Mounting the Antenna Using Screws
To mount the antenna using screws:
1.
Center the antenna mounting bracket over the
7/8 in. (22 mm) round bushing.
2.
Using the bracket as a template, drill two 3/32 in.
(2 mm) pilot holes into the enclosure.
3.
Screw the bracket into place using the supplied
self-tapping mounting screws.
Mounting the Antenna Using Recloseable
Fastener Tape (RFT)
When the unit is part of a panel assembly, the package
includes six pieces of RFT. Use this tape between the
antenna bracket and the enclosure. To mount the
antenna using RFT:
1.
Ensure all mounting surfaces are clean and free of
dust, oils, and debris before applying the RFT.
2.
Remove the adhesive backing on two pieces of
RFT and place one piece on the bottom of each
antenna bracket mounting foot.
3.
Affix a mating piece of RFT onto each piece of RFT
on the mounting bracket so that the fasteners
mesh together. Remove the adhesive backing on
the mating pieces.
4.
Center the bracket over the 7/8 in. (22 mm) round
bushing and apply the bracket to the top of the
panel. Push down on the feet of the bracket until
you feel the fasteners lock into position and the
adhesive bonding to the panel is completely
attached.
Note:
Extra pieces of RFT are provided so that you
can change the mounting location on the top of the
panel at a later date if necessary.
Attaching the Antenna to the ZFR1810
Wireless Field Bus Coordinator
To attach the antenna to the ZFR1810 Coordinator:
1.
Remove the top cover of the ZFR1810 Coordinator
by simultaneously pushing in both flexible tabs on
one side of the unit, followed by pushing in the tabs
on the other side of the unit.
2.
Remove the top portion of the unit.
3.
Apply the antenna wire firmly to the connection
point (see Figure 1) until it locks into place.
4.
Replace the top portion and cover of the ZFR1810
Coordinator.

IMPORTANT:
The connection from the antenna
cable to the ZFR1810 Coordinator is intended to be
made only once. Do not remove it once you have
inserted it into the jack. If you must remove the
antenna, disassemble the case of the ZFR1810
Coordinator and remove the antenna from the jack
by pulling on the knurled end of the antenna's
connector only. Pulling on the antenna cable from
anywhere else can result in damage to the antenna.
Avoid any repeat removals and re-insertions as this
may impact wireless connection integrity and unit
performance.
