This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
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 EW5001 is designed to operate at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz with up to 631 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 7.8 ft (2.4 m) 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 7.8 ft (2.4 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 EW5001 is a high-performance, single-radio wireless unit that can be configured as either an access point or a bridge.
Access point: The EW5001 provides a wireless link between a cluster of EW5301T wireless video encoders and an Endura
point-to-multipoint configuration. It serves as a proprietary wireless network router (refer to Figure 2 on page 8).
The EW5001 receives MPEG-4 video streams from EW5301T wireless video encoders. The EW5001 routes these streams over the Endura
network to other Endura system components.
Bridge: The EW5001 provides a wireless point-to-point link with another wireless bridge (EW5001 or EW5002); refer to Figure 3 on page 9.
Bridge with IP-type video device: An Endura-enabled IP-type camera or camera system connects to the EW5001 through the network port
for video input; the EW5001 provides a wireless point-to-point link with another wireless bridge (EW5001 or EW5002); refer to Figure 4 on
page 10.

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 items:
•Pelco-approved Endura certification
•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 Endura system manager,
–that is configured with at least one Endura workstation, and
–that will be configured with at least one EW5301T wireless video encoder or one EW5001 or EW5002 wireless bridge.
•Wireless site plan, designed by a Pelco-certified wireless design consultant
NOTES:
•Endura components are designed to deliver high-quality, high-frame rate video across a network. For best results, make sure your
installation meets the power, environmental, and networking guidelines described in the Endura Installation Guidelines and Best Practices
document (C2670M).
•When using one or more network switches on the Endura network, enable autonegotiation on all switches.
•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.
In addition to the standard tools and cables required for a video security installation, you will need to provide the following items:
QtyDescription
1Power source; refer to Power and Network Wiring on page 13 for more information
1Cat5e (or better) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable and connectors for connecting the EW5001 to the Endura network:
• Weatherproof
• Silicon filled
• Long enough to reach the EW5001 from the network switch, up to 328 ft (100 m)
1 or 2 7/16-inch wrench
1Digital voltmeter (DVM) with BNC adapter
1Antenna
1Antenna cable
You will also need any tools required for installing the specific mount (refer to the mount documentation).
