SuperBus® 2000 Commercial RF Transceiver Module
Installation
For power wiring refer to Table 1 in the Advent Panel
Installation Instructions for maximum wire length rec-
ommendations. If the maximum recommended wire
length from Table 1 must be exceeded, a remote DC
power supply will be required. When using a remote
power supply, the power and ground connections of
panel and remote supplies must remain isolated and the
power supply output must be isolated from earth
ground. Do not connect panel and remote power sup-
plies together.
R Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring,
including furnace and utility rooms. If unavoidable,
mount on or near metal with the antennas extending
above the metallic surfaces, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Mounting on or Near Metal
Installation
The transceiver can be mounted on any interior wall (pro-
tected from the elements).
To prepare for mounting (all case versions):
1/"
You must be free of static electricity before
handling circuit boards. Wear a grounding strap
or touch a grounded bare metal surface to dis-
charge static electricity.
Ìi
If possible, temporarily mount, connect, and test the
RF transceiver at the desired location to evaluate per-
formance in the particular environment.
R Disconnect the panel backup battery and turn off power
to the AC power transformer.
Installing the Plastic Case Module
To mount the plastic case transceiver:
Figure 3. Removing the Plastic Cover
1.
Remove the transceiver cover and the circuit card and
set them aside (see Figure 3).
2.
Hold the base against the mounting surface and mark
the four mounting holes (see Figure 4). Remember to
leave at least 10 inches
above the base for the anten-
nas.
3.
Drill holes and insert appropriate anchors.
4.
Secure the back plate to the wall with panhead screws.
5.
Snap the circuit card back into the backplate.
Figure 4. Mounting Holes
To install the antennas:
1.
Loosen the inside terminals of the left and right
antenna terminal blocks (see Figure 1).
2.
Insert an antenna into each inside terminal.
3.
Tighten the antenna terminal screws.
Installing the Metal Case Module
To mount the metal case transceiver:
1.
Remove the metal case cover and transceiver circuit
card, and set them aside.
2.
Hold the case against the mounting surface and mark
the four [larger] mounting holes. Remember to leave at
least 10 inches
above the case for the antennas.
3.
Drill the mounting holes in the wall and insert the
appropriate anchors.
4.
Remove case wiring knockouts as necessary.
5.
Secure the case to the wall with panhead screws.
6.
Snap the included 1/4 inch plastic spacers into the back
of the circuit board as shown in Figure 5.
7.
Snap the circuit board into the case (see Figure 6).
