Figure 13. Transceiver Mounting Dimensions

The screws holding the brackets to the radio are

⁄16 inch (8 mm). If

replacement screws are used for any reason, they must not exceed

this length to avoid damage to the radio’s PC board.

2. Install the antenna and antenna feedline for the station. Antennas

should be mounted in the clear and in accordance with the manufac-

turer’s instructions.

Additional information on antennas and feedlines is contained in

Section 3.4 (Page 11).

NOTE: Strong fields near the antenna can interfere with the operation

of the low level RTU circuits and change the reported values

of the data being monitored. For this reason, the antenna

should be mounted at least 10 feet (>3 meters) from the radio,

RTU, sensors and other components of the system.

3. Connect the data equipment to the transceiver’s

DATA INTERFACE

connector. Use only the required pins for the application—Do not

use a fully pinned (25 conductor) cable. Typical applications require

the use of Pin 2 (transmit data—TXD), Pin 3 (received data—RXD)
