7.3. 9522B Modem Installation

The Base station installation should be conducted before

proceeding to the field to conduct the Remote station installation.

With the Base station installed first, it will provide the opportunity

to test the communications from the Base station before going

to, and/or while still in the field. If there is a malfunction, you may

be able to address the problem without having to return to the

Remote station.

The modem installation should employ the following steps:

1. Secure the L14394 mount and the 9522B interface in the

enclosure in appropriate locations. Be sure to keep in

mind all cable runs (i.e. antenna, power/control, and

interface). The SC932A can be secured in the same

L14394 as the 9522B.

2. Connect the ribbon cable of the 9522B interface to the

modem. Connect the other end of the ribbon cable to the

9522B interface.

3. Connect the L10873 serial cable (base station) to the

data port of the interface to the PC serial port. For the

remote station connect the L10873 serial cable between

the C2462 data port and the SC932A DCE port.

4. Connect the SC932A Datalogger port to the CS I/O port

with a SC12 cable.

5. Connect the Antenna Cable to the “ANT” connector of

the modem. Use the C2626 right anlge adaptor between

the antenna cable and modem to reduce cable strain.

6. Connect the bare leads of the 9522B interface to

datalogger and power supply. Start your connections

with the power control leads. Be sure power is off an the

power supply when making these connections.

Once all the items are attached, power can be applied to the

modem.
