Section2.3
Site Preparation and Precautions
Before installing the subscriber unit and or antenna(s), it is important to plan the the complete installation and
make sure the appropriate safe guards are in place.
Site Selection
Consider the following recommendations when selecting an appropriate site for the subscriber unit and
antenna(s):
• Mount the antenna(s) at the highest point possible. Reception will increase according to the height of the
antenna(s).
• Mount the antenna(s) in a place with as few obstructions as possible between the antenna(s) and the planned
service area.
• To avoid interference, mount the antenna(s) and subscriber unit as far as possible from other antenna(s) and
subscriber units.
• Keep the cable from the subscriber unit to the antenna(s) as short as possible and mount the antenna(s) as
close as possible to the subscriber unit. Using a cable longer than 2 m (6.6 ft) will result in greater loss and more
interference, as the cable will act as an antenna itself.
• Do not point the antenna(s) directly at populated areas.
• Locate the antenna(s) at least 3.6 m (11.8 ft) from people and public areas.

Chapter 2
Installing the Subscriber Unit
RUGGEDCOM WIN5137-V
Installation Guide
8 Mounting the Subscriber Unit
• Make sure the antenna(s) and subscriber unit are easily accessible for maintenance purposes.
• Conduct a site survey to best position the subscriber unit and antenna(s) in relation to other subscriber units,
antennas and base stations in the area. The site survey should also take into consideration the overall safety of
the selected site
Site Survey
Most wireless networks include many subscriber/base stations installedin various locations in an overlapping
radio-cell pattern. It is important to position each subscriber unit in an optimal location considering the
assignment of its radio channels. Therefore, a site survey becomes an essential first step before physically
deploying the subscriber unit.
The site survey should include details important to the planning of the subscriber unit deployment in each specific
site, including potential mounting points for the subscriber unit and antennas, as well as the routing options for
data, power and antenna cables.
For safety, always consult with the local power utility as well. It is important to select a site that not only offers
maximum coverage, but is also safe for installers to work in.
Safety Precautions
When installing the subscriber unit or an antenna, make sure to adhere to the following safety precautions:
• Always install the subscriber unit with the help of a partner.
• Always use the most appropriate mounting method for the site and the equipment being installed. For
assistance, contact a Siemens representative.
• Always assume an overhead line can cause serious injury or death. Note that electric power lines and phone
lines look alike.
• Always wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the task, including but not limited to
rubber boots, rubber gloves, hard hat, harness and lanyard, etc.
• Always use a ladder made of a non-conductive material, such as wood or fiberglass. Do not use a metal ladder.
• Always work under favorable conditions. Do not work on wet or windy days.
• If the subscriber unit or antenna begins to drop, step away immediately and allow it to fall. The subscriber unit,
cables, metal guy wires and pole (in the case of pole mount installations) are all excellent conductors. Any
contact between these components and an electrical power line will complete an electrical path through the
subscriber unit/antenna and the installer.
• If any part of the subscriber unit or an antenna comes in contact with an electrical power line, contact the local
power utility. Do not attempt to touch or remove the component.
Section2.4
Mounting the Subscriber Unit
The RUGGEDCOM WIN5137-V is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be secured to a

3. Select a mounting location on the pole.
4. Position the mounting bracket against the pole.
NOTE
When mounting the subscriber unit, note the orientation of the clamping bracket in Figure 3 or
Figure 4.
5. Secure the clamping bracket to the mounting bracket using screws, spring washers and nuts. Make sure the
screws are hand tightened.
6. Make sure the subscriber unit is properly grounded according to local standards. For more information, refer
to Section2.6, “Grounding the Subscriber Unit”.
7. Tighten the screws connecting the clamping bracket to the mounting bracket. Make sure the screws are
torqued to 14 N·m (10 lbf-ft).
Section2.5
Installing the Antennas
The RUGGEDCOM WIN5137-V supports N-Connect female antennas.
To install an antenna, do the following:
WARNING!
Radiation hazard – risk of Radio Frequency (RF) exposure. This subscriber unit is compliant with the
requirements set forth in FCC CFR 47, section 1.1307, addressing Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from
radio frequency base stations, as defined in FCC OET Bulletin 65 [http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/
Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet65/oet65.pdf]. The emitted radiation should be as
little as possible. To achieve minimum RF exposure, install the subscriber unit when it is configured
not to transmit and set it to operational mode remotely, rather than having a technician enable
transmission on-site. For maintenance of the subscriber unit or other operations which require RF
exposure, the exposure should be minimized in time and according to the regulations set forth by the
country of installation or the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
WARNING!
The subscriber unit must be placed at a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in) from all persons during normal
operation. The antennas used for this product must not be located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter evaluation procedures.
IMPORTANT!
During antenna installation, observe the following:
• Always install the antenna at least 40 cm (16 in) from people and public areas.
• Antenna must be in a fixed position.
• Make sure the front of the antenna is always facing the base station. In some conditions, such as
when the line of sight to the subscriber unit is impeded, better reception may be achieved using a
reflected signal. In this case, direct the antenna towards the reflecting object, rather than towards
the base station.
• In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to make sure the level at which the subscriber unit
receives transmissions from the base station (and vice versa) is not too high. When only the last RSSI
LED is on, this indicates saturation and the received signal level is too high. This must be avoided,

