Location Considerations
- Install the transmitter in a place that receives minimal direct sunlight.
- Avoid placing the transmitter near windows, air conditioning units, or other heat and moisture sources such as cooling towers.
- Install the transmitter at least 8 ft (2.5 m) above the ground.
Important: To minimize the time spent working on a ladder, prepare the transmitter configuration and wiring before mounting the transmitter.Figure 1. Preparing the Transmitter for Mounting
- Loosen the six captive screws that hold the transmitter cover in place.
- Be sure the DIP switches are set to the desired setting. See DIP Switch Settings .
- Route the power and signal cable through the cable gland or the conduit adaptor to the screw terminals, and connect the wires.
- Disconnect the terminal block by pulling it away from the component board.
- Adjust the cable length between the cable gland and the terminal block. Make sure the cover closes without leaving a loop within the transmitter.
- Tighten the cable gland or conduit adaptor.
Important: Do not attach the cover to the transmitter until the transmitter has been mounted on the pole or wall.
