INSTRUCTION SHEET
PRNT-1600 PULSE RADIO TRANSMITTER
MOUNTING POSITION -
(See Note Below on Cable Connection before mounting) The PRNT-1600 Transmitter/
Antenna unit should be mounted in an upright position so that the cable is located on the bottom of the unit. Mount
the unit as high as necessary to guarantee LINE-OF-SIGHT with the PRNR-1600 Receiver/Antenna unit. Mount
using the aluminum mounting bracket supplied, making sure that the center of the transmitter is at least 6.1" away
from any metal object such as a pole or metal building. Make sure that no metal mounting hardware is placed
above the bottom of the PRNT-1600 Transmitter/Antenna unit case.
CABLE CONNECTION TO PRNT-1600 -
It is advisable that this task is performed, if possible, in a convenient, clean
work area before mounting the Transmitter unit. Connect the 4-twisted pair 24AWG(min) shielded control cable to
the 9-position connector on the PRNT-1600 Board. Access the PCB Assembly by unscrewing the Transmitter
housing cap on the bottom of the unit. Remove the Transmitter assembly from the housing. Feed the control cable
into the housing's weather-tight connector on the cap so that there is approximately 12" of cable through the cap.
Tighten the weather-tight cable fitting so that the cable is not quite tight and easily slides back and forth. Alternately,
non-metalic conduit ("Seal-Tight" or "Carflex") may be used to connect directly to the housing and run the control
cable to the Base unit inside this conduit.
Strip approximately 2" of the control cable's outer jacket to expose the individual conductors, being careful not to cut
the insulation of the conductors or any strands of the shield's drain wire. Strip the insulation of each conductor back
1/4". Connect each conductor of the cable to the 9-position connector TB1 using a small flat-blade screwdriver or
other similar tool to open the spring-loaded connector as shown above in Figure 2. Press down on connector lever,
slip wire into hole and release. When all conductors are attached, attach a cable tie (ty-rap) through the Transmitter
PCB Assembly's holes and tighten the control cable down, leaving about 1/4" of jacket above the ty-rap so as to
provide adequate strain relief for the cable connections. Pull the cable back through the cap and weather-tight
connector and place the Transmitter PCB Assembly back into the cap's slots. Tighten the weather-tight connector to
secure the assembly in place. Put the ring spacer over the Cap's threads and insert the Transmitter Assembly into the
housing. Tighten the cap until spacer is tight. For best results, keep the length between the Transmitter and the Base
Unit to the minimum practical distance. When Transmitter installation is complete, secure cap to mounting bracket
using sheet metal screw in slot.
