Tip: When using a cable connected to an antenna placed away from the modem,
minimize the length of your cable. All gain from a more advantageous antenna placement
can be lost with a long cable length to the modem.
Connecting to Power
Warning: Risk of electric shock: Only use the supply voltages listed in this user guide.
Warning: The operating temperature range of the 12V AC power adapter is 0
°
- 40
°
C.
This range is less than the operating temperature range of the Raven X. For deployments
in more extreme temperatures, use the optional DC power cable rather than the AC power
adapter.
With the appropriate power adapter, the Raven X can be used with either DC or
AC power. DC cables and AC adapters are available as optional accessories in
addition to the one included with your Raven X.
The DC power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power
source positive terminal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to
the battery or power source negative terminal.
Tip: The DC power cable has a white wire lead in addition to the power positive and
negative. This is for a feature not present in the Raven line modems. In the Raven X, the
white wire lead has no function and can be ignored.
Note: When using a DC power source (e.g., a solar cell), Sierra Wireless recommends
placing a fuse (1-2 Amp) on the line close to the power source to protect your power
source from possible surges due to shorts or other line issues.
Warning: Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
