Mounting Considerations 

For  the  best  throughput,  the  antennas  on  the  TDAS  WET  should  always  have  direct 
line-of-sight with the WAP it will communicate with.  Mounting methods and mounting 

bolt selection should be carefully calculated so as to withstand expected shock loading.  

(See Appendix B for the unit’s mechanical specifications.) 

Temperature Rating 

It  is  extremely  unlikely  that  excessive  heating  (temperatures  in  excess  of  50°C)  will 
ever be an  issue  in real-world testing applications using the TDAS  WET.  Should you 

have any questions about its use in your environment, please contact DTS. 

Using Your TDAS WET with other TDAS Equipment 

Your TDAS WET can be used with TDAS PRO racks, TDAS G5 Vehicle Docking Stations, 

TDAS  PLUS  Distributors,  TDAS  PLUS  Mini  Distributors  and  TDAS  PLUS  Crashworthy 

Batteries.    If  you  are  interconnecting  equipment  to  create  higher  channel-count 
systems, please refer to the specific product manual for that information. 

TDAS PRO racks and TDAS G5 Vehicle Docking Stations 

Communications  to  and  from  the  TDAS  WET  to  racks  or  vehicle  docking  stations 

require  an  RDC  cable.    The  TDAS  WET  can  be  at  either  end  of  the  chain  or  in  the 
middle. 

 

Using  an  RDC  cable,  connect  the end  marked  “MASTER”  to either  COM  port  of 

the rack or vehicle docking station.  Connect the end marked “SLAVE” to either 
COM port on the TDAS WET. 

 

If  the  TDAS  WET  is  in  the  middle  of  the  chain,  use  a  second  RDC  cable  and 
connect  the  end  marked  “MASTER”  to  the  open  COM  port  on  the  TDAS  WET.  

Connect the end marked “SLAVE” to either COM port on the third device in the 

chain.    (This  process  is  the  same  for  all  interconnections  between  TDAS 
equipment having two COM ports; all equipment in the middle of the chain have 

both a “MASTER” and “SLAVE” cable end connected.) 

You will need to power the TDAS WET from an external 12 V power source. 

TDAS PLUS Distributor 

Communications to and from the TDAS WET and a TDAS PLUS Distributor require an 

RDC cable.  Note:  Not all TDAS PLUS Distributor configurations include communication 

features. 

 

Using an RDC cable, connect the end marked “MASTER” to an AUXILIARY PORT 

on the TDAS PLUS Distributor.  Connect the cable end marked “SLAVE” to either 
COM port on the TDAS WET. 

 

If  the  TDAS  WET  is  in  the  middle  of  the  chain,  use  a  second  RDC  cable  and 

connect  the  end  marked  “MASTER”  to  the  open  COM  port  on  the  TDAS  WET.  
Connect the end marked “SLAVE” to either COM port on the third device in the 

chain.    (This  process  is  the  same  for  all  interconnections  between  TDAS
