Installation Considerations
Wire and Cable Recommendations: The EL1500CW is designed to use with ANSI/TIA/EIA defined
CAT5e or CAT6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. This UTP cable shall be able to accommodate
TCP/IP data operating speeds of 10/100 Mbps transmission rates. The RJ45 termination pin out
schemes shall be in accordance with the 568B standard. The quality of which must be consistent with
any reasonably serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in cuts, breaks, or cracks to
the outer covering and insulated shielding which may compromise the signal conductivity of the cable.
For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques please
call Tech Support at 1-(800)528 - 4343.
Ethernet & PoE: The EL1500UW is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of Ethernet data
and PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance of 2000ft./600m. Before con-
sidering this solution be sure that the cable involved do not exceed the recommended maximum
lengths. If the cable value is indeterminate at the time of installation, we recommend the use of a Time
Domain Reflectometer (TDR) which through the use of short rise time pulses can measure impedance
characteristics, splices, and unknown cable distance estimates.
NEMA4 Enclosure Case: The NEMA4 enclosure is included in order to provided the system (the
ET1500UW transmitter) with a robust degree of weather and atmospheric condition protection in ac-
cordance with the appropriately rated NEMA level. The weatherproof enclosure allows for flexibility in
installation and can be mounted to a variety of surfaces (mounting hardware dependant & not included),
either flat or pole apparatuses. Two (2) water-proof grommets are located at the bottom of the unit in
order to secure cable terminations and case entry points.
