7.4.2 Modem Power Connections
A power cable is included with the modem and is used to connect the RV50 to
the datalogger
12V
terminal. Connection to the switched 12V (
SW12V
)
terminal or a control port terminal allows the datalogger to switch power to the
modem during scheduled transmission intervals. See Appendix
A
,
Controlling
Power to the
RV50
(p. A-1)
, for
SW12V
program examples. Connect the red
and
white lead wires to
12V
for constant power, the red to
12V
and white to
SW12V
or a control port for program-controlled power, and the black lead to
G
(ground). The green wire lead is not necessary and can be removed or
insulated. See TABLE
7-1
.
When using the
SW12V
terminal, the modem can typically be powered with a
BP12 battery, a CH150 charger/regulator, and a SP10 solar panel.

Antenna diversity, also called space diversity, is a scheme that uses two or
more antennas to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link. Often,
especially in urban and indoor environments, there is no clear line of sight
between transmitter and receiver. Instead the signal is reflected along multiple
paths before finally being received. Each bounce can introduce phase shifts,
time delays, attenuations, and distortions that can destructively interfere with
one another at the aperture of the receiving antenna.
