DMR-200C Cable
Although SkyWave ships the DMR-200C with a mating connector, the SkyWave Solution Provider may provide
a DMR-200C cable instead. If a DMR-200C cable is not provided with the DMR-200C, consult your Solution
Provider as the instructions for properly building this cable are beyond the scope of this manual.
The DMR-200C is designed to accept input ranges of 9VDC to 30VDC. All cables should be less than 30m
and they should be built with the following guidelines for minimum wire size based on voltage supplied to
terminal.
Input Voltage
Minimum Wire Gauge
9 to 18 VDC
18 AWG
18 to 30 VDC
22 AWG
Cable used for power and data connections to the terminal must be shielded for reliable operation.
Safety Warning !!
The DMR-200C is typically installed on a mobile platform. It is therefore imperative that the installation
is performed in a safe and secure manner in order to avoid hazards to person and property. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the installation is safe and secure.
Installation Steps
Recording Serial Number
The DMR-200C’s serial number is located in three places: a label on the bottom of the terminal, a label on the
original SkyWave packaging box and electronically inside the terminal. The serial number is the DCC004
number followed by six hexadecimal digits.
This number is a unique identifier for the terminal. This number should be recorded before the terminal is
mounted.
You will need it later for commissioning the terminal on the satellite network.
Selection of Mounting Location
The most important part of any installation is making sure the DMR-200C is securely fastened in a location
where it will have a clear and unobstructed view of the satellite. For a mobile installation, this generally means
an installation location at the highest point on the vehicle where there is no obstruction in any direction.
Mount the terminal so that it has an unobstructed view to within 20 degrees of the mounting surface. This
means that the terminal should be located at least two (2) meters from all objects taller than 0.5 meters.
