Remote Mounting Steps
1. Remove the J-Box cover of the RXT-320 wireless transceiver assembly.
2. If the wireless transceiver assembly has the Smart Battery Pack, unplug the battery pack from the terminal
board by pulling the battery pack out of the junction box.
3. Identify the J1 6-pin phoenix connector and the J8 3-pin phoenix connector on the Model 100 Terminal
Board and disconnect from the board. Remove all transceiver wire connections from the connectors.
Reconnect the 3-pin connector to its corresponding place and save the 6-pin connector for step 13.
4. Use a wrench at the bottom section of the RXT transceiver and unthread the RXT until it can be removed.
5. Feed the RXT transceiver wires through the ¾” NPT hole of the remote T-Outlet box connected to the
remote J-Box and thread the transceiver into the remote T-Outlet box until tight.
6. Remove all 6 of the 4-pin phoenix connectors from the 12-position terminal board in the remote J-Box and
connect the RXT transceiver wires to 3 of the phoenix connectors per the wiring diagram in Figure 11.
Reference Table 2 RXT-320 Transceiver Wire Identification for color code identification.
NOTE: Wires that are not used should be individually capped off and secured out of the way
in the T-Outlet box so that they are not exposed to any active components, power, or ground.
7. Reconnect these 3 phoenix connectors to their corresponding places back on the 12-position terminal
board.
8. Measure out the cable to be used for the extension cable to be no more than 15 feet long. Feed one end of
the cable through a ¾” NPT cord connector (cable gland) and then into the ¾” NPT hole located on the
bottom of the remote J-Box.
9. Connect the cable wires of the extension cable to the remaining three 4-pin phoenix connectors from step 6
per the wiring diagram in Figure 11. Reference Table 1 Extension Cable Wire Identification for color
code identification.
10. Reconnect these 3 remaining phoenix connectors to their corresponding places back on the 12-position
terminal board and thread the ¾” NPT cord connector to the bottom of the remote J-Box.
11. Install the J-Box cover of the remote J-Box.
12. Feed the other end of the cable through another ¾” NPT cord connector and then into the ¾” NPT hole of
the T-Outlet box connected to the J-Box housing the Model 100 Terminal Board.
13. Connect the cable wires to the 6-pin phoenix connector from step 3 per the wiring diagram in Figure 11.
Reference Table 1 Extension Cable Wire Identification for color code identification.
14. Reconnect the 6-pin phoenix connector back to J1 of the Model 100 Terminal Board and thread the ¾”
NPT cord connector to the T-Outlet box.
NOTE: Color coding of the cable will no longer match the color coding on the Model 100
Terminal Board for the J1 connector.
