Silent Sentinel

Standard Installation and Operation Manual
INSTALLATION
Installation Guidelines
Inspection
Please examine your Silence Sentinel
®
Standard for any damage that may have been
sustained during shipping. If any is noted, please notify the shipper immediately and
retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package should contain the
Silence Sentinel
®
Standard and +/- 15 volt DC @ 400 ma wall universal switching
(PS-1515) power supply with domestic power plug. Manuals may be downloaded
from our web site.
Mounting
Mount the Silence Sentinel
®
Standard where it will be visible and rear panel acces-
sible. The Silence Sentinel
®
Standard may be set on a desktop, mounted on a wall or
optional RA-1 rack shelf for mounting up to three units using supplied hardware.
Surge Protection
The Silence Sentinel® Standard has built-in resistance to voltage changes; we rec-
ommend that you use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC
line. Lightning strikes and/or other high voltage surges may damage your Silence
Sentinel® Standard and connected equipment if it is not properly protected. For
lightning protection devices, check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.
UPS Standby Power System
We recommend that you connect your Silence Sentinel® Standard to a UPS system.
A UPS helps minimize the risk to the Silence Sentinel® Standard and provides
power during a power outage.
POWER: +/- 15 VDC power connector
Connect the 3-pin AMP-style latching power connector to the unit and the +/-15
VDC switching power supply with domestic connector into a 120 Vac 50-60 Hz
power source. Never use any type of power supply other than the specified/supplied
(PS-1515) power supply.
Cable Preparation
The Silence Sentinel® Standard interfaces to external equipment through removable
euroblock screw terminals. The terminals accommodate wire sizes from 16 - 28
AWG solid or stranded wire. Before installing a wire, remove the euroblock screw
terminal plug and turn each capture screw fully counterclockwise. Strip each con-
ductor to a length of 0.25” and insert the conductor fully into the terminal. Turn the
capture screw fully clockwise to secure the conductor. Verify that no bare wires are
exposed.
CAUTION!
Installation of the
Silence Sentinel®
Standard in high RF
environments should be
performed with care.
The station ground
should be connected to
the designated “Chs
Gnd” ground terminal.
