be recorded on an Endura NVR5100
Series network video recorder or DVR5300 Series digital video recorder, or decoded by the following Endura components:

• NET5301R video decoder: Converts up to 4 video streams for display or recording on an analog device.

• Endura Workstation: Converts up to 16 video streams for display on a computer monitor.

• VCD5000 video console display: Converts up to 64 video streams (depending on model) for display or recording on an analog device.

The EW5301T incorporates EnduraView™ video optimization technology to select the best image quality and frame rate for the target Endura
product (decoder, workstation, console), all without affecting the system recording rate. For example, the unit selects a high rate and quality
setting for recording and alarm conditions; it selects a lower rate for simple monitoring.

The EW5301T automatically detects the video standard (PAL or NTSC) and accepts both color and black-white analog video.

The EW5301T can be configured for three alarm inputs and one relay output. When an alarm event is triggered, the unit can send a message to
an operator, trigger a relay, and implement video recording.

The unit also supports activity detection. You can configure up to three activity zones, each with its own independent sensitivity and threshold
settings. When the EW5301T detects activity in any of these areas, it can trigger an alarm event.

The video encoder supports one audio input over the network. The system operator (security personnel) can see and hear activity in the target
area.

All Endura products support Pelco P/Pelco D and Coaxitron
pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras.

protocols. As a result, the EW5301T supports control of remote peripherals such as

You can associate a cluster of EW5301T video encoders with an EW5001 that is configured as an access point. If you configure an EW5002 with two
access points, you can associate one cluster with one access point and another cluster with the second access point. Refer to Application Scenario on
page 9 and Site Selection on page 11 for more information.

Before You Begin

Endura is a network system that requires a continuous amount of bandwidth to transmit true, live video. Therefore, always include your network
administrator when planning and installing Endura components.

You will also need the following:

• Pelco-approved Endura certification

• Power source

• One analog video device (fixed or PTZ camera)

• Microphone (if using audio)

• Access to an Endura network
– that is an active, gigabit Ethernet network that supports the full Internet Protocol suite,
– that is configured with at least one NVR5100 Series network video recorder or other Endura video recorder,
– that is configured with at least one Endura Workstation, and
– that is configured with at least one wireless access point (EW5001 or EW5002).

•7/16-inch wrench

• Digital voltmeter (DVM) with BNC adapter

• Any tools required for installing the specific mount (refer to the mount documentation)

NOTE: These network requirements represent the minimum standard for a small Endura-capable security network. Please consult the Endura
Network Design Guide (C1640M) to make sure your network is properly configured. Your system may be different and may require additional
hardware, software, and network resources.

APPLICATION SCENARIO

Figure 2 shows clusters of EW5301T video encoders in a sample application scenario. The EW5001 is configured as an access point for one
cluster. The EW5002 is configured as two access points; each access point serves one cluster. In most installations, the EW5002 would use
different radio frequencies for each cluster. Refer to Site Selection on page 11 for more information.

PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER LABEL PLACEMENT

Product serial number labels help Pelco’s Product Support identify your system and its factory configuration in case the EW5301T or its
components require service.

A label citing your product’s serial number is attached to the rear panel of the EW5301T. Because the label will be covered by the J-box
(supplied), two additional labels are provided. These additional labels also list the MAC (Media Access Control) or network adapter address for
the unit. Attach one of them to your product documentation or other location. The second label is a spare.

To use these labels:

1. On the rear panel of your EW5301T, locate two small labels, attached with a yellow sticker that reads, “Extra serial number labels: remove
prior to installation.”

2. Remove the yellow sticker and the labels.

3. Peel away the backing from one label and attach it to this installation manual, other product documentation, or other location.

Site Preparation

Before you install the EW5301T, complete the following:

• Select a site for the EW5301T.

• Install a mount for the EW5301T.

• Wire the site for power.

• Install the camera system.

• Wire the multifunction cable for any audio, alarms, relays, and serial PTZ control lines.

• Install the antenna.

• Optional: Configure the network and wireless settings for the EW5301T on a workbench.

SITE SELECTION

Site selection should be performed by a Pelco-certified wireless design consultant, who will address the following issues as part of their site
plan. Then follow the design as specified by the consultant.

The EW5301T uses radio waves to communicate with an EW5001 or EW5002 unit in access point mode. Select a location with clear line-of-sight
from the EW5301T to the EW5001 or EW5002. Buildings, trees, and other obstacles will affect communication.

Maximum distance from the EW5301T to an EW5001 or an EW5002 access point is affected by site characteristics, unit transmission rate, and
antenna options. It is also affected by the “noise floor.” The noise floor is the sum of all noise sources and unwanted signals in the area between
transmitter and receiver. It may include thermal noise, objects between transmitter and receiver, and any interfering signals.

MOUNT INSTALLATION

The EW5301T 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, video, serial PTZ control, alarm, relay, and audio. 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:
