Lyngby, Denmark You need a BGAN SIM card for either BGAN M2M or BGAN class 2 services. To insert the SIM card, do as follows: NOTE: Make sure the EXPLORER 540 is not powered when you insert or remove the SIM card! 1. Open the cover for the interface enclosure at the back of the EXPLORER 540. Use the included Torx bit to unscrew the screws. 2. Locate the SIM holder in the middle of the compartment. 3. Slide the lock to release the SIM holder. 4. Lift the end of the SIM holder and insert the SIM card as shown. 5. Lower the SIM card holder with the SIM card inserted and lock it. 6. When all cables are connected, put the cover back on and tighten the screws. NOTE: Make sure the PIN for the SIM card is either disabled or set up for automatic valida- tion. For details, see the EXPLORER 540 User and integrator’s manual. A pole mount kit is included in the package. To mount the EXPLORER 540 on a pole, do as follows: 1. Attach the base of the pole mount bracket to the EXPLORER 540 using the included Hex L key on the 4 screws. Caution! Max. length of the screws is 9 mm! Longer screws can damage the EXPLORER 540. 2. Unscrew two of the long screws from the pole mount kit to leave one side open for the pole. 3. Place the pole mount kit with the EXPLORER 540 around the pole as shown. 4. Remount the two remaining long screws. Do not tighten the screws completely until you have pointed the antenna. 5. Power up the system. Observe the LED between the cable glands (see LED description on the back). •� LED�flashing�rapidly�green:�Starting�up •� LED�flashing�yellow:�Pointing •� LED steady yellow: Warning! See Verification on the back. When�LED�flashes�yellow:�Turn�and�tilt�the� EXPLORER 540 and use the pointing sound to obtain the highest possible signal strength (continuous sound = best signal). When you have the highest possible signal strength, tighten all the screws on the pole mount kit to keep the EXPLORER 540 in the pointed position. The EXPLORER 540 will automatically exit the pointing process once it has detected a stable BGAN signal. When the pointing process has ended, the LED changes as follows: •� LED�flashing�green:� Verifying network connection •� LED steady green and then off: Ready - installation process has ended successfully. The LED is disabled (off) after a few minutes. Note: If the LED is steady yellow, it means the installation failed and there is a warning. If you can connect a computer locally to the EXPLORER 540, you can use the web interface to follow the progress on screen, see any warnings, and restart the installation if necessary. See Verification on the back. Note:�The�installation�will�fail�if�the�SIM�card�requires�a�user�defined�APN value and you have not yet entered this in the EXPLORER 540. Specify the APN value and restart the installation. For details, see the EXPLORER 540 User and integrator’s manual. To maintain the Ingress Protection rating of the EXPLORER 540 and to avoid cables acciden- tally being disconnected, all cable connections are made inside the interface enclosure at the back of the EXPLORER 540. Tools: •� Use the provided Torx bit to open the interface enclosure at the back of the terminal •� Use�a�flat�blade�screw�driver�(max.�2�mm�wide)�to�press�down�the�spring-loaded�terminals •� Use�a�flat�blade�screw�driver�(max.�3.5�mm�wide)�to�unscrew�and�fasten�the�screw�termi- nals 1. Lead the cable(s) through the cable gland(s) and gasket(s) (suitable for cable diameter 5-10 mm). For C1D2 installations, use cable glands that comply with NEC501.10b. Make sure�the�cable�glands�fit�tightly. 2. Connect the cables according to your configuration.�See�the�reverse�of�this� guide�for�pinout,�specifications�and� example�configuration�drawing. The RJ-45 connector of the LAN cable can pass through the cable gland. (see picture) 3. If you are not using PoE to power the EXPLORER 540, connect a power cable between the DC input terminals and a current-limited power supply or an external battery as described below. 4. When all cables are connected, mount the cover for the interface enclosure and tighten the screws with the included Torx bit. Important! If you only need to install one cable, mount the provided blind plug in the unu- sed hole to maintain the Ingress Protection (IP grade) of the terminal. To connect to the DC input: 1. Lead the cable through the cable gasket at the DC input. 2. If the DC cable is shielded, insert the end of the shield into the terminal marked 3-GND in the DC terminal block and tighten the screw to torque 4.5 lbf in. 3. Insert the negative wire into the terminal marked 2-DCIN- in the DC terminal block and tighten the screw to torque 4.5 lbf in. 4. Insert the positive wire into the terminal marked 1-DCIN+ in the DC terminal block and tighten the screw to torque 4.5 lbf in. 5. Tighten the cable gland. The following items are included in the delivery: •� EXPLORER 540 terminal •� Pole mount kit •� 2 ATEX-approved cable glands and 1 Blind plug •� Torx bit Size TX10 (tamper resi- stant, 1/4” Hex drive) for mounting/ unmounting the cover for the interface enclosure •� Installation guide (this guide) EXPLORER 540 User and integrator’s manual (part no. 98-148232) as well as other language versions of this installation guide are available for download at the Cobham SYNC Partner Portal.
