2 NetworX NX-548E Receiver Installation Instructions 6. Align the bottom of the circuit board in the edge guide standoff and twist the standoff into place (Figure 4). Tighten the mounting screw (Figure 2). Figure 4. Installing the circuit board Antenna shroud Enclosure Mounting The module can be mounted on any interior wall (protected from the elements). To mount the module, do the following: 1. Remove the module back plate from the packaging. 2. Hold the base against the mounting surface and mark the two mounting holes and the wire access hole as shown in Figure 6. Remember to leave at least 10 in. (25 cm) above the back plate for the antennas. Note: The wire access hole is molded into the plastic so that you can access the wire, yet keep it hidden from the back plate. Circuit board Figure 6. Back plate Mounting hole Antenna shroud locations Edge guide standoff External mounting This installation uses enclosure model NX-569 (600-1029-03). The module comes as a kit that is assembled in the field. Use the following installation guidelines: • Allow at least 10 in. (25 cm) of clearance above the enclosure for the antennas. • Use the wire length guidelines in Table 1. Table 1. Wire lengths Maximum wire length between Wire gauge (shielded or unshielded) module and panel 22 AWG (0.65 mm) 250 feet (76 m) 18 AWG (1.02 mm) 500 feet (152 m) • Install the module in its own plastic enclosure. It should not be installed inside the panel's enclosure. • Avoid mounting locations that expose the module to moisture. • Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring including furnace and utility rooms. If unavoidable, mount on or near metal with the antenna extending above the metallic surfaces as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Mounting on or near metal Metal Metal Mounting hole Wire access 3. Drill holes and insert the appropriate anchors (included). 4. Run a 3-conductor, 22 or 18 gauge (0.65 or 1.02 mm) stranded wire cable from the module wire access hole location to the panel (Figure 6). 5. Secure the back plate to the wall with the pan head screws provided. 6. To assemble the antenna shrouds, attach the proper number of sections together, then attach the top cap. 7. Install each antenna shroud on top of the back plate. 8. Remove the transceiver circuit board from the antistatic bag. CAUTION You must be free of static electricity before handling circuit boards. Wear a grounding strap or touch a bare metal surface to discharge static electricity. Tools and supplies needed To complete the installation, you will need the following tools and supplies: • Screwdrivers; • Drill with bits; • Mounting screws and anchors (included); and • 3-conductor, 22-gauge (0.65 mm) or larger, stranded wire.
