INSTRUCTION SHEET
PRNR-1600 PULSE RADIO RECEIVER
MOUNTING POSITION -
(See Note Below on Cable Connection before mounting) The PRNR-1600 Receiver/Antenna unit
should be mounted in an upright position so that the cable is located on the bottom of the unit. Mount the unit as high as
necessary (14' min.) to guarantee LINE-OF-SIGHT with the PRNT-1600 Transmitter/Antenna unit. Mount using the aluminum
mounting bracket supplied, making sure that the antenna of the receiver is at least 6.1" away from any metal object such as a
pole or metal building. Make sure that no metal mounting hardware is placed above the bottom of the receiver unit case.
CABLE CONNECTION TO PRNR-1600 -
Perform this task in a convenient, clean work area before mounting the Receiver unit.
Connect the 8-conductor (4-twisted pairs) shielded control cable to the 9-position connector on the PRNR-1600 PCBA. (See
page 14) Access the PCB Assembly by unscrewing the housing cap on the bottom of the unit. Remove the board assembly from
the housing. Feed the control cable into the housing's weather-tight connector on the cap so that there is approximately 12" of
cable through the cap. Tighten weather-tight cable fitting so that the cable is not quite tight and easily slides back and forth.
Strip approximately 2" of the control cable's outer jacket to expose the individual conductors, being careful not to cut the
insulation of the conductors or any strands of the shield's drain wire. Strip the insulation of each conductor back 1/4". Connect
each conductor of the cable to the 9-position connector TB1 using a small flat-blade screwdriver or other similar tool to open the
spring-loaded connector as shown above in Figure 2. Press down on the connector lever, slip wire into hole and release. When
all conductors are attached, attach the cable tie(ty-rap) included through the PCBA's holes and tighten the control cable down,
leaving about 1/4" of jacket above the ty-rap so as to provide adequate strain relief for the cable connections. Pull the cable back
through the cap and weather-tight connector and place the PCB Assembly back into the cap's slots. Tighten the weather-tight
connector (cable gland, if used) to secure the assembly in place. Rotate the board until it is perpendicular with the transmitter,
making sure that the Antenna is 6.1" away from any metalic mounting surface. Put the ring spacer over the Cap's threads and
tighten the cap until spacer is finger tight. For best results, keep the distance between the Receiver and the Base Unit to the
minimum practical distance. When PCBA installation is complete, secure cap to mounting bracket using sheet metal screw in
slot.
