Installation
This section describes how to install the Verbatim autodialer and how to install
a parallel printer to use the Parallel Printer Local Data Logging feature.
2.1 Location and Mounting
Choose a mounting location which is not exposed to condensing humidity or
temperatures beyond the limits of 20°-130°F. This location should ideally be
within 5 feet of a standard RJ-11 phone jack and a
grounded 120 VAC power
outlet.
1. Mount the Verbatim autodialer on centers of 6" x 11 3/8" using the
external mounting ears on the enclosure. #10 or 3/16" bolt sizes are best.
2. Install the NEMA 4X weatherproof outer enclosure, (optional purchase).
This allows the Verbatim autodialer to be mounted outdoors as long as
temperature limits are not violated. It is best to provide at least an over-
head shelter to minimize direct precipitation and solar heating effects.
3. Install the heater/thermostat for cold or humid environments, (optional
purchase).
The 120 VAC heater dissipates 75 watts, providing a temperature rise of
approximately 30 degrees, or 60 degrees when enclosed in the optional
NEMA 4X enclosure.
2.2 Wiring
Refer to the diagram on page 2-3 for an example of the wiring connections.
1. Inspect and remove any foreign materials which might create short
circuits.
2. Connect the red (positive) battery lead to the positive terminal on the gel-
cell battery.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded 120 VAC outlet .
Or, remove the power cord from the Verbatim autodialer and install well-
grounded 120 VAC power to terminal strip TS3, located on the lower right
of the main circuit board.
Plug the 12 Volt DC power supply into a grounded 120 V AC outlet.
