TR-6000 Series
Tranzeo Wireless Technologies
The TR-6000 Series radios are easy to install, as you’ll see in this chapter. Before
starting, you will need to get the tools listed below and decide about the site and
orientation of the device. Once ready, follow the instructions about how to install
the Ethernet cable, mount the device, ground the antenna, and make the
connections in order to get a proper installation.
Getting Ready
Tools Required
To install your TR-6000 Series radio you will need the following tools:
• 1/2” wrench x 1
• 3/4” wrench x 1

Installing the Ethernet Cable
Step 2:
Using a 3/4” wrench, tighten the strain
relief until it touches the boot cover.
IMPORTANT! Use hand tools only. Do
not over tighten.
Step 3:
Put the cap nut back over the strain relief
and insert the Cat 5 cable through it. Wire
the cable following the EIA/TIA T568B
standard, and attach the RJ-45 connectors
to each end of the cable. (See Appendix F:
Wiring Standard).
Step 1:
Insert the strain relief, without the cap nut,
into the port opening of the boot cover.
Step 4:
If you purchased the device with a dual
port cover, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for the
second port.
IMPORTANT! If you are not going to use
the second port, insert the strain relief into
the boot cover and tighten the cap nut to
ensure a weather-tight seal, as shown in
the picture.

Step 7:
Fit the boot cover over the 4 studs and the
gasket. Secure with 4 keps nuts. Tighten
with a 3/8” wrench until the gasket is at
least 50% compressed.
Step 5:
Place the gasket—with the adhesive side
facing up—over the 4 studs around the port
of the radio. Flatten the gasket ensuring
there are no gaps. Remove the backing.
Step 8:
Make sure the cap nut of the strain relief is
tightened properly to ensure a weather-
proof seal.
IMPORTANT! Hand tighten only. Do not
over tighten as you may damage the
weather-tight seal of the strain relief.
Step 6:
Plug the Cat 5 cable inserted in the boot
cover into the port. Remember to place the
boot cover according to the desired
polarization, so that the strain relief faces
the ground.

Connecting the Radio
Step 14:
To configure the TR-6000 Series radio,
connect the Ethernet cable to the POE
adapter and to a computer. Ensure that the
distance between the computer and the
radio does not exceed 300 ft (90 m).
Note: If connecting to a hub or switch, a
crossover cable may be required.
IMPORTANT! Use the power adapter
supplied with the radio. Otherwise, it may
be damaged.
Step 12:
Connect the Cat 5 cable from the radio into
the RJ-45 jack marked “CPE” on the POE
adapter. The POE adapter is not weather-
proof and should be installed indoors.
Step 13:
Connect the power adapter to the POE
adapter and plug the other end to an outlet.
The POE adapter will be powered on and
the power indicator on the top panel will
turn on. We recommend connecting the
power adapter to an outlet with surge
suppression capability with an uninterrupted
power supply (UPS) for reduced outages.

Best Practices
Follow these practices to ensure a correct installation and grounding.
• Always try to run long Cat 5 and LMR cables inside of the mounting pole.
This helps to insulate the cable from any air surges.
• Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a loop into the cables.
• Test all grounds to ensure that you are using a proper ground. If using an
electrical socket for ground, use a socket tester, such as Radio Shack 22-141.
• Keep a copy of the National Electrical Code Guide at hand and follow its
recommendations.
• If you are in doubt about the grounding at the location, drive your own rod
and bond it to the house ground. At least you will know that one rod is
correct in the system.
