Physical Installation
(Note: actual modem has connector on bottom instead of side)
- Mount modem on side of panel using supplied bracket. It can also be mounted on a conduit pipe on the top of the panel.
- Attach cable and route into panel. The cable has 4 wires. An included strain relief bracket is used to keep the connector secure.
- The cable item number is 15624-2504
- Wire the cable to the DCT or EDR as shown in a later section
Cable Pinout
The cable will come with the connector attached, but below is the pinout for reference.
| Modem Pin | Wire Color | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yellow | RS-485A |
| 2 | Blue | RS-485B |
| 3 | Green | Gnd |
| 4 | White | Power |
Wiring to Device
DCT
EDR
Activation and Configuration
If not previously activated, this number from the modem will be needed:
- Make sure DCT or EDR is at the latest version
- After the modem itself is activated, EMIT can send the command to the DCT or EDR remotely to use the satellite modem. Alternately, page 72 can be used to switch to Sat 2 mode.
- The service level should show "5" after everything is complete
- The signal status in the lower left will now show the SAT connection status rather than cell signal strength
- Sending test data or a test callout from page 72 should work the same as if using cell
- Other than for callouts, the satellite will only send once per hour but will include the previous half hour point, so over time there will be data every 30 minutes shown.
