Data/Power cable
The radio is connected to a data source using a data/power cable (see below). This cable
is available with different connectors for attaching to a large variety of data sources.
Contact your sales representative for selecting the best cable to meet your needs:
Each data/power cable also connects the radio (and in some cases, the data source) to
external power through an SAE-type connector. Pacific Crest strongly recommends you
use the external battery, which includes an SAE connector. It is sold both separately and
as part of the battery/charger kits.
Serial Port
The ADL Sentry supports one full RS-232 data port on an 8-pin I/O port. This port is
used to receive or transmit data in “data mode.” Attaching the ADL Sentry to a source of
power and a source of data is all you need to do to put Port 1 into “data mode.” Port 1 may
also be used in “command mode” to configure or troubleshoot the radio. To put Port 1 in
“command mode” apply power to the radio and connect it to a PC running ADLCONF
configuration software. Contact Pacific Crest Sales for information on incorporating into
your own software application a set of RS-232 commands for communication with the
ADL Sentry.
Enclosure
The radio enclosure is made from a tough, impact-resistant aluminum alloy. The
enclosure receives an anti-corrosion treatment and is further protected with a chemical-
and scratch-resistant polyurethane coating. Elastomer end caps provide the first level of
shock protection for the internal components. An internal isolation system reduces the
effects of vibration on the radio receiver board.
Antenna connector
The integrated antenna connector provides an industry standard TNC-female RF
connector that is compatible with a wide range of mobile whip antennas. Pacific Crest
also sells cables that connect the radio
to remote antennas.
