Figure 2-2: Mounting and Grounding the LX40

Grounding the LX40

Sierra Wireless strongly recommends that you always ground the chassis using the grounding point shown in Figure 2-3.

For DC installations (with a fixed “system” ground reference), Sierra Wireless recommends grounding the LX40 chassis to this system ground reference.

To ensure a good grounding reference, connect one end of a short 18 AWG or larger gauge wire with a ring terminal connector to the ground terminal on the LX40 and connect the other end to your main grounding point.

The ground terminal comes with an M2.5 × 6 mm screw. You can use a longer M2.5 screw if the terminal connector on your ground wire requires one.

Note: Do not overtighten the grounding screw. Tighten to a maximum torque of 0.4 kg/cm.

For regulatory requirements concerning antennas, see Maximum Antenna Gain on page 48.

Note: The antenna should not exceed the maximum gain specified in RF Exposure on page 48. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/ or multiple connections), you must follow the maximum dBi gain guidelines specified by the radio communications regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada, or your country’s regulatory body.

Note: Take extra care when attaching the antennas to the SMA connectors. Finger tight (approximately 0.6 –

0.8 Nm 5–7 in-lb.) is sufficient and the max torque should not go beyond

1.1 Nm (10 in-lb.).

To install the antennas:

1. Connect the cellular antenna to the SMA cellular antenna connector.

Mount the cellular antenna so there is at least 20 cm between the antenna and the user or bystander.

2. Connect a second antenna to the SMA diversity antenna connector.

For 3G networks, the second antenna operates as a diversity antenna, providing a second receive path.

For 4G networks, the second antenna operates as a MIMO antenna, providing a second receive path and a second transmit path.

3. For Wi-Fi-capable routers, connect the Wi-Fi antenna to the SMA Wi-Fi connector.

Note: If the antennas are located away from the router, keep the cables as short as possible to prevent the loss of antenna gain. Route the cables so that they are protected from damage and will not be snagged or pulled on. There should be no binding or sharp corners in the cable routing. Excess cabling should be bundled and tied off. Make sure the cables are secured so their weight will not loosen the connectors from the router over time.

Recommended Antenna Separation

The recommended antenna separation is related to the band frequency/

wavelength. To accommodate the shortest frequency/longest wavelength band supported by the LX40, Sierra Wireless recommends a minimum antenna separation of 214 mm for best results, and if necessary, a separation of 107 mm for acceptable results.

Step 4—Connect the Data Cables

The LX40 has the following ports for connecting data cables:

• USB (Micro-AB)

• Ethernet (RJ-45)— Use a Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable

Step 5—Connect the Power

The AirLink LX40 comes with a 3 meter (10 ft.) DC power cable. You can also purchase an optional AC adapter.

The LX40 can also use Power over Ethernet. An Ethernet cable connected to a compatible connection to the LX40 power connector (see Figure 2-8 on page 19) is required.

Warning: Electrical installations are potentially dangerous and should be performed by

personnel thoroughly trained in safe electrical wiring procedures.

1. The LX40 is a 802.3af Powered Device

Page 18

AirLink LX40 Series Hardware User Guide

The LX40 supports an operating voltage of 7 V–36 V, but because low voltage standby mode is enabled by default, you must supply more than 9 V at startup.

In cases where both PoE and DC power are connected, PoE will power the LX40 when DC voltage is below 20 V.

If you want to operate the router at a lower voltage, you can change the low voltage standby settings once the router is up and running. For more information, refer to the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide (Services chapter).

Cable Strain Relief

Sierra Wireless recommends using cable strain relief for installations in highvibration environments.

Place the cable strain relief within 200 mm (8 in.) of the LX40 to reduce the mass of cable supported by the power connector under vibration. Ideally, the strain relief mounting for the DC cable should be attached to the same object as the LX40, so both the router and cable vibrate together. The strain relief should be mounted such that it does not apply additional stress on the power connector. The cable should not be taut and should not pull the power connector at an angle.

Fusing

For DC installations, Sierra Wireless recommends fusing the power input using a 4 A, fast blow fuse on the V rating over the operating temperature range.

Wiring Diagrams

If you do not use the AC power adapter to power the LX40, you can wire the supplied DC cable to your power supply. You have various options for wiring power to the LX40, depending on your application.

Note: If using PoE as a power source, connections to the 4-pin power connector are not required.

Basic Installation with DC Power

For installations using DC power, connect the wires as shown in the figure below. You can configure Low voltage disconnect to force the router into Standby mode when the voltage is low. Voltage is monitored on Pin 1 (red wire).

