It is easy to set up a Guardian network to verify basic unit operation and experiment with
network designs and configurations.
3.1
INSTALL THE ANTENNA
An RX/TX antenna is required for basic operation. For demo units only, connect the antenna
as shown in Figure 3.1 to provide stable radio communications between demo devices.
Figure 3.1 -Demo Antenna Assembly
Note:
It is important to use attenuation between all demo units in the test network to reduce the
amount of signal strength in the test environment.
3.2
MEASURE AND CONNECT PRIMARY POWER
Primary power for the Guardian must be within 10-30 VDC and be capable of providing a
minimum of 10 watt supply for Tx @ 1W, 40 watt supply for Tx @ 5W, or 60 watt supply for
Tx @ 10 W. (In Guardian Demo Kits, a power connector with screw-terminals is provided
with each unit.) Observe proper polarity when connecting the cables to the Power Supply.
(White wire must be connected to red wire.)
3.3
CONNECT GUARDIAN TO PROGRAMMING PC
Connection to a Guardian is established through an RS-232 cable connected to the setup
port of the Guardian and the COM port of the PC
3.4
GUARDIAN FIELD PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Operating characteristics of the Guardian are configured by the Field Programming
Software. Offline Diagnostics and Online Diagnostics give access to Offline Diagnostics and
commands (local and remote) and online diagnostics monitoring (with or without a T-
Base/R). Programming software is Windows® based and requires a Windows 95 or better
operating system. Context sensitive help and printable help files are provided with this
program.
The GUARDIAN requires the use of the Field Programming Software for
configuration, adjustment and diagnostics.
