LocaXion Anchor at a Glance Antenna Lightning arrestors Enclosure cover Enclosure body Conduit hub LED panel Physical Description Antenna The LocaXion Anchor has a rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure for outdoor use. The enclosure and auxiliary components are designed to meet IP64 and NEMA Type 4X ratings for protection against dust and water ingress. The enclosure measures about 8 in. x 5 in. x 3 in. (20 cm x 13 cm x 7 cm).
Operator Manual Install the LocaXion Anchor Network Planning and Preparation Complete RF network planning before installing LocaXion Anchor. Complete the following tasks before installing the LocaXion Anchors in the wireless network. 1. Network site planning: Complete site planning to understand how a wireless network can be built and supported for your application. 2. RF site assessment: Perform an RF site assessment when designing a large wireless network.
Mount to a Pole Ground the LocaXion Anchor Cover ground connection J1 terminal block When mounting the LocaXion Anchor on a pole, you can assemble and install the mounting hardware at the site.
Operator Manual Connect Power Power On and Startup The LocaXion Anchor accepts one power cable. A professional installer must construct conduit and cable runs for power. The LocaXion Anchor is powered directly by an external 24V ± 10% DC power source such as distributed DC. Ensure that all wires inside the enclosure are routed and secured properly as shown in the diagram below. The LocaXion Anchor has status LEDs to indicate the various stages of operation.
Connect to Network and Configure Establish Connection Between LocaXion Anchor and Web Server In order to change the LocaXion Anchor’s configuration from any default configuration settings applied at the factory, power must be applied. After applying power confirm that the red ‘POWER’ LED is illuminated. Within approximately 7 - 10 seconds, possibly longer if the LocaXion Anchor has been left unpowered at temperatures below -20 degrees C, the green ‘STATUS’ LED shall illuminate.
Operator Manual Maintenance and Troubleshooting Recommended Maintenance 1. Antenna connections should be visually inspected for corrosion, contamination or water ingress on an annual basis. 2.