Figure 2-9: Fixed Installation without I/O

• Pin 1 (Power) —Use the red wire in the DC cable to connect Pin 1 to the

power source. Include a 4 A, fast blow fuse, recommended to have no more than ±10% de-rating over the operating temperature range, in the input power line. Sierra Wireless recommends using a continuous (unswitched) DC power source.

• Pin 2 (Ground)— Use the black wire in the DC cable to connect Pin 2 to

ground. See also Step 2— Mount and Ground the LX40 Chassis on page 11.

• Pin 3 (On/Off control)— Connected to power

Basic Installation with I/O Input Triggered by Standby Mode

If you want to use the I/O to monitor an external device such as a motion detector, remote solar panel, or a remote camera, refer to Figure 2-10. You can configure the I/O line to wake the router up for a configured length of time, and use low voltage disconnect to put the router in Standby mode if the voltage falls below a configured value.

Step 6—I/O Configuration

You can use Pin 4 on the LX40 power connector for I/ O configuration.

Figure 2-11: I/O Pin-out for the LX40 Power Connector

You can use the I/O pin as:

· Pulse counter (See Table 2-3 on page 23 and Figure 2-12 on page 23.)

· Digital input (See Table 2-3 on page 23 and Figure 2-13 on page 24.)

· High side pull-up/dry contact switch input (See Table 2-5 on page 25 and Figure 2-14 on page 25.)

· Analog input (See Table 2-6 on page 26 and Figure 2-15 on page 26.)

· Low side current sink (See Table 2-7 on page 27 and Figure 2-17 on page 27.)

· Digital outputs/ open drain (See Table 2-8 on page 28 and Figure 2-18 on page 28.)

Rev 1 November 2018 22 41112510

For more information, refer to the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide.

Note: You can configure the GPIO Pin 4 in ACEmanager or ALMS to trigger standby mode, to sink current, or to pull up the voltage. If you are using the I / O line to trigger standby mode, you cannot configure it to sink current or pull up the voltage. Likewise, if you are using the I/O line to either sink current or pull up the voltage, you cannot use it to trigger standby mode.

Note: During bootup, the I/O settings remain in their default state: the internal pull-up resistor is disabled, and output current sink switch is open. After bootup, any custom I/O settings are applied. This may take approximately 30 seconds after the gateway is restarted or powered on.

Analog Input

You can connect Pin 4 on the power connector to an analog sensor. As an analog input (voltage sensing pin), the router monitors voltage changes in small increments. This allows you to monitor equipment that reports status as an analog voltage.

The pin detects inputs of 0.5– 5 V or 0.5 – 10 V referenced to ground. When used with a sensor to transform values into voltages, the pin can monitor measurements such as temperatures, sensors, or input voltage.

Using ACEmanager, you can select the range of voltage to be monitored to be 0–5 V or 0– 10 V. For low input voltages, 0–5 V provides better accuracy.

Data sampling is handled by a dedicated microprocessor. In order to filter noisy signals, twenty measurements are taken over a 250 ms interval. The measurements are averaged to generate a sample. If the change since the last sample is significant, a notification is sent to the CPU for updating the current value displayed in the user interface and for use by Events Reporting.

Changes are considered significant if the change is 200 mV or more (when the range of monitored voltage is 0–5 V) or 350 mV or more (when the range of monitored voltage is 0– 10 V). If there has not been a significant change to the parameter being monitored, the CPU reads a sample every 2.5 minutes, which detects small changes.

Note: The router protection circuitry has a high-impedance (~200 kΩ) path to ground. If Pin 4 is connected to 12 V, there will be a small current flow (~100 μA) into Pin 4 during bootup. This flow is countered when the internal pull-up resistor (10 kΩ) becomes active after bootup. Depending on your application, you may need to install an external pull-up resistor (10 kΩ) in order to nullify the small input current flow for the first 30 seconds during bootup.

Step 7—Check the Router Operation

1. When power is supplied to the AirLink LX40 router, it powers up automatically, as indicated by the flashing LEDs. If it does not turn on, ensure that the:

· Power connector is plugged in and supplying voltage greater than 9 VDC.

Note: Although the LX40 operates in the range 7–36 VDC, low voltage standby mode is enabled by default. In order to avoid the router powering on in standby mode, ensure that it is supplied with more than 9 VDC at startup. (You can change the low voltage standby mode settings once the router is operational. If the Power LED is red, the router is in standby mode.)

· On/Off control (pin 3) is connected to the battery or power source (see
