Physical installation considerations

The Data Access Radio Transceiver (DART) 200 is designed for both
stationary and mobile applications. The guidelines for modem
installation are:
Environment - The standalone DART 200 is ruggedly constructed.
However, it is not waterproof, so do not locate the modem where it
can get wet. Also, refer to the humidity specification in Appendix B,
Product Specifications. If installing the DART 200 in a wet
environment, enclose it in a proper National Electrical
Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) enclosure. Also, install the unit
where there is adequate ventilation to prevent possible overheating
Location - Installation with clear access to the unit is recommended
for viewing the LED, that indicates power and RF status, and for
accessing the RS-232 port for required personalization or
troubleshooting. Locate the DART 200, if possible, at least 2 feet
from personnel
Power Source - The DART 200 requires a nominal 13.8 V DC
regulated power source capable of supplying 2.5 amps maximum.
Refer to Appendix B, Product Specifications, for more details. Wire
the supplied power cord (Red positive, Black negative) with a Molex
connector to the power source using a 3.0 amp fuse
Refer to Figure 2-1 for instructions for installing the DART 200 with
the mounting bracket
