A display that is controlled using a radio requires a Server radio connected to the
control computer, and a Client radio at the display. The radios must be within line-
of-site of each other.
Figure 31
below and Drawing A-185359 show the system layout to the Server radio
through a J-box. The Client is mounted near the display, and it is supplied with 25
feet of weather resistant cable. One end of the cable is pre-terminated to TB1 inside
the radio enclosure, and a quick connect plug is terminated at the other end of the
cable. The quick cable connects to the primary display.

1. Connect the DB9M to DBF serial cable from the computer’s serial port to
the J-box labeled “V1500 PC Connect”. Connect the 18 AWG, 6-conductor

the J-box to the Server cannot exceed 1000 feet. Refer to the Venus 1500
