Assembling APC ECHO 5 with Offset Dish
Step 1. Install ECHO 5 by tightening Plastic Holder (item X) with two Screws
M4x20mm and two Nuts M4 (items Iand J). Connect Ethernet cable
into the ECHO 5 and tighten it with Cable Gland (item E):
It is recommended to use STP, Cat5e, 24AWG, solid copper
conductor (NOT copper wrap aluminum) Ethernet cable.

Quick Installation Guide Installation
deliberant Page 14
To ensure a successful ground, it is
recommended to solder the metal drain
wire to the shielded RJ45 connector, as
this provides a more reliable grounding.
Step 2. Attach the Plastic Insert Caps (item L)at the ends of the Metal Arm
(item S):
Step 3. Attach the Plastic Holder together with ECHO 5 to Metal Arm (item S)
using the Screw M6x25 (item K) and Flange Nut M6 (item Q):
Step 4. Attach the Dish Reflector (item G)to the Dish Holder (item T)using
four Screws M6x12mm (item Y)and four Nuts M6 (item R):

Step 5. Attach the Metal Arm (together with ECHO 5) to the Offset Dish using
the Taping Screw 4x13mm (item H):
It is recommended to secure the Ethernet cable on the metal
arm with plastic cable ties (item AB) to avoid damage of the
Ethernet port of the ECHO 5.
ECHO 5 with Dish Assembly Mounting on
Pole
The APC ECHO 5 with Offset Dish is supplied with mounting kit for pole
installation (40-60mm diameter). Use the following procedure to mount the
device on a pole:
Step 1. Fasten the Angle Adjust Bracket (item U) to the Dish Holder using
two Screws M6x70mm (item P), and two Flange Nuts M6 (item Q)
with two Washers ID=6mm (item O) and with two Spring Washers
ID=6.5mm (item N).

Quick Installation Guide Installation
deliberant Page 17
Step 2. Attach the Dish Assembly to the pole using the two U-Bolts (item V),
two Clamp Brackets (item W),four Washers ID=8mm (item Z), four
Spring Washers ID=8mm (item AA) and four Nuts M8 (item M):
Step 3. Connect the APC to a PoE power source: connect an Ethernet cable
coming from Ethernet port on the APC ECHO 5 to the POE port of
the PoE Adapter, then connect other Ethernet cable from your LAN
to the Ethernet port labeled LAN on the PoE Adapter and power up
the device:

Step 4. After the unit is powered-on, the green Power LED must be on (refer
at the respective section LEDs). Dependently on link quality, up to
four yellow LEDs will switch on indicating that link between two units
was established successfully.

ECHO 5 Grounding
The APC ECHO 5 must be grounded before connecting power to protect
against lightning.
Step 1. The grounding cable must be attached to the grounding stud and
fixed with the grounding screw (item Fin the Figure 1 –ECHO 5
Package Contents):
Grounding recommendations:
Use the grounding cable to connect the device housing
with the grounding stake.
Use conductor larger than 6 AWG.
Keep grounding cable as short as possible.

ECHO 5 with Dish Assembly Adjustment
The ECHO 5 Offset Dish has an elevation scale on the holder which allows
adjust dish to the correct elevation angle. Assuming that elevation angle of the
link is 0 degrees, point the marks on the ADJ mounting bracket (item Uon the
Figure 2 –Offset Dish Package Contents) at 0 degrees on lower scale (90
degrees on upper scale) and then firmly tighten the nuts:
Use lower scale on the bracket for change dish elevation
angle up (therefore the upper scale is for aligning dish
elevation angle down).
