2.1 INSTALLATION PLANNING
To ensure reliable and safe operation of the system, the
following points must be considered before installing the
receiver assembly.
If the receiver cabinet is to be installed outdoors,
connections to the cabinet must be water tight.
If the receiver is installed in a corrosive environment,
consult the factory for optional NEMA 4X cabinets, or
house the receiver cabinet in a secondary protective
enclosure.
If the receiver is to be installed in environments where
the ambient temperature drops below -20
O
or rises above +160
F (+70
to maintain the interior of the enclosure to within these
temperature limits.
2.2 MOUNTING LOCATION
Refer to section 6, Receiver Description, for the
receiver cabinet dimensions and layout. When planning
the location for mounting the receiver, observe the
following rules:
1.
Allow sufficient room to swing the cabinet door
open for ease of wiring and service.
2.
If the antenna is mounted directly on the receiver
cabinet, allow a minimum or 8 inches below the
cabinet for clearance. Refer to 2.3 ANTENNA
MOUNTING for more information.
3.
If possible, avoid mounting the receiver on a surface
where excessive vibration or shock is present. If
this is not possible, appropriate shock mounts must
be used.
4.
Allow for positive earth ground to the receiver
cabinet.

2.3 ANTENNA MOUNTING
The antenna is one of the most important parts of a radio
receiving system. The receiver is designed with a specially
tuned antenna to provide excellent operating reliability
under most conditions. Care in placing the receiver
antenna will ensure reliable operation under the most
severe conditions.
A direct "line-of-sight" between the transmitter and
receiver antenna will provide the best performance. The
radio signal will often "bounce" off metallic objects and
reach the receiver even when the antenna is directly
shielded from the transmitter.
O
C)
In most cases the antenna may be mounted directly on
the receiver cabinet. If the receiver cabinet location is
not suitable and the antenna must be mounted at a remote
location, the p/n 600038 antenna kit should be used.
The remote mounting kit includes a right angle bracket
with antenna mount and a coaxial extension cable.
It is recommended that the receiver not be connected to
power lines where large transients are present. These
transients are typically caused by motors, contactors and
other large inductive loads.
2.4 RECEIVER INSTALLATION

good condition. The following items are included unless
otherwise noted on the packing list.
