Mounting and Installation
The receiver can be mounted by fastening two ¼” bolts through the two mounting holes in the unit’s enclosure. When
mounting, ensure that the receiver is oriented so that the text is reading right and the connector is pointing “down”.
When selecting a mounting point for the receiver, it is recommended that the location require only a minimal length of wir-
ing to connect it to the control panel, that it will be in a visible area where it has good exposure to the operator and that it
is mounted on a surface that is protected from the weather and sustains minimal vibration.
It is also recommended that
the receiver have the best possible line of sight with the transmitter for maximum operating
range.
Power Connections and Wiring
Whenever a power connection is made to an electronic device, it is a good practice to make both the Power (+) and
Ground (-) connections route directly to the battery and avoid connecting the power from the charging side of existing wir-
ing or making use of existing "ACC" or other peripheral connection points.
When proportional voltage outputs are used to operate critical equipment it is good practice to use a separate enable sig-
nal as part of the control circuit. In some cases an application can be designed using an independent enable output for
each proportional output (see wiring diagram). An alternative solution is to use the “Switches to Power with Link” line (see
wiring diagram) to explicitly enable each of the functions that are using proportional voltage control. This will ensure that
under all fault conditions the equipment will be disabled when the link is disabled (e.g.
by hitting E-Stop).
As well, follow-
ing any instance of a fault condition (e.g. output shorted) it is recommended practice to fully cycle the power to
the receiver before restarting the transmitter to ensure that the system is restarted from a known state.
Make sure that wire of sufficient gauge and insulator type is used when connecting the outputs of the receiver to the con-
trol panel. Observe any component manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for proper integration of their prod-
uct. This includes the power ratings and requirements of such components as relays, valves, solenoids, etc.
Be sure to test each of the outputs with a multi-meter prior to connecting the outputs to your end devices. This will ensure
that each output has been programmed to operate in the manner required by each end device.
Filtering and Noise Suppression
Whenever a solenoid or electromagnetic switch is controlled by the receiver, it is a good practice to install a diode across
its terminals to ensure that surges and spikes do not continue back into the circuit. Appropriate 36V Bi-directional Diodes
kits can be ordered under the Eaton part number “AKIT-2492-01”.
Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The FCC and ISC require that the antenna be restricted to that supplied by the manufacturer and approved for use with this product. An op-
tional 0dB coax wire antenna may be supplied. For other antenna options, please contact Eaton Wireless Business Unit.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
When installing the receiver, it is recommended that a “Drip Loop” is formed
with the output cables. By creating a Drip Loop, water from condensation,
rain or wet environments, will drip off of the cable instead of running along the
wire and into the receiver connections or running along the cables into the ma-
chine’s electronic controls.
Using approximately 1 foot (30 cm) of cable create a loop with an approximate
radius of 3-4 inches (8-10 cm). Ensure the loop bottom is lower than the re-
ceiver connectors.
If connecting an external antenna, a Drip Loop radius of approximately 2-3
inches (5—8 cm) can be formed from approximately 8 inches (20 cm) of cable.
