SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE For the 50 W SDB680 Base Stations, the operating temperature range is: −30 °C to +60 °C (−22 °F to +140 °F) ambient temperature. The storage temperature range is −40 °C to +80 °C (−40 °F to +176 °F). Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the air at the intake to the cooling fans.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 If multiple bases are fitted in a rack, auxiliary extractor fans may be required to ensure that adequate cooling is provided. If any other configuration is employed, the performance of the system will depend on how closely you comply with the airflow requirements described above. In a wall mount installation, it is recommended that at least 20 cm of clear space is allowed above and below the equipment for ventilation.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 POWER SUPPLIES For type approval reasons, this product should not be operated with unapproved supplies. The equipment must be installed so that the IEC connector for the Wall or Rack Mount can be easily removed and/or the power socket should be readily accessible. Mains protective Earth should be checked for low impedance (<0.3 Ω). All mains wiring must comply with local wiring regulations.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS This section gives an overview of the external connections that are made to the SDB680 Base Station. It also provides details of the pin-outs for these connections. GENERAL All cabling should be installed so that the equipment can be accessed for servicing purposes without straining the cables or connectors used.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 Mating connectors should be galvanically compatible with nickel outer and gold centre pin to minimise passive intermodulation. A minimum of 85 dB transmit-receive isolation should be provided by the antenna system and associated filters. It is recommended that a good quality flexible co-axial cable is used, e.g. with double-screening braid and multi-strand copper inner.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 P4 USB B The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type B connector is used as the peripheral connection. The connector pin-outs are detailed below in Table 4. Table 4. USB Type B Connector Pin-outs. Pin Function 1 2 3 4 Vcc (+5 V) Data Data + Ground P5 Ethernet The P5 Ethernet connector uses standard network cable wiring for an RJ45, which is detailed below in Table 5. Table 5. Ethernet RJ45 Connector Pin-outs.
SDB680 – INSTALLATION GUIDE TNM-I-E-0046 S1 Facilities Connector The 25-way D Type facilities connector can be programmed for any combination of digital inputs and outputs. The connector pin-outs for the Facilities Connector are shown below in Table 7. Table 7. Facilities Connector Pin-outs.
