3.3 INSTALLATION
1. Determine the location of your antenna from Figures 01-03 (the antenna is designated
with the red arrow).
Be sure to mount the receiver antenna in direct line-of-sight
of the operator and free from all obstructions.
2. Do not mount the receiver near high levels of electric noise, such as an unshielded
variable frequency drive, as it may cause minor interference. When mounting the
CAN-6 near an unshielded variable frequency drive,
Magnetek typically
recommends that the CAN-6 and all antenna cable routing be mounted a
minimum of 24 inches from all unshielded variable frequency drives and
cables
.
3. Allow adequate room for mounting the receiver. Make sure to allow a minimum of 5”
between the connector and the nearest surface to allow for cable harness
connections.
4. For best reception and to help protect connectors from moisture and water damage,
mount the receiver in an upright position.
5. If obstructions cannot be cleared, or the unit must be mounted inside a metal
enclosure, the remote antenna should be used (see Figure 01).
6. Do not enclose the antenna in steel. For best reception, keep all metal objects away
from the antenna.
Consult the factory for more information regarding your
application.
7.
The supply power to the CAN-6 system must have a master disconnect and should be
fused.
NOTE: Magnetek strongly recommends the use of external fuses and circuit disconnects
for all CAN-6 Receivers. Consult factory for more information.
3.4
REMOVAL OF CAN-6 FROM HOUSING
Rarely, it might be necessary to access the internal circuit board on the receiver to adjust
settings or change the radio channel.
To remove the CAN-6 receiver from the housing, first remove power from the CAN-6
receiver by turning off the master disconnect. Remove the connectors from the bottom of
the receiver by squeezing in the release tabs on both sides of the connector. The bottom
connector plate with the internal circuit board is removed by inserting a flat screwdriver
into the top slots for the two side release tabs and giving a gentle twist. After releasing
both sides one at a time, wiggle the circuit board from the housing side to side. Once the
circuit board is free of the housing, disconnect the external antenna lead from the
connector on the circuit board.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the board from the housing, as the board can
release suddenly while pulling it out of the housing. If enough force is being applied, the
external antenna lead can be pulled off the board, causing damage.
After making the necessary setting adjustments using the dip switches, re-install the
bottom connector plate with the internal circuit board by first reconnecting the external
antenna lead to the connector on the circuit board. Then slide the board and connector
plate into the housing and press firmly to fully seat the bottom connector plate onto the
housing.
