A
NTENNA INSTALLATION
Controller mounted antenna (VWG-WA)
All VWG-50 are supplied with a controller-mounted antenna. The
antenna is shipped loose in the controller main packaging box.
This installation type is to be used only when the controller (and
antenna) is not installed inside a closed metal enclosure and that
clear reception is expected.
Gently screw the antenna into the antenna connector at the top of
the VWG. Do not over tight the antenna.
Remote mounted antenna (VWG-RA)
If a remote mounted antenna is required because of the location of
the VWG, a separate antenna can be ordered. Part number VWG-
RA
This installation type can typically be used when the controller is
installed inside a closed metal enclosure.
Gently screw the female connection of the remote antenna into
the VWG. Remote antenna has a weighted magnetic base for
metal surface mounting. Wire length is 1.5 M (4.9 Ft)

Procedure - Initial power up and checkout

2. Apply
Power.
3. Check the Status LEDs.
1) Connect the Backup Battery
With the cover removed from the VWG (see “Removing and Replacing the Cover,”), locate
the red and black wires coming from the backup battery, with 2-position connector plug. Plug
the connector into the battery connector on the bottom board (below option slot 2 area).
The connector is keyed—you cannot insert it incorrectly. The red (positive) connection
should be the furthest from the two 30-pin option modules connectors.
For more details on the backup battery, see “About the Battery”.
