To use the telemetry gateway and wireless modem, you need to do
the following:
• Install the outdoor unit.
• Install the indoor unit.
• Initialize the base station.
Installing the Outdoor Unit
Install the outdoor unit on the rooftop of the house where the base
station will be located or on top of a nearby mast.
After unpacking the components of the base station, identify the
device marked “Wireless Modem A440.” This unit has two connec-
tors: one for a whip antenna (also supplied in the package) and a
second that accommodates the 30 m (100 ft) connection cable to
the indoor unit.
Note: This operation should be performed by a certified electri-
cian. Make sure that the mast on which the A440 Wireless
Modem will be installed is properly grounded.
Complete the following steps to install the outdoor unit:
1. Fasten the wireless modem to the aluminum mast (provided
by Adcon) using the supplied ring clamp.
2. Fasten the antenna to the wireless modem.
3. Plug the proper end of the communication cable into the
lower connector of the wireless modem.
4. Secure the mast in its place on the roof.
5. Run the cable to the indoor unit.
Figure 1 illustrates these steps.
