Note: When inserting stripped conductor wires into the terminal blocks, be sure
to connect them to the VW terminal blocks.

2.4.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MCNs are protected from environmental contaminants by a rugged IP66 die
cast aluminum enclosure. An earth ground terminal is provided on the exterior of
the enclosure to protect against lightning and other large, transient voltages.
MCNs ship with the following accessories:
■
One omni-directional antenna (2.1 dBi). For other antenna options, please
contact
GEOKON
technical support.
■
Two D cell alkaline batteries
■
Four desiccant packs
2.5 ADDRESSABLE SENSOR NODES
Addressable sensor nodes (ADRs) will read any
GEOKON
RS-485 addressable
sensor, such as the 6150F Addressable MEMS string. Like other nodes, the
addressable node uses gauge cables that have stripped conductor wires. The
cables pass through external cable glands and are wired into the terminal block.
Though designed to send data wirelessly to a Supervisor, these models also
feature a USB connector for transferring data using a USB cable to a PC running
Agent software or other Modbus RTU client.
