• Power cable PN 897-5008-010
• Power input: 10-30 VDC at 60 watts maximum.
- Data connection
o T-96SR uses a DE-15 connector
o T-96SR application cable connects from a DE-15 to a DE-9 standard serial connection, PN 697-0000-001.
o Guardian uses a DE-9 standard serial connection and can use standard DE-9 to DE-9 cable, PN 697-4008-408.
o Guardian does not require special application cables like the T-96SR.
• If the T-96SR currently in place is being replaced, there is likely a PN 697-0000-001 cable from the radio to the
PCL/RTU equipment.
• The PN 697-0000-001 cable could be removed and the PCL/RTU can be connected directly to the radio.
• If cable length is an issue, a short DE-9 to DE-9 cable can be added between the PLC/RTU and the Guardian
radio.
- Mechanical footprint
o The T-96SR and the Guardian do not use the same mechanical footprint.
o Reference Chassis Dimensions, earlier in this user manual, which shows the mechanical layout of the Guardian.
o See page 7 section 1.4.7 Figure 5 for Chassis Dimensions.
- Programming
o The Guardian uses programming software unique to the Guardian.
o The Guardian programming cable is simply a standard DE-9 to DE-9 serial cable and no longer requires unique
cabling.
o Guardian programming cable is CalAmp PN 697-4008-408.
PROGRAMMING AND SETUP
Programming of the T-96SR and Guardian is done using unique Field Programming Software (FPS) for each wireless
modem. Since both wireless modems are transparent in their operation with the RTU/PLC there is no need to be
concerned about Master and Remote configurations.
The first step in adding a Guardian into an existing system is to read the parameters of the T-96SR. Log parameter
settings so that a thorough record is available for programming the Guardian. See the following figures.
