2 Installation ¼ Note: The Halo Radar is factory sealed. Removing the cover will void the factory warranty. ¼ Note: If replacing an already installed Broadband 3G/4G Radar, refer to "Replacing a Broadband 3G/4G Radar" on page 22. Wiring guidelines Safely pulling the interconnection cable • Connect a mouse line to the outer jacket of the radar interconnection cable so that the strain of pulling is transferred to the stronger outer jacket of the cable. Use some small cable ties to secure the mouse line to the outer jacket as well if there is sufficient clearance. • Tape the conductors and tape the RJ45 connector to the mouse line so that it does not get caught and bent backwards. BAB  AC B B  A Mouse line B Electrical tape C Cable tie Do: • make drip and service loops • use cable-ties on all cables to keep them secure • solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables • use the appropriate length of ready-made interconnection cable • leave room adjacent to device to ease plugging and unplugging of connectors Do not: • make sharp bends in the cables • run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors • run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or high frequency signal cables • run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems • run cables over sharp edges or burrs • attach a mouse line directly to the Ethernet cable or connector ! Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur. ! Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to (+) DC with the supplied fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse rating). Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the unit. 8 | Installation | Halo20, 20+ and 24 Dome Radars Installation Manual
