Chapter 2 Installation Guide

This section is to explain the cautions the users must know in some case that possible injure may bring to users when it’s used or installed. For this reason, please read all details here and make in mind before installing or using the product.

2.1 General Precautions

✓ Must be operated and maintained free of dust or dirty. ✓ The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the products

when the power is on.

✓ After use, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.

2.2 Power precautions

✓ When you connect the power source, make sure if it may cause overload.

✓ Avoid operating on a wet floor in the open. Make sure the extension cable is in

good condition

✓ Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

2.4 Environment Requirement

Item

Requirement

Machine Hall Space

When user installs machine frame array in one machine hall, the distance between 2 rows of machine frames should be 1.2~1.5m and the distance against wall should be no less than 0.8m.

Machine Hall Floor

Electric Isolation, Dust Free Volume resistivity of ground anti-static material:

1X107~1X1010，Grounding current limiting resistance: 1M (Floor bearing should be greater than 450Kg/㎡)

Environment Temperature

5~40℃(sustainable )，0~45℃(short time)， installing air-conditioning is recommended

Relative Humidity

Wall

It can be covered with wallpaper, or brightness less paint.

Fire Protection

Fire alarm system and extinguisher

Power

Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are independent to each other. Device power requires AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before running.

2.5 Grounding Requirement

✓ All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of

devices. Also, they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection. Therefore, the system must follow this rule.

✓ Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high

frequency impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.

✓ Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and

be antirust.

✓ It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit ✓ The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should

be no less than 25 mm2.

Chapter 3 WEB NMS Operation

3.1 Encoder login

The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136. Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with net cable, and use ping command to confirm they are on the same network segment. I.G. the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to

192.168.99.xxx (xxx can be 1 to 254 except 252 to avoid IP conflict). Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder & Modulator’s IP address in the browser’s address bar and press Enter. It will display the Login interface as Figure-1. Input the Username and Password (Both the default Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “LOGIN” to start the device setting.

➢ Making sure good ventilation for the heat-sink on the rear panel and other

heat-sink bores if necessary

➢ Checking the input AC within the power supply working range and the

connection is correct before switching on device

➢ Checking the RF output level varies within tolerant range if it is necessary ➢ Checking all signal cables have been properly connected ➢ Frequently switching on/off device is prohibited; the interval between every

switching on/off must greater than 10 seconds.

Conditions need to unplug power cord

➢ Power cord or socket damaged. ➢ Any liquid flowed into device. ➢ Any stuff causes circuit short ➢ Device in damp environment ➢ Device was suffered from physical damage ➢ Longtime idle. ➢ After switching on and restoring to factory setting, device still cannot work

properly.

➢ Maintenance needed
