9. RF Module Option
The RF module allows wireless communication
between the display units and the network
collector without having to run wires.
Things to consider before installation:
• Never route any communication wires
parallel to a high voltage power line. Power
lines will create noise and cause
interference with the signal. If a
communication wire must cross a power
line, always cross them at a 90° angle.
• For maximum reception, RF modules
should be mounted with a clear line of sight
between them. Tall structures that obstruct
the line of sight between RF modules
reduce the strength of the signal.
(See Possible RF Layouts in Figure 9F on
Page 32.)
• For maximum reception, RF Modules
should be mounted to outside of buildings.
Mount RF modules high enough for clear
line of sight, but lower than the top of the
bin or building. When mounting to a
building use a 2 x 6 piece of
treated lumber.
• RF Modules must be mounted vertically
within one mile of each other.
• Know that other equipment using RF
signals can interfere with communication.
Mount RF Module to Bin Leg
1. Slide RF module mounting bracket onto bin leg.
2. Attach to bin using 3/8" x 1-1/2" HHCS bolt
and hex nylock nuts. No drilling is required.
3. Slide RF module onto mounting bracket
threaded studs and attach using the (4) #10
nuts provided.
NOTE: RF modules should always be mounted
vertically, so the antenna is at the top.
Also, it should have a clear line of sight to
the RF module connected to the
network collector.
