6. Place a work area with a clear table surface near the transmitter. Provide electrostatic
protection measures in the work area.
7. Order any accessories or optional equipment that you may need. Typical requirements
include:
• Tools - soldering iron, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. (see Section 9, “Parts and tools” on
page 9-1 ).
• Test equipment - oscilloscope and digital multimeter.
• Peripheral equipment - PC or laptop, LAN/network connection, etc.
• If you are using a network connection (as opposed to a direct connection with a laptop),
consult with your network administrator to determine whether the VS300’s network
feature will be enabled. If so, determine whether DHCP will be used. DHCP allows
network IP addresses to be assigned automatically. To use DHCP, you must have a visible
DHCP server on your network. If you are not planning to use DHCP (i.e., your network
does not have a DHCP server or you are connecting directly to a laptop), you must
obtain an IP address and netmask from your network administrator as well as gateway
and nameserver(s) as applicable.
8. Terminate the transmitter end of the RF feed line with the appropriate mating connector.
Unless otherwise specified in contract documents, the VS300 will accept an N-type
connector or a 7/16 DIN connector, depending on the option pre-selected by the customer.
9. Implement a safety interlock, if required.
10. Prepare to integrate the VS300 transmitter into your station control circuitry, if required.
11. Train your station technicians and operators on the use and maintenance of the VS300
transmitter.
