7. Product Description
7.1 Mounting
The mounting holes are designed to align with a one-inch-on-center hole
pattern and provide for ridged mounting of the radio in either a vertical or
horizontal orientation. #6-32 x 0.375-inch stainless steel Phillips head screws
(pn 505) and nylon grommets (pn 6044) are supplied for securing the radio to
the backplate of a Campbell Scientific enclosure.
7.2 Power
There are three ways the radio may be powered for operation. The radio may
be powered via CS I/O, USB, or the 2.5 mm DC power jack labeled as Power.
The power connector is most commonly used to supply power to the radio
when the radio is used as a standalone PakBus ® router / RF repeater or when
the RS-232 port is used for interconnect with another device. The Field Power
Cable (pn 14291) or AC to DC power adapter (pn 15966) are used for
supplying 12 Vdc to the power connector.
The power connector of the radio uses the inner conductor for positive (+)
voltage and the outer / sleeve conductor for ground (–).
There are many AC adapters available with barrel
connectors that will fit the RF407 series. Damage that
occurs from the use of an AC adapter that is not the 15966
AC to DC power adapter will not be covered by warranty. If
using a different AC adapter, be sure that the adapter’s “no
load” voltage is below the 16 Vdc; measure the output with
a DC voltmeter while the AC adapter is plugged into the
outlet but not powering anything.
7.3 USB
The radio has a USB Type B jack that can be connected to your PC using the
supplied 17648 USB cable. The connection is used for power, configuration,
and data.
