Testing CreataLink2 XT Hardware Integrator’s Guide
Installation
Installation Procedures
Ensure that there is no door opening and closing interference before you mount the
CreataLink2 XT device, if applicable.
Mounting
Mount the data transceiver to a rigid, flat surface using 4 standoffs or customer-
developed enclosure appropriate for environment (i.e. maintaining temperature
around the board assembly to -40 deg. C to +85 deg. C and ensuring that
condensation, and water/dust/salt fog intrusion does not occur).
External Antenna Assembly
1. Select a mounting surface that is as high as possible, flat, clean, and at least
eight inches in diameter. For optimal antenna performance, the mounting
surface should be metal.
2. Drill a 1/2-inch hole in the center of the mounting surface.
Insert coaxial cable through the mounting surface hole until the external antenna
lies flush on the mounting surface.
3. Install the lockwasher and mounting nut. Tighten to a snug fit with a 3/4-inch
wrench. Do not overtighten.
CreataLink2 XT Data Transceiver Installation
Mount the CreataLink2 XT device using the following steps or develop your own
enclosure appropriate for the end-use environment.
1. Use the dimensions given in Figure 5-1 (1.457 inches and 3.464 inches) to mark
the mounting location. All the dimensions in Figure 5-1 are in inches.
2. Drill four 0.138-inch (#28 drill bit) mounting holes.
3. Position the CreataLink2 XT data transceiver and install the Richco Standoffs
(or other equivalent standoffs to be inserted into the 0.128-inch PCB holes). Do
not overtighten the hex nuts.
➧
Drill the mounting surface hole close enough to the data transceiver location so that
the cable can reach it.
G
Do not cut coaxial cable. Changing the length could degrade antenna performance.
