Miscellaneous

Open the Case Door

To open the case door properly, press the two clips (latches) and pull the wing to an open
position. The cable cover is opened counter-clockwise to expose the cable connections and
the backup battery cover is opened clockwise to expose the battery housing.

Close the Case Door

To close the case door properly, press until the latch clicks. Note that if the batteries in the
housing are not inserted properly, the backup battery cover door may not close. If the cable
connections are not threaded properly through the cable holes, the cable cover may not close.

Antenna Placement

The antenna is connected to the internal radio through the snap hole on top of the plastic
housing (see Figure 9). For models with external radios, screw the antenna onto the radio
antenna connector.
An antenna placed on top of the plastic housing produces
strong electromagnetic fields that could be harmful to the
electronics of the MOSCAD-M RTU and to people in the vicinity.

Fixed Site Antennas

The antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to assure
optimal performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines set forth by the local regulations.
•
The antenna must be mounted outside the building.
•
Mount the antenna on a tower if at all possible.
•
If the antenna is to be mounted on a building, then it must be mounted on the roof.
•
As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage
the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. This may require
additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access
restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.
