SET UP AND INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
The Model 1708/1716 may be wall-mounted or mounted within a standard industrial
enclosure. See the Model 1700 series enclosure outline (024-0057, page 60) and instructions
(024-0056, page 61) for details on mounting the unit.
Power Connection
The power connection is made on the same connector as the radio connections. The RTU
operates from 10.5-16 V
dc
. Since it requires less than 150 mA, the radio power supply (if it
provides 10.5-16 V
dc
) is often used to power the RTU. A 12-volt sealed lead acid battery
(Gel Cell) can be used with a 12-volt power supply to power the radio and RTU and to
provide back-up operating power in case of a main power failure.
System Grounding
To prevent static discharge from affecting the system, the chassis ground must be connected
to the earth ground. See the instructions (024-0056) on page 61 for the location of the chassis
ground post provided.
CAUTION
The chassis ground must be connected to the earth ground using the field
wiring.
