LUTRON LTE Modem LUT-LTE-1
Important Notes
Environment
Ambient operating temperature: 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C), 5% to 95%
relative humidity, non-condensing. Indoor use only.
Codes
Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
Cleaning
To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical cleaning
solutions.
18 V- Power Supply
NOTICE: Using a power supply that is not rated at the proper
specifications could damage the modem and possibly overheat the power supply.
Use only the power supply that is provided with the device.. This device is
NOT intended to be powered from the PoE port of an Ethernet Switch. The
included PoE adapter can be used to remote mount the power supply.
Installation
Step 1: Inventory parts included with LUT-LTE-1
Package should include the following parts:
– Modem with SIM card installed
– 18 V- power supply
– Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter
– Antennas (2) Temporary battery pack
– Ethernet cables (2)
– Mounting hardware
Step 2: Affix both antennas to the LUT-LTE-1 modem and install the
temporary battery pack in the modem
Step 3: Perform a site survey to determine the best location for the
LUT-LTE-1
-
Before mounting, use the included battery pack to initially power the device.
Note: The battery pack is not rechargeable and only lasts for approximately 2 hours. Only use this when completely ready to find the optimum location to mount the modem. -
Wait for the blinking LTE LED to turn solid blue to confirm cellular connectivity.
-
Move the LUT-LTE-1 to different locations within the jobsite to determine the best balance between signal strength and installation constraints. Since the cellular signal varies over time, it is important to wait at each location for 1 minute while observing the cellular strength LED indicators on the front of the LUT-LTE-1.
-
IMPORTANT: Minimum cellular strength is 3 bars illuminated on the front of the LUT-LTE-1. Failure to have 3 bars of cellular strength may result in an unreliable Internet connection which may impact startup / service / support.
-
Verify that the installation location does not violate any security or facility policies.
-
The LTE modem must be mounted in a location so that a CAT5e (minimum cable) can be run from the panel to the modem and be less than 328 ft (100 m).
Step 4: Remove temporary battery pack and permanently install the LUT-
LTE-1
- Remove the battery pack from the LUT-LTE-1.
- Using the suppled brackets, permanently mount the LUT-LTE-1 in the location that was determined in Step 3.
NOTE: The LUT-LTE-1 modem is powered by either an 18 V- power supply or an 18 V- power supply and passive PoE adapter. If powering the LUT-LTE-1 modem directly from the 18 V- power supply, a receptacle must be within 5 ft (1.53 m) of the modem. If using the 18 V- power supply and passive PoE adapter, a receptacle must be within 5 ft (1.53 m) of the PoE adapter.
NOTE: Mount at the selected location so the exposed Ethernet ports are not easily accessible.
Step 5: Wiring to QP5 or QP6 light management hubs
– Wire the LUT-LTE-1 to the QP5/QP6 light management hubs as shown, using CAT5e minimum Ethernet cable.
Troubleshooting
