Mounting and Connecting the Outdoor High Power Wireless (HPW)
Transceiver to the Automation Control System Load Center
The following describes how to mount and connect the HPW Link outdoor
transceiver to an IntelliTouch
Load Center or Power Center. See Figure 6 on page 12.
Mounting the HPW Outdoor Transceiver
The HPW outdoor transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached
antenna that communicates with the automation control system via a 15 ft.
four-conductor RS-485 communication cable.
HPW Outdoor Transceiver mounting location: Choose a convenient location
on a flat vertical surface near the Load Center at a minimum of 5 ft above
ground level to optimize the transmit and receive operating range. For optimum
performance position the HPW Outdoor transceiver with an unobstructed line-
of-sight propagation between the HPW Indoor and Outdoor transceiver.
1.
Position the back plate against the mounting surface so that the
transceiver is oriented in an upright position with the antenna
pointing upwards. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting points.
Drill four 3/16 in. diameter holes into the mounting surface and
insert the four plastic anchors provided in the kit.
Note: To avoid signal interference, mount the transceiver
a minimum of 10 feet away from the load center, any metal
surface/structure, or air blower located in the immediate area
of the equipment pad.
2.
Position the back plate over the mounting points and secure it with
the four mounting screws provided in the kit.
3.
Carefully position the transceiver circuit board into the mounted
back plate. Route the communication cable wire up through the
lower exit hole at the bottom of the back plate. Carefully pull the
communication cable out the lower hole and position the circuit
board in the back plate.
4.
Proceed to Connect the HPW Outdoor Transceiver Cable to the
RS-485 COM Port on Automation Control System on the next
page.
5.
Slide the case over the circuit board and antenna into the back
plate. Secure the circuit board in the case using the two retaining
screws.
