Installing the Wireless Controller Transceiver
The following procedure describes how to install the EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems
Wireless Controller transceiver module and connect the transceiver cable to the COM port on the
motherboard. Read through the installation procedure before starting.
EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems Wireless Controller kit
The EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 Control Systems wireless control panel kit consists of:
• EasyTouch PL4/PSL4 wireless control panel
• Four AA-size alkaline batteries
• Transceiver module
• Four plastic anchors and retaining screws (to mount the transceiver module)
Mounting the Wireless Transceiver
The Transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached antenna that communicates to and from
The Transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached antenna that communicates to and from
the control system via the wireless hand-held wireless control panel. Mount the Transceiver module
at a convenience location (on a flat vertical surface) near the Power Center, at a minimum of 5 ft.
above ground level to optimize the functional operating range of the wireless control panel.
Note:
To avoid signal interference, mount the Transceiver antenna a minimum of
10 ft. away from the Power Center, any metal surface/structure, or air blower located in the
immediate area of the equipment pad.
To mount the transceiver near the IntelliCenter Control System Load Center:
1.
Switch OFF the main power off to the Power Center.
2. Remove the two retaining screws securing the transceiver case to the back plate. Carefully
slide the case off the back plate.
3.
CAUTION
-
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Hold the circuit board from the edges.
Do not touch the board components, electrostatic discharge can damage the board.
Slide the transceiver circuit board up and out of the back plate.
4. Position the back plate against the mounting surface so that the case is oriented in
an upright position (with the antenna pointing upwards). Use a pencil to mark the four
mounting points. Drill four 3/16 in. diameter holes into the mounting surface. If screws are
not being used, insert the four plastic wall anchors (provided in the kit).
5. Feed the provided 10 ft. of UL approved four 22 AWG conductor cable through the
knockout hole at the bottom of the enclosure. Do not run wire through the drain holes. If
the knockout hole is not being used to run wire through, drill a hole through the bottom of
the back plate, route the wire through the hole and seal it using a fitting with a few feet of
conduit or some other sealant between the case and the cable.
