Installing CAP Ls Ceiling Mount a CAP L Only a CAP L with a Fan Kit can be ceiling mounted. Do not ceiling mount a CAP L that does not have a Fan Kit attached to it. 1 Follow the steps in "Unpack and Inspect the CAP L and Optional Accessories” on page 96. 2 Refer to and observe all cautions listed in "Mounting Cautions” on page 95. 3 Refer to "Determine the CAP L Mounting Site” on page 90 to determine the mounting location, which must be able to support the weight and dimensions of the CAP L.
Installing CAP Ls (Optional) Ground the CAP L Follow the steps below to ground the OPA only if grounding is required in your locality or if the installation plans require the CAP L be grounded. The different CAP L installation procedures will tell you when to ground the CAP L. NOTE: The CAP L is equipped with a green grounding screw located on the back of the unit; however, grounding is not necessary. CAP Ls are classified as low-voltage devices and do not have internal power supplies.
Installing CAP Ls Connect the CAP L Cables The type of cables used and how the CAP L connects into the system is dependent on the CAP L type. Follow the cabling instructions that apply to the unit type that you are installing.
Installing CAP Ls 1 Connect the CAP L ANT 1 and/or ANT 2 connector to a passive RF antenna. a Obtain 50Ω coaxial cables that are of sufficient length to reach from the CAP L to the passive antenna. The end of the 50Ω coaxial cable that will connect to the ANT connector can be either a push-pull connector or a threaded connector. b Install the passive antennas according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Installing CAP Ls 4 If appropriate for this installation, connect the Optical Port 2 connector. a Raise the lever on the EMI/IP67 cap on Optical Port 2 connector and remove the cap. b Remove the caps from the connectors on the SM or MM fiber. c Follow the local cleaning technique to clean Optical Port 2. d Clean the connectors on the SMF or MMF following the fiber supplier’s recommendations.
Installing CAP Ls Cable a CAP L with a Copper Interface and Power over Category 6A Cable Figure 7-14 identifies the connectors on a CAP L with a Copper Interface that is powered over Category 6A cable; corresponding cables and connectors are shown. Auxiliary port ANT 1 ANT 2 Op cal Port 2 Vdc Power connector Op cal Port 1 Figure 7-14. Connectors on a CAP L with a Copper Interface Powered over Category 6A Cable 1 Connect the CAP L ANT 1 and/or ANT 2 connector to a passive RF antenna.
Installing CAP Ls 3 Connect the Optical Port 1 connector as appropriate for this installation. a Obtain Single Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi Mode Fiber (MMF) that is of sufficient length to reach from the CAP L to the ION-E CAN/TEN. [when would you use SM vs. MM?] b Remove the dust cap from the Optical Port 1 connector and the connectors on the SM or MM fiber. c Follow the local cleaning technique to clean Optical Port 1.
Installing CAP Ls Cable a CAP L with a Copper Interface and Power over Ethernet Figure 7-15 identifies the connectors on a CAP L with an Optical Fiber Interface; corresponding cables and connectors are shown. Auxiliary port ANT 1 ANT 2 Vdc Power connector Op cal Port 2 Op cal Port 1 Figure 7-15. Connectors on a CAP L with a Copper Interface 1 Connect the CAP L ANT 1 and/or ANT 2 connector to a passive RF antenna.
Installing CAP Ls NOTE: 3 The Power connector and the Optical Port 2 connector are plugged as they are not used in this configuration. Use CAT6A cable to connect the Optical Port 1 connector to the PoE. UNRESOLVED: Not really sure what “to the PoE” means. UNRESOLVED: To what does the other end of the CAT6A cable connect? 4 Connect the Auxiliary connector as appropriate for this installation.
Cascading CAP Ls C ASCADING CAP L S A second CAP L can be cascaded from a primary CAP L (the CAP L connected directly to the CAN/TEN). Limitations for cascaded CAP Ls are listed below. • There can be only two CAP Ls in a cascade. • The cascaded unit must use the same transport type (Copper or Optical). • The cascaded CAP L must get its power through the DC connector (either from a local supply or hybrid fiber); power over the CAT cable to the cascaded unit is not supported.
CAP L Maintenance CAP L M AINTENANCE The following sections tell you how to remove a CAP L from mounting brackets, and provides preventative maintenance. Remove a CAP L from a Ceiling Mount Should you need to remove the CAP L from the ceiling mount, do the following: 1 While holding the CAP L with both hands, press both release slides inward towards the CAP L. Release slide Release slide View when looking up at UAP in a ceiling mount 2 Press the red power switch button on the CAP L to shut it down.
CAP L Maintenance Remove a CAP L from a Wall Mount Should you need to remove the CAP L from the wall mount, do the following: 1 While securely supporting the CAP L, press both releases inward towards the CAP L. Wall Bracket Release tab 2 Press the red power switch button on the CAP L to shut it down. The red button must be pressed BEFORE disconnecting the Cat6A cables. The blue LED will turn off when the unit shuts down. The CAP L may also be shutdown via software prior to disconnecting the cables.
CAP L Maintenance Preventative CAP L Maintenance The CAP L does not require preventative maintenance measures. However, checking the cleanliness of the unit and its components—particularly the heat sink/fans—at regularly-scheduled intervals is recommended. Avoid applying too much pressure when using a vacuum or other method, as this can damage the fan bearings and shorten the lifespan of the fans.
