INSTALLATION
SATEL Proof radio can be installed to any position from its 4 screw attachment points with
maximum of M5 bolts/screws.
SATEL Proof is waterproof fulfilling IP67 and IP69K specifications. Note that the antenna must
be installed properly and Deutsch DT connector cable counterpart must have a gasket installed
to properly seal the connection in order to reach the IP ratings.
Avoid installations to vibrating surfaces, hot places, directly to sunlight or under water. Avoid
abrasion and impacts. Protect the cables and antennas placing them away from damaging
elements. Keep the antenna in open space and away from interference.
Antenna is installed either directly to the TNC connector or by using antenna cable. By using a
good quality RF-cable and keeping the distance to its shortest will minimize the signal losses.
The following points must be taken into account when installing and configuring a radio
modem:
•
All operating voltages of all the equipment concerned must always be switched OFF
before connecting the serial interface cable.
•
To ensure reliable operation the voltage output of the power supply must be stable
enough and the current capability of the power supply must be sufficient.
•
The antenna must be installed according to instructions.
•
Serial interface settings between the radio modem and the terminal unit must
correspond to each other.
•
All radio modems in the same system must be configured using same radio related
settings (radio frequency, channel spacing, etc).
•
Check the instructions of grounding the modem on chapter
Grounding.
NOTE!
It is not recommended to install the radio modem on a strongly vibrating surface. Suitable
dampening and/or isolation materials should be used in cases where the installation surface
will be subjected to vibration.
NOTE!
Do not expose the device to solvents or fuels/oils.
