NOTE: It is very important to use attenuation between all units in the
test setup. The amount of attenuation required will depend on
the number of units being tested and the desired signal strength
(RSSI) at each transceiver during the test. In no case should a
signal greater than –30 dBm be applied to any transceiver in
the test setup. A transmit RF power output level of +20 dBm is
recommended. (See “Radio Configuration Menu” on
Page 40.)
2.3 STEP 2—MEASURE & CONNECT
DC POWER
The power applied to transceivers must be within 6–30 Vdc and be
capable of continuously providing a minimum of 11 Watts. (Typical
power consumption is: 800 mA @ 13.8 Vdc (AP) and 600mA @13.8
Vdc (Remote). A power connector with screw-terminals is provided
with each unit. Strip the wire leads to 6 mm (0.25"). Be sure to observe
proper polarity as shown in Figure 2-5 with the positive lead (+) on the
left.
NOTE: It will take about 30 seconds for the AP transceiver to power
up and be ready for operation. The Remote requires approxi-
mately 5 seconds.

The transceiver must be used only with nega-
tive-ground systems. Make sure the polarity of the
power source is correct. The unit is protected from
reverse polarity by an internal diode and fuse.
