Mounting and AC Power
If the eCDi™ unit is mounted in the Ranger cabinet, it should be mounted near the top
of the cabinet and can be plugged into the power strip in the rear of the transmitter.
Alternately, the eCDi™ can also be mounted in a nearby equipment rack.
2.4.4.2
Transmitter Serial Connection
Connect the serial port labeled “XMTR” on the eCDi™ to J7 on the Main Controller
Board uing the provided 10ft or 50ft serial cable labeled “XMTR” (either cable can be
used depending on where the eCDi™ is mounted).

Exciter Connections
CD-1A Exciter
Connect the provided 10ft or 50ft, 9 pin, serial cable labeled “Exciter” to the serial port
on the eCDi™ labeled “Exciter.” Connect the other end to the RS232 serial port on the
back of the CD-1A exciter (it is the only 9 pin D connector and is labeled Diagnostic
Port on some exciters).
NOTE:
When routing the serial cable to the back of the exciter, make sure to follow the
cable supports and wiring harness to allow the exciters to be pulled completely
out the front to the extent of the rack slides. Cable ties should be used to secure
the serial cable to prevent damage when the exciter is pulled out for service.
APEX Exciters
To connect the eCDi™ to an APEX™ exciter requires a standard ethernet cable (not
cross-over) with RJ-45 connectors on each end. Use the provided 10ft or 50ft ethernet
cable labeled EX1 to connect the exciter ethernet port to the ethernet port on the back of
the eCDi™ labeled EX1 in Figure 2-2.
IMPORTANT:
The IP address and Subnet mask must also be set up in the APEX exciter. See
"2.5 APEX Exciter Setup" on page 2-22
.
NOTE:
When routing the ethernet cable to the back of the exciter, make sure to follow the
cable supports and wiring harness to allow the exciters to be pulled completely
out the front to the extent of the rack slides. Cable ties have been provided to
secure the cables to prevent damage when the exciter is pulled out for service.
