3. Press the ferrite bead into the recess in the battery well.
4. Place the battery in the battery well as shown in the following graphic.
Providing Power
The final step of the collector or repeater installation is to provide power to the
equipment. Depending on the collector or repeater model, either a two pin cable (DC),
three pin cable (AC), or a five pin cable (solar) is required.
Caution Do not move or tilt the collector for one minute after connecting power.
Moving or tilting a collector too soon after connecting power causes the factory
software and configuration to be loaded.
Warning
Securely mount the collector or repeater before connecting the dedicated AC
mains power source.
The collector or repeater must be grounded by either the ground wire in the
three conductor cable, or the grounding lug on the bottom of the equipment.
For installations that use the photocell adapter, the grounding lug must be
used to ground the collector.
