2.3 Installation
This section provides instructions for the installation of the L-854 Radio Control Equipment.
Refer to the project plans and specifications for the specific installation instructions.
2.3.1 Unpacking
The equipment must be handled carefully to prevent component damage. Unpack the carton
upon receipt and check the contents and their condition. Note any exterior damage to the
carton that might lead to detection of equipment damage.
If you find any damage to equipment, file a claim form with the carrier immediately.
Inspection of equipment by the carrier may be necessary.
2.3.2 Installing L-854
Radio Control Equipment
To install the standard L-854 Radio Control Equipment, perform the following procedure:
1. Determine the best location for the Radio Control Equipment.
NOTE:
Radio Control Equipment location should be within 50 feet (15.24 m) of the
antenna and secured to a wall. The standard cabinet (NEMA 4) is rated for an indoor or
outdoor environment. Consideration should be given to locating it out of a traffic area to
reduce or minimize its exposure to unauthorized personnel. Consideration should also be
given to the routing of the antenna lead-in cable, if used. Route it away from heavy
concentrations of electrical wires to reduce interference.
2. Use extreme care when drilling the entrance holes for the power, control and, antenna
wiring. Avoid drilling into the enclosure in such a way as to allow metal filings can fall onto
the electronics or, allowing the drill bit to contact the equipment inside.
3. See Figure 6. Install the radio unit using the four mounting holes.
NOTE:
Use four 1/4 x 1 in.- (6.35 x 25.4 mm-) long lag screws with 1/4 in. flat washers (or
other suitable fasteners) for mounting, or as appropriate for the surface to which the radio
unit is being mounted.
