E Series Data Radio – User Manual

Part E – Getting Started- ER450
Power Supply Requirements
The E Series radio modem is designed and calibrated to operate
from a filtered 13.8Vdc regulated supply, but will operate from a
10-16Vdc (11-16Vdc for EB450 & EH450) range. See Section L
- Specifications for more details on power supply requirements
Caution: There is NO readily serviceable internal fuse,
and therefore the radio modem MUST be externally fused
with a fuse and fuse holder (ER450: 3 amp fast-blow fuse,
EB450: 5 amp fast-blow fuse).
The radio is designed to self protect from permanent damage if the
voltage exceeds 16Vdc or if reverse polarity is applied. The radio
may need to be returned for service if this occurs.
The radio modem can also be damaged if there is any potential
difference between the chassis-ground, RS232 signal ground,
power (-) input, or antenna coaxial shield. Before connecting any
wiring, ensure all components are earthed to a common ground
point (please pay particular attention to 24V PLC power systems
where converters are used).
Connect the antenna and RS 232 plugs BEFORE applying power
to the unit.
Lastly, before inserting the power plug, please re-check that
the polarity and voltage on the power plug is correct using a
multimeter.
