B.3 9522B Modem Installation

The base station installation should be conducted before proceeding to the field

to conduct the remote station installation. With the base station installed first,

it will provide the opportunity to test the communications from the base station

before going to and/or while still in the field. If there is a malfunction, you

may be able to address the problem without having to return to the remote

station.

The modem installation should employ the following steps:

1. Secure the 30627 mount to the 9522B interface. Secure this assembly in

the enclosure in an appropriate location. Be sure to keep in mind all cable

runs (that is, antenna, power/control, and interface).

2. Connect the ribbon cable of the 9522B interface to the modem. Connect

the other end of the ribbon cable to the COM9522B.

3. Connect the 10873 serial cable (base station) to the data port of the

interface to the PC serial port.

4. For the remote station, connect the 18663 serial cable between the

COM9522B data port and the datalogger, unless using datalogger’s CS I/O

port (refer to FIGURE 1-3).

5. Connect the antenna cable to the “ANT” connector of the modem. Use the

18436 right angle adaptor between the antenna cable and modem to reduce

cable strain.

6. Connect the bare leads of the COM9522B to datalogger and power supply.

Start your connections with the power control leads. Be sure power is off

at the power supply when making these connections.

Once all the items are attached, power can be applied to the modem.
