are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly
forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to country
regulations and per antenna type.
Note:
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals
who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by
the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the WinLink™
1000 warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial
liabilities. RADWIN and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation
of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.

Warning
Caution
Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal
(screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective
ground conductor or to a grounded mast. For grounding the O-PoE,
connect the grounding cable from the dedicated earth terminal (screw
at the side of the enclosure) to an external protective ground
conductor or to a grounded mast.
Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should climb
the antenna mast. Only trained professional installers should be used
when installing or dismantling ODUs and masts.
To mount the ODU:
1. Verify that the ODU mounting brackets are properly grounded.
2. Mount the ODU onto the mast or wall. Ensure that the unit is
oriented so that the cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they
are on top, water may penetrate into the unit causing
damage.) Refer to
Mast and Wall Installation for the ODU or O-PoE mounting
instructions.
3. Connect the ground cable to the chassis point on the ODU.
4. Attach the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector. If making
own ODU-IDU cable, refer to
Wiring Specifications for the connector pin-out.
5. Screw in the cable glands to ensure hermetic sealing of the ODU.
6. Secure the cable to the mast or brackets using UV-rated cable ties.
7. Repeat the procedure at the remote site.
2.
Note:
Do not tightly secure the ODU to its mounting brackets until the
alignment process of the antenna is complete.
When installing the ODU, check that there are no direct obstructions in
front of the ODU or interference from man-made obstacles.
For O-PoE UL Listed parts and components must be used for
installation. Use UL listed devices having an environmental rating equal
to or better than the enclosure rating to close all unfilled openings.
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-26
Connecting the ODU to the IDU
The ODU-IDU cable conducts all the user traffic between the IDU and
the ODU. The ODU-IDU cable also provides -48 VDC supply and
Ethernet to the ODU. The maximum length for one leg of the ODU-IDU
cable is 100m (328 ft) in accordance with 10/100BaseT standards.
When using an O-PoE or PoE-8, the maximum length for two legs of
the O-PoE or PoE-8 cable is 100m (328 ft) in accordance with
10/100BaseT standards.
The ODU-IDU cable is supplied pre-assembled with RJ-45 connectors,
at the length specified when ordering. If the ODU-IDU cable was not
ordered, use Cat. 5e 24AWG shielded cable. Wiring specifications are
given in
Wiring Specifications.
To connect the ODU to the IDU
1. Route the cable from the ODU to the IDU.
2. Secure the cable along its path.
3. Connect the ODU-IDU cable to the RJ-45 connector on the IDU.

Note:
Panels may be fitted with different connector combinations than
shown, depending on the model ordered.
IDU-R Installation
Installation of an IDU-R unit differs from other IDU models in one
respect: At the rear of the IDU-R (see Figure 2-6 above) there are two
jacks labeled “Trunks”. For each IDU-R, the E1 cable from outside
should be plugged into one of the trunks, and the E1 cable to the other
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-28
Warning
station should be plugged into the second trunk, as in the left hand
side of Figure 2-7 above.
Apart from the above difference, the link installation including the
remaining part of the IDU installation and connection to the ODU
proceeds as described as above.
Connecting the Ground to the IDU
Connect an 18AWG grounding cable to the grounding terminal of the
device. The device should be permanently connected to the ground.
Connecting Power to an IDU
AC power is supplied to the WinLink™ 1000 IDU through a standard
IEC 60320 connector.
AC power should be supplied via a 1.5m (5 ft) standard power cable
terminated by a IEC 60320 socket. A cable is provided with the unit.
To connect AC power to an IDU:
Connect the power cable socket to the power connector on the
WinLink front panel.
• Connect the power cable plug to the mains outlet.
The unit turns on automatically upon connection to the mains.
To connect DC power to an IDU
A special 3-prong socket for DC power connection is supplied with the
unit.
Connecting Power to an O-PoE
AC power is supplied to the O-PoE via a 3m (10 ft) 3 wire AC cable
attached to the unit (pigtail). The AC cable is provided with no
termination.
To connect AC power to an O-PoE:
Connect the power cable to a protected/shielded AC mains outlet.
The AC mains outlet should be provided with circuit breaker rated 5A
according to the local national electrical code.
The unit will be turned on automatically upon connection to the mains.
To maintain Overvoltage (Installation) Category II, install a suitable
surge suppressor device in the branch circuit to limit expected
transients to Overvoltage Category II values.
The limits are based on IEC60664 and are also located in Table 2H of
UL60950 (for mains ≤ 150V, the transient rating is 1500V;
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-29
Warning
for 150V < mains ≤ 300V, the transient rating is 2500V;
for 300V < mains ≤ 600V, the transient rating is 4000V).
Aligning Antennas with the Beeper
Perform the antenna alignment using the ODU’s audible tone. The tone
is not suitable for aligning the All Indoor Units (AIND). To align an
AIND system, see
AIND Alignment.
To speed up the installation time, alignment of a WinLink™ 1000
system should be performed by two teams simultaneously, at site
A and at site B.
To align the ODUs using the alignment tone:
1. Verify that power is connected to the IDUs at both sites.
Do not stand in front of a live ODU.
Provided that Site A detects the signal from Site B, the ODU starts
beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until
the ODUs are aligned, and the installation is complete.
2. Verify normal operation of the IDU by the LED indications on the
front panel. See IDU Front Panel Indicators.
3. Direct the antenna of site B in the direction of the site A. This is
simplified if a previous site survey has been completed and
azimuths are known.
4. Make an azimuth sweep of 180 degrees with the site A ODU so that
the strongest signal from site B can be detected.
5. Slowly turning the site A ODU back towards the position of Site B,
listen to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following
figure for audible signal variations.
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-30
Figure 3-8: Beeper Sequence for ODU Alignment
Note:
Three beeps and a pause is the best signal
Two beeps and a pause, signal quality increased
One beep and pause is no signal change
Any other signal detects no signal between ODUs.
6. Secure the site A ODU to the mast/wall.
7. At site B, adjust the ODU slowly whilst listening to the beeper
sequence until the best signal is attained.
8. Secure the site B ODU to the mast/wall.
9. Monitor the link quality for about 15 minutes to verify stability.
