Mounting The transceiver is designed for mounting on a wall or pole. RC4 Wireless recommends that the transceiver not be rack mounted. The transceiver should be positioned with the RP-SMA antenna connector at the top, and the hinges for the cover on the left.
The RC5 EASS IP65 transceiver uses a fully isolated Class 2 power supply module. The class 2 power supply is internationally safety certified* for AC voltage input within the range of 100VAC to 240VAC. No manual selection of input voltage is required.
Data Cabling Power supply ground is NOT connected to data ground within the RC5 EASS IP65 transceiver. A connection screw for an AC power ground wire is provided, which affects only the area surrounding the power supply section of the circuit board, outlined with white lines on the circuit board.
What is Supplied Each RC5 EASS IP65 device is shipped with: ● Main enclosure, which includes: ○ Main RC5 transceiver circuit board ○ Board-mounted internationally certified Class 2 power supply ○ RP-SMA antenna connection ○ 2-conductor Wago connector for AC power connections (pre-attached to internal power supply input wires) ○...
Caution: When enlarging gland holes, be sure to remove ALL resulting debris from the RC5 EASS IP65 enclosure when done. Avoid contaminating the RC5 enclosure with metal particles on drill bits and other tools.
Wago connector. Follow instructions and procedures provided by Wago for part number 222-412. Keep internal AC wiring short and neat, without excess length within the RC5 EASS IP65 enclosure. Cable-tie the incoming AC wiring to the Class 2 power supply wiring in a position that ensures the Wago connector remains below the power supply, within the power wiring area outlined by white lines on the circuit board.
Data Cable Connection E nsure that data cabling is kept separate from AC power wiring and the two cannot come Important: in contact with each other. Remove only as much sheathing and insulation from data cable conductors as needed to make connections without difficulty.
and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The RC5 EASS IP65 cannot be operated without an antenna attached to the RP-SMA connector at the top of the enclosure. Caution: ONLY approved 900MHz antennas may be used with RC5 EASS IP65 transceivers.
PC and Mac. Software can be downloaded from: https://www.rc4wireless.com/download/ Remote configuration requires an RC5 device to be connected to the computer running the software. If you do not have an RC5 Dongle device and associated instructions, contact RC4 Wireless for additional assistance.
Otherwise, if wired DMX data is present at the DMX data cable connections, the transceiver will behave as a transmitter and broadcast wireless DMX data to receivers. Contact RC4 Wireless Your satisfaction is very important to us. Do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
