2-3. Installation Guidelines
The FP310RAM-X is intended for installation in protected cabinets that prevent direct exposure to sun
radiation, rain, dust and dirt. It does not require forced air cooling.
The unit does not have any surge protection units inside.
2-3.1 Power Requirements
The FP310RAM-X operates on 9 to 30 VDC (nominal operation at 12Vdc), at an average power drain of
0.1W with instantaneous peak power of 0.3W. A suitable power source must be provided as part of the
installation.
The FP310RAM-X does not have an ON/OFF power switch, and will start operating as soon as power is
connected. Therefore, it is recommended to install a circuit breaker, which will also serve as an ON/OFF
switch, to protect the supply line of each FP310RAM-X.
2-3.2 Antenna
The type of antenna to be used with the FP310RAM-X is generally determined by the FP310RAM-X
application and communication zone requirements. The positioning of the antenna must be carefully set to
achieve the required communication zone pattern. Contact Telematics Wireless if you need help in