preferably by tilting the antenna upwards. As a general rule, if the subscriber unit is located at a
distance of less than 300 m (984 ft) from the base station, it is recommended to tilt the antenna
upwards by approximately 10 to 15°.
• After the antenna is installed, do not change the antenna position.
1. Mount the antenna to a pole or wall in an area that provides good signal coverage and is away from any
signal noise emanating from other communications equipment.
2. Position the antenna towards the general direction of the designated base station.
WARNING!
Fire hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. To reduce the risk of fire,
use only 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord between indoor and outdoor devices.
3. Using shielded coaxial cables, connect the antenna to the lightning protector. Make sure the cables are
routed away from any noise sources, such as Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).

4. Make sure the PWR LED on the subscriber unit is on.
5. Adjust the position of the antenna until the maximum RSSI link quality reading is achieved. A single RSSI LED
indicates the subscriber unit is at minimum synchronized with the base station. For information about the
RSSI LED indicators, refer to Section1.2, “Description”.
If the subscriber unit is not synchronized with the base station, make sure the subscriber unit is properly
configured. For more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM WIN User Guide for the subscriber unit.
If the expected link quality still cannot be achieved, try to improve the reception quality by placing the
antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.
6. Make sure the antenna is properly grounded according to local standards.
Section2.6
Grounding the Subscriber Unit
When connecting the ground cable to the subscriber unit, make sure to use a 10 AWG grounding cable and torque
the screw to 15 N·m (11 ft. lb.).

DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of death or serious injury. The system must be properly grounded to protect
against power surges and accumulated static electricity. It is the installer’s responsibility to install this
base station in accordance with the local electrical codes.
Section2.7
Connecting Power and Data
The RUGGEDCOM WIN5137-V requires a 9 to 36 VDC Class 2 power supply.
IMPORTANT!
When connecting a DC battery power supply, make sure to use a 36 VDC, 3 A, double-pole circuit
breaker as the main disconnecting device.
To connect a power supply to the subscriber unit, do the following:
1. Make sure the power supply is grounded. For more information, refer to Section2.6, “Grounding the
Subscriber Unit”.
CAUTION!
Crushing hazard – risk of damage to cables. Route all power supply cables so that people cannot
walk on them or place objects on or against them.
2. Connect the power supply to the M12 (4-pin, male, A-coded) PWR port on the subscriber unit.
3. Connect a CAT-5e cable between the ETH port on the subscriber unit and a router/switch.
Section2.8
Weatherproofing the Subscriber Unit
Most outdoor subscriber unit, antenna and cable problems are caused by coaxial cable connections loosened by
vibration, allowing moisture to penetrate the connector interface. Siemens strongly recommends weatherproofing
all outdoor cable connections to prevent the ingress of water and help secure connections.
Use cold shrink tubing or self-amalgamating tape, as well as UV-resistant tape and electrical insulation putty to
seal connections.
IMPORTANT!
Warranty is void if the subscriber unit is assembled without waterproof sealing or if the sealing is
removed from the connections.
IMPORTANT!
The method of weatherproofing described in this section must be completed on all external
connections. If surge arrestors are used, all associated connections and arrestors must be completely
wrapped with splicing tape or self-amalgamating tape.
