Secure to shaft.
NOTE: If testing will not begin for some time, put the TX20K in
Standby mode to save battery life. The Status Indicator light will
turn off. A fresh battery will last for several days in this mode.
4. Cut an appropriate length of 4-conductor ribbon cable (as short
as practical to avoid unwanted electrical noise) and strip and tin
ends. Solder to gage per Appendix C or gage manufacturer’s
specification and make appropriate connections to the TX20K
terminals. Secure loose cable to shaft.
5. Connect Receiver Antenna to Antenna connector on the rear
panel of the RX20K Receiver. Position magnetic-mount antenna
with element installed near the TX20K, typically within 10 feet (3
meters).
6. Use a USB A male to B male cable to connect the RX20K to a
computer for power and communications. The TT20K
Configuration and Monitoring LabVIEW program must already be
installed on the computer as explained in the 818006-9 TT20K
Configuration and Monitoring User's Guide.
NOTE: If the RX20K was previously configured and only the
analog output (no serial data) is being used, any USB power
source with a minimum of 250mA output capability can be used
to power the RX20K.
7. If the TX20K and RX20K are not already communicating, use the
Configuration and Monitoring program to establish
communications between them. Verify adequate signal strength.
If possible, rotate the TX20K through complete range of motion
to verify strong signal reception in all orientations.
8. Use the Configuration and Monitoring program to set up other
parameters as necessary for the desired operation. All
parameters previously configured, should have been
automatically saved to non-volatile memory and should not
require reconfiguration. Configuration and Monitoring program
operation is detailed in document 818006-9.
9. The system is now operational.
