been optimised for locations near the latitude of Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth, but will provide good
operation over most of Australia.
The Solar Panel Mounting Plate kit is supplied with 4 saddle clamps. Both 2" (50mm) and 1" (25mm)
water pipe saddle clamps are supplied to allow several mounting options. Only two saddle clamps
are required to mount the Solar Panel Mounting Plate.
Attach the Solar Panel Mounting plate to the mast using two saddle clamps and 3/16" bolts and nuts.
Orientate the Solar Panel Mounting Plate so that the dark face of the Solar Panel is facing the
direction of the midday sun. This is approximately North and maximises the Solar Panel output.
Tighten the 3/16" nuts.
Route the Solar Panel power cable and antenna cable to the RMT Field Module. Secure the cables
using cable ties or other appropriate means.
RMT Field Module Installation
NOTE: It is important for the correct and continued reliable operation of the RMT Field Modules that
cables and wires are not subjected to deformation or damage during installation or normal use.
During installation, ensure that cables and wires are not positioned or routed such that deformation of
cables or wires could occur. Routing of the antenna cable should not result in a bend radius of less
than 75mm.
Using appropriate fasteners, attach the RM106 Module Mounting Plate in the desired position using
the two ¼" holes located at the top and bottom of the Module Mounting Plate. Using the 3/16" bolts
and nuts attach the RMT Field Module to the Module Mounting Plate and tighten.
Remove the front cover of the Radio-Master for Touch Field Module.
Connect the antenna cable by passing the gold coloured cable connector through the left hand cable
gland on the bottom of the RMT Field Module. Route the antenna cable such that a Rain drip loop is
formed. The apex of the loop should hang below the bottom edge of the RMT Field Module case.
Take the antenna cable connector and gently screw it onto the gold antenna connection protruding
from under the keyboard panel. Ensuring that the cable is not under stress tighten the gland to
exclude water and pests. Damage caused by water and pests (ants, slugs, mice, etc.) is not covered
under your warranty.
Connecting the Solar Panel Cable
Loosen the right hand cable gland nut and insert the Solar Panel power wires.
Strip 5mm of insulation from the Solar Panel wires.
Connect the red Solar Panel wire to the Connector Block Pwr position labelled"+" and connect the
blue or black Solar Panel wire to the Connector Block Pwr position labelled "-".
Tighten the cable gland nut.
Connecting the Battery Cable
The battery connector which was unplugged for shipment should now be connected to the Batt
position on the right hand side of the RMT Field Module board, next to the Pwr connector. This must
be done in order for the unit to function correctly.
Powering the RMT Field Module from a RM101 Plug Pack
Ensure the RM101 Plug Pack is not plugged into the 240V mains wall socket. Remove the connector
from the cable by cutting the 2.1mm plug from the RM101 Plug Pack cable.
