- Page 5 In the United States, the FCC regulates the licensing of this equipment. The ADL Sentry transceiver uses extended frequencies and may contain functions that are not operational in the United States and its territories.
- Page 6 Be mindful of the persistent nature of a GPS RTK data transmission and always limit your RF transmission output power when performing close-in survey situations to avoid interference with co-channel users. Pacific Crest recommends using the low RF power setting for construction site and other line-of-site surveys with baselines less than two miles (depending on terrain).
- Page 7 GPS RTK equipment is designed to function with intermittent gaps in the data. Heavy co-channel use may limit the ability of the radio to transmit the required information. In areas of heavy co-channel usage, try changing channels to a less used frequency. ADL Sentry User Guide...

Page 9: Introduction
This manual describes how to set up and use the Advanced Data Link (ADL) Sentry radio, model numbers ADLS-1 (390-430 MHz) and ADLS-2 (430-470 MHz). The ADL Sentry is an advanced, high speed, wireless data link that is designed specifically for environmental monitoring applications. Your success in using the radios is Pacific Crest’s primary goal. -

Wall Mounting Kit (PN K01134) Before connecting any cables, attach the ADL Sentry wall mount onto the back of the raido and then attach the wall mount to the wall Mast Mounting Kit (PN K01135) Alternatively attach the ADL Sentry mast mount onto the back of the radio and then attach the mast mount to the antenna mast. -
Page 15: Tripod Mount
Tripod mount Each ADL Sentry radio includes a tripod clip on the rear of the radio. Insert the clip into a slot on the tripod: Antenna and antenna mount The most important activity in setting up a radio transmitter is determining the placement and type of the antenna. - Page 16 The other end of this cable is attached to a tripod or elevated section of range pole. The RF antenna is then attached to the end of the cable. Pacific Crest offers an antenna cable that attaches to standard 5/8-in threaded tripods and range poles and antennas with NMO connectors.

The ADL Sentry supports one full RS-232 data port on an 8-pin I/O port. This port is used to receive or transmit data in “data mode. ” Attaching the ADL Sentry to a source of power and a source of data is all you need to do to put Port 1 into “data mode. ” Port 1 may also be used in “command mode”... -
Page 18: Battery Care
The 10 V warning and 9 V shut-off levels are the factory defaults. If you wish, you can use ADLCONF software (Radio Link - Advanced screen) to configure other power levels. You can input a lower value for the ADL Sentry, but please be advised that values lower than 9 V might permanently damage your battery. -

Use with Machinery and Vehicles Vibration damping ADL Sentry radio meet or exceed the MIL-STD 810F standard for vibration (up to 2.6 g). It is always recommended to mount the radio with rubber dampers. Avoid introducing vibration and tension into the data/power connector at bottom of radio. Consider supporting the data/power cable with a rubber-padded clamp. -

Page 25: Antenna
Antenna All Pacific Crest ADL radios use a TNC female antenna connector. While you may attach an antenna directly to the radio, range will be greatly improved if you elevate the antenna as high as possible. Pacific Crest makes antenna cables in a variety of lengths. These terminate in industry-standard NMO or N-type connectors. -
