• Power Supply (see power considerations).

• Environmental Enclosure— ENC 10/12, ENC 12/14, or ENC 16/18.

4.3 Power Considerations

• A power cable included with the modem connects to the datalogger's 12 V

or switched 12 V terminal. Connection to the switched 12 V terminal

allows the datalogger to switch power to the modem during scheduled

transmission intervals if desired.

• When using the switched 12 V terminal, the modem can typically be

powered with a BP12 battery, CH100 charger/regulator, and MSX10 solar

panel.

5. Program the Raven XT-Rogers Modem

It is recommended that the modem be provisioned and tested in the office

(assuming there is cellular coverage) rather than in the field.

The AceManager software utility is used to configure settings in the modem

and to load the Raven XT template file. The AceManager utility can be found

on the CD included with the modem, or can be downloaded from Sierra

Wireless’s website: www.SierraWireless.com/support

Campbell Scientific’s “Raven XT Template 115200” file for dataloggers that

support 115200 baud (e.g. CR1000), or “Raven XT Template 9600” file for

dataloggers that support a maximum baud rate of 9600 (e.g. CR10X). The

template file configures the modem to be compatible with CSI dataloggers.
