Depending on the setup, it may be helpful to note the transceiver's serial number and any other information
needed from the transceiver's label.
1. Place lock washers on all eight of the screws.
2. Attach the standoffs to the front side (non-flat side) of the transceiver with four screws.
3. Align standoffs with the bracket holes and secure with the other four screws.
Powering the Transceiver
To provide power to the transceiver, connect it to a power supply that meets the specifications outlined in the
product's data sheet and the product's user manual.
For any application where the transceiver is used in a UL-controlled environment, the power supply must be a
Class 2 power source. Use a dedicated power supply line.
Important: GX-C, GX-CE, and GX-T transceivers are UL approved for use between
+6.0 to +30.0 VDC. However, for guaranteed performance, FreeWave recommends
using between +7.5 to +30.0 VDC to power the transceiver.
If the power supply line runs outside the enclosure, use electrostatic discharge (ESD) protectors to protect the
transceiver from electric shock, and transient voltage suppressors (TVS) to protect from an over-voltage
