3 SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

It is easy to set up a Guardian network to verify basic unit operation and experiment with network designs and

configurations.

3.1 INSTALL THE ANTENNA

An Rx/Tx antenna is required for basic operation. For demo units only, connect the antenna as shown in the following

figure to provide stable radio communications between demo devices.

Figure 10 Demo Antenna Assembly

Note: It is important to use attenuation between all demo units in the test network to reduce the amount of signal

strength in the test environment.

3.2 MEASURE AND CONNECT PRIMARY POWER

Primary power for the Guardian must be within 10-30 VDC and be capable of providing a minimum of 10 watt supply

for the Tx at 1 W, 40 watt supply for Tx at 5 W, or 60 watt supply for Tx at 10 W. (In Guardian Demo Kits, a power

supply with spring terminals is provided with each unit.) Observe proper polarity when connecting the cables to the

power supply. (White wire must be connected to red wire or B+ supply.)

3.3 INSERTING WIRES INTO USER PORT CONNECTOR

1. Insert 2.5 mm Insertion Tool (CalAmp PN 250-5006-001) into the wire-release slot. Do not twist the Insertion Tool.
