• Uses a 3-wire connection. The "white" wire must be connected to B+
• Power cable is included with the Guardian.
• Power cable PN 897-5008-010
• Power input: 10-30 VDC at 60 watts maximum.
- Interface connections
o DL-3400 uses a 10-pin ribbon cable connector
o DL-3400 user interface cable adapts from a 10-pin ribbon connection to spade-lug terminations, PN 023-3410-109
o Guardian uses an 8-pin User Interface Port connector
• Connector is included with the Guardian
• Connector is PN 415-1001-208
• Wires (28 AWG minimum, 18 AWG maximum) can be inserted into the connector block using a 2.5 mm
Insertion Tool (CalAmp PN 250-5006-001) or by using a small screwdriver
- Mechanical footprint
o The DL-3400 and the Guardian do not have the same mechanical footprint.
o Reference Chassis Dimensions, earlier in this user manual, which shows the mechanical layout of the Guardian.
o See page 7 section 1.4.7 Figure 5 for Chassis Dimensions.
- Programming
o The Guardian uses programming software unique to the Guardian.
o The Guardian programming cable is simply a standard DE-9 to DE-9 straight-through serial cable and no longer
requires unique cabling.
o Programming cable is CalAmp PN 697-4008-408.
o Programming software allows a choice between Modem mode and Loader mode. Loader mode is the analog
equivalent to the DL-3400.
PROGRAMMING AND SETUP
Programming of the DL-3400 and Guardian is done using unique FPS for each transceiver. Since both transceivers are
transparent in their operation with the application there is no need to be concerned about Master and Remote
configuration.
The first step in adding a Guardian into an existing system is to read the parameters of the DL-3400. Log parameter
settings so that a thorough record is available for programming the Guardian. See the following figures.
