R2 Installation
The R2 is designed to be
temporarily or permanently mounted
within a utility vehicle for the meter
reading and customer service
functions.
The unit is small (roughly 6”x3”) and
can be installed easily in a utility
vehicle.
Recommended placement for the
R2 is in the vehicle console or on
protected location on floorboard.
Note: Avoid installing the R2 unit on
the dashboard or other position of
direct sunlight. Excessive heat from
direct sunlight can cause decreased
performance.
Power Cable
The R2 unit will have connection for
the vehicle power supply. This
connection is a DC power plug that
is designed for a vehicle lighter
outlet or DC outlet. The power
cable is fused with a 1A slow-blow
fuse. The cable is coiled allowing
for extension up to 3 feet.
INSTALLATION & CABLING
USB Cable to Laptop
The R2 connects to the G2 laptop via a
standard USB cable (type A connector
at the laptop, type B at the R2).
The laptop will require the correct USB
serial driver installed before operation.
Check with T2 Customer Service for
assistance.
Antenna Installation
The R2’s antenna is a omni-directional
whip antenna with a magnetic mount
base. The antenna connects to the
base via a standard N-type connector.
The base connects to the R2 via an
RP-TNC (threaded) connector.
The antenna’s cable and connection is
critical to the performance of the
system. The user should always take
care to ensure the cable is not crimped,
bent or damaged at the point of exit
from the vehicle. Also, the user should
take care in threading the antenna onto
the base and the base into the R2 unit.
