SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
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 spring 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 or B+ supply)
