MODEL 8800-2-4B ADD-ON MODULE

6.1 INTRODUCTION

Model 8800-2-4B (Ethernet compatibility) is an add-on module for the network
supervisor to allow the end user to easily add remote communications and data
download functionality.
Each module comprises a weather proof enclosure 305 × 254 × 152 mm (12" ×
10" × 6") in size, a 7Ah battery, a charger, and the necessary cables to interface
with a GeoNet supervisor.
When an add-on module is paired with a network supervisor, the supervisor is
powered by the rechargeable battery inside the module. The charge level of the
battery can be monitored using the Agent software.

6.2 INSTALLATION

Modules are shipped with the battery unplugged and the fuse distribution board
switch in the off position. To deploy modules, install the batteries and turn the
switch to the ON position. Use the provided black 10-pin to 10-pin connecting
cable to connect the module to the supervisor.
Install D-cell batteries in the supervisor and move the battery switch to the
appropriate battery setting to ensure communication between the supervisor
and the nodes will not be interrupted if the battery level drops.
