RavenXTV CDMA Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
•
Power Supply (see power considerations).
•
Environmental Enclosure— ENC 10/12, ENC 12/14, or ENC 16/18.
4.3 Power Considerations
•
A power cable included with the modem connects to the datalogger's 12 V
or switched 12 V terminal. Connection to the switched 12 V terminal
allows the datalogger to switch power to the modem during scheduled
transmission intervals if desired. Connect the red lead wire to 12 V, and
the black lead to G (ground). The white wire lead has no function and can
be ignored.
•
When using the switched 12 V terminal, the modem can typically be
powered with a BP12 battery, CH100 charger/regulator, and MSX10 solar
panel.
4.4 Automatic Provisioning (Activation)
It is recommended that the modem be provisioned and tested in
the office (assuming there is cellular coverage) rather than in the
field.
NOTE
One of the special features of your RavenXTV is the ability to activate itself
automatically. When you first power on the RavenXTV, it will check to see if
it has been activated with account data. If it finds that it has not yet been
activated, the RavenXTV will attempt to retrieve the account data from the
Verizon network using Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP).
You need to have an account with Verizon before you
attempt automatic activation. If you have not ordered an
account from Verizon for your RavenXTV, it will not
succeed at activating.
CAUTION
a. Attach the antenna to your RavenXTV.
b. Plug the RavenXTV into power.
c. While the LED lights cycle from the outside to the inside, the RavenXTV
is attempting to download its account information. The download process
may take one to two minutes to complete.
Do not move your RavenXTV while it is being
programmed.
CAUTION
d. When the Network lights illuminate, your RavenXTV has successfully
completed OTASP and is registered on the Verizon network.
