NRT/NRM INSTALLATION
The following section describes the NRT/NRM installation procedure, using Model 2001-
811 as an example. The installation process is similar for all models.
7.1
NRT/NRM Installation Kit
The NRT/NRM installation kit supplied by Neon may include the following:
•
GPRS NRT/NRM Model 2001-811
•
Weatherproof enclosure Model 2701B
•
Field termination strip Model 2103B
NRT/NRM pole mounting kit.
An optional whip antenna is available for areas of low signal-strength.
Required Equipment
The following equipment will be required for field installation of the NRT/NRM:
•
Laptop computer with the STARLOG 4 application installed.
•
Serial cable (for laptop communications).
•
Tools - Philips screwdrivers, wire cutters, power/ cordless driver, wire-crimping tool,
cable ties.
•
A mobile phone on the same carrier network as the NRT/NRM is recommended, as
this can be a useful signal strength testing tool.
•
The NRT/NRM PIN# required for field commissioning of the NRT/NRM.
•
NRT/NRM enclosure mounting equipment. (If the Pole Mounting Kit is not going to
be used).
7.2
SIM Card Recommendations
It is highly recommended that the SIM is installed in the NRT/NRM before going to site.
Refer to sections 9.0 and 10.0 for detailed SIM setup installation.
It is also recommended that the contents of the NRT/NRM installation kit are checked, and
that the NRT/NRM is tested and confirmed as working before going to site. Even if
wireless communication cannot be verified (for example due to coverage issues), the
NRT/NRM can still be checked to ensure it has a battery and is powered on, and that
communication with a laptop computer is possible.
Note that high signal strength for the NRT/NRM will minimise current drain – and prolong
battery life.
