1 Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1500R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1500R outdoor mesh routers provide dual-spectrum (2.4GHz/5GHz) high-bandwidth operation for outdoor mesh networking applications. They employ a 100mW radio covering distances up to 2600 ft/800 m while operating in the 5GHz spectrum and distances up to 5000ft/1600m while operating in the 2.4GHz spectrum. By operating in a less crowded frequency spectrum and a NEMA certified enclosure, these rugged mesh routers enable mesh networks to operate in outdoor environments and to provide greater bandwidth for both rural and metro applications. Operating in the 5GHz band, the HotPoint 1500R units are ideal for operation in environments that are congested with 2.4GHz wireless traffic. Alternatively, the HotPoint 1500R can also operate in the 2.4GHz spectrum where the 5GHz is not permitted for use in the outdoor environment. The HotPoint 1500R also provides two weatherproof Ethernet ports for provisioning Ethernet instantly without the need for a wired backhaul. Eliminating the wired backhaul enables the installation of outdoor networking equipment such as weatherized access points, computers, and surveillance cameras virtually anywhere at a fraction of the time and cost associated with installing wired outdoor solutions. A remote power module, with a 50 foot/15 meter cable, supplies power from an external transformer or optional third party power sources such as solar cells and batteries. The HotPoint 1500R mesh router can supply power over Ethernet to auxiliary network devices such as surveillance cameras and outdoor access points. Additionally, the HotPoint 1500R mesh router can receive its power from auxiliary network devices that provide power over Ethernet, up to a maximum of 48VDC.

Installations in winter months around trees will not pose a problem but once the leaves appear then you will have obstruction. • Buildings may cause obstruction depending on the material used in construction. • Direct line of site installations is best. • Install the units away from devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. Such as cordless phones, microwaves, home cameras, Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio band, amateur radios, etc. • Avoid areas with heavy vehicle and foot traffic. Do not install near rain gutters and downspouts or areas subject to flooding. • Survey the site for grounding options. It is crucial to have earth ground, see grounding section in this manual.
Hardware Installation Guide 4 Required Tools and Supplies Firetide provides accessories listed in the Unpacking section enable a proper installation. The following tools and supplies must be provided by customer: • # 2 Philips Screwdriver • ½” Crescent wrench • Wire cutters to cut tie wraps around cables • Ladders, lifts and or platforms to install the 1500R on poles and structures. • 10 AWG Grounding cable to reach from 1500R to earth ground. • Grounding connectors The following tools and supplies are optional: • Cordless Screwdriver # 2 Philips • Cordless Drill • Antenna Stand (used to mount the antenna pole) Staging Considerations If the Antennas, Access Points, devices and Hotpoint 1500R are staged properly the installation will be smooth. This section will describe some staging scenarios which will ease overall installation of Hotpoint 1500R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router. • Pre-assemble antenna, HotPoint 1500R and devices to metal pole and antenna stand and then connect relocate the entire stand to a roof top. Often many times it is easier to install all devices to one device such as a pole and then connect the pole to the roof. Often many times connecting the devices to the pole after it is on the roof top can be difficult and dangerous. • Install the antenna first and then install the HotPoint 1500R enclosure, this will ensure you have adequate height on the antenna. • Install the antenna and wireless devices higher than the 1500R. Having the 1500R at a location lower than the antenna will provide easy access to the 1500R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router. You must use care when having the 1500R away from the antenna; you do not want to exceed a distance of 60 feet from the 1500R to the antenna. • Utilize weatherproofing kits that include non-vulcanized rubber to weatherproof connectors and antenna. • Have earth ground completed prior to installing the 1500R Wireless Mesh Router.
HotPoint 1500R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router 3 Mounting the Antenna The antenna consists of an antenna shaft with an attached lightning protector and coaxial cable. The antenna can be mounted directly to the Hotpoint 1500R or directly to a pole. The pole structure can be either metal or wood.  Note: FCC regulations require Firetide to provide the antenna, lightning protector and cable connected together. Disconnecting these items from each other is not supported by Firetide. If longer distances of the coax cable are required, the connector requires a 50 ohm RP-TNC (Reverse-Polarity- TNC) cable. Mounting Guidelines For best results, the mounting location should enable maximum performance of the antenna.  Note: Do not mount the antenna within 3 ft or 91.44 cm of another antenna. Interference may occur. OEM Integrators, end users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. When mounting next to an Access Point having the access point lower on the pole can achieve the spacing required and utilizing a horizontal bar can also achieve the 3 feet spacing required. For best results, position the HotPoint 1500R antenna above obstructions.
Hardware Installation Guide 6 Wall Mounting 1. Position the Antenna above or to the side of the HotPoint 1500R enclosure to permit easy attachment of the coaxial antenna to the connector at the top of the enclosure. 2. RF signals can be attenuated by a wall or the composition of a building. When utilizing an omni antenna connecting the antenna to a wall may limit the amount of coverage. Pole Mounting 1. Position the antenna on the pole above the HotPoint 1500R enclosure. 2. Clamp the antenna securely to the pole using the two “U” bolts provided. 3. Connect the end of the coaxial cable from the antenna connector at the bottom of the HotPoint 1500R enclosure.  Note: If longer distances of the coax cable are required, the connector is requires a 50 ohm RP-TNC (Reverse-Polarity- TNC) cable. You cannot have more than 8dB of insertion loss. Insertion Loss is defined as the loss of signal strength when a cable is inserted between the transmitter and the receiver. Insertion loss is measured in dB. For a detailed drawing on how the antenna connects to the pole refer to the diagram on the next page.

Hardware Installation Guide 10 Connecting to Earth Ground CONNECT TO EARTH GROUND The HotPoint 1500R must be properly connected to earth ground. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage, injury or death. The product warranty does not cover damages resulting in part or in whole from improper grounding. The components which will attract lightning strikes are the antenna, the antenna pole and the Ethernet cable which provides power to the 1500R. The HotPoint 1500R outdoor mesh router has an external, threaded grounding post at the base of the enclosure. After mounting the unit securely, secure the ground wire lug to the theaded post using the two nuts supplied with the post. Connect the other end of the ground wire to an existing earth ground point or a grounding rod. Connecting the ground cable to rain gutters can be done only if the rain gutter or other conductive material is connected to earth ground. In order to have proper earth ground the understanding the soil is very important. If your soil is rocky or sandy, drive your ground rods and then pull them back out and dump an approved ground enhancement material into the holes where the ground rods go. Then replace the ground rods. Keep in mind some salt compounds are corrosive and can cause copper to erode. Ground rods should be copper and between 6 – 8 feet long. Install all grounding components in straight lines and if bends are necessary do not make sharp turns. Earth to ground resistance should not be more than 10 ohms. Having proper earth ground is critical and for more information on earth ground refer to the National Electric Code (NEC). Firetide provides a 6 foot ground cable that connects the 1500R to the antenna pole. Taking the ground from the antenna pole to earth ground is a requirement of the installer. The following diagram displays the grounding connector and earth grounding.
