    Low-Loss RG-8 (Belden 9913 type) coax cable is supplied with appropriate “N- Type” connectors for maximum performance. For NFPA 72 compliance the RG8 Coax must be physically protected in conduit between the antenna and the 7170’s enclosure. E. Surge Suppressor(s): A device installed in the coaxial transmission line to help protect components and structure against surges like those produced by lightning.
  • Page 6: Safety Considerations

    2.0 Safety Considerations: The following items are safety related precautions that you should take into consideration when installing your AES IntelliNet system. They are for your safety as well as others and the safety of your equipment. • Use caution when installing antennas to keep them away from electrical wires which could cause serious injury or death if antenna makes contact with live wires.
  • Page 7: Installation And Equipment Separation

    5.0 Installation and Equipment Separation: The IP-Link Transceiver installation site is a critical element of the AES IntelliNet network. Every installation is unique, taking into account structure, geography and other factors. This section covers elements of the system installation and operation. Read the entire document before proceeding with your installation.

    The following instructions assume the IP-Link is unpowered. 1. Confirm that an RS 232 Cable is connected between the serial input of the 7170 “Console” and the COM port of your PC running a terminal program. 2. Confirm that the RJ45 Ethernet Cable is connected (or ready to be connected) between your LAN or WAN Network and the Ethernet jack on the IP-Link Transceiver.
