Mounting
The RXT-300 wireless transceiver should be vertically oriented and mounted to an explosion-proof enclosure
or junction box. The J-Box contains the optional Model 100 Terminal Board. If a battery pack is used,
Detcon’s custom J-Box is needed to accommodate both the terminal board and the battery pack plus a T-Outlet
box with a drain is required (See Figure 9). The RXT-300 wireless transceiver assembly is typically mounted
on a wall or pole.
Obstacles between RXT transceivers can impact RF line-of-sight and may result in communication problems.
Each transceiver should be in view of at least one other transceiver. In some cases, it may be necessary to
extend and elevate the RXT transceiver away from the J-Box/device assembly. Refer to section 2.2.1 for such
remote mounting applications
Detcon offers an optional mounting plate that can be used for mounting the wireless transceiver assembly on a
wall or pole. If ordered with this option, secure the wireless transceiver assembly to the mounting plate using
two of the four 3/8” diameter holes located on the top face of the mounting plate (If not already done so from
the factory). The whole assembly can now be mounted on a secure wall using the four 7/16” diameter holes
located on the base of the mounting plate (See Figure 9). The assembly can also be mounted to a pole with
two U-Bolts secured through the 7/16” holes on the base.
NOTE:
If wall mounting without the mounting plate, make sure to use at least 0.5” spacers
underneath the J-Box’s 1/4” mounting holes to move the wireless transceiver assembly away
from the wall and allow clearance to the transceiver.
