Attach the serial communication cable to the
radio modem’s serial port and the PC’s serial
port.
Modern PC’s don’t typically have a serial
port. If necessary, install a serial card (StarTech
16950 UART card is preferred) or use a USB to
RS232 adapter (P/N 990-0238).
•
Install Jerome Monitor Software (JMS) to monitor the 651 instrument(s). See
JEROME MONITOR SOFTWARE (JMS) INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION NOTES:
•
If the base station antenna cannot be located in the
‘line-of-sight’ of a 651 or the 651
is out of range, a repeater can be used. If the 651 cannot be located within range of
the base station, the Jerome 651 can run remotely and store up to 50,000 readings.
•
If an outdoor antenna is used on the base station:
➢
Connect an appropriate cable between the radio modem and the lightning
arrestor. Refer to
for information on the different
available cables.
➢
Next, connect an appropriate cable from the lightning arrestor to the outdoor
antenna. See the diagram on the next page for an example setup.
➢
The lightning arrestor must be grounded to provide protection
. Use the
Grounding Strap to ground the lightning arrestor to a metal water pipe running
into the ground, grounding spike, or other appropriate means using #6 gauge
bare copper wire. (Follow national/local codes). See the pictures on the
following pages for assistance configuring the Grounding Strap.
➢
For additional protection, install a lightning rod as well to protect the system.
