CreataLink2 XT Hardware Integrator’s Guide Testing
Installation
Installation
This chapter describes how to install the CreataLink2 XT device. Procedures are
for basic external antenna installation.
Installation Overview
The data transceiver is a small, easy-to-operate product that requires comparatively
little space. Installation requires common tools and equipment (see Table 5-2). A
dimensional drawing is provided (see Figure 5-1).
• Mount the unit in an area that is as free of EMI as possible; away from noisy
digital supplies and controllers. Do not mount the unit near metallic objects, or
where it would be subjected to constant vibration.
• Ensure that the voltage supply is well-regulated; free from excessive ripple and
voltage spikes. The ripple specification is 100 mV peak-to-peak up to 5 MHz.
The voltage supply should not drop below 5V for transmit/receive capability.
• Mount the external antenna in such a way as to prevent people coming within
twelve inches of it, per FCC RF hazard regulations.
Required Tools and Equipment
The tools and equipment required for installation are listed in Table 5-2.
G
Follow the installation procedure and guidelines as specified. Failure to follow directions could
cause the unit to function improperly and/or cause the unit to become non-compliant with
FCC regulations.
