operaTIng envIronmenT
The Cell682 should be mounted and operated in a clean, dry environment.
The unit must communicate to the wireless network, so care must be taken
not to install the unit inside a metal cabinet or other location that will
prevent the unit from receiving a radio signal unless the antenna can be
relocated to a location free of obstruction. The unit is microprocessor-con-
trolled and, as a result, should not be installed near devices that generate
strong electromagnetic fields. Such interference is typically generated by
power switching equipment such as motors, contactors, or variable frequen-
cy drives. Where this is unavoidable, mount the unit in a separate, ground-
ed steel enclosure with an external antenna (see Appendix F: Accessories).
A poor operating environment may result in unwanted system resets and/
or system lockup. The temperature range the unit can operate in is -22°F to
140°F (-30°C to 60°C).
WARNING: Attach the antenna before applying power to the Cell682. Never
remove the antenna while the unit is powered on.
actiVating yoUr cell682
Your Cell682 device must be activated on the wireless network before you can send
or receive messages and before any local programming is performed for the first
time.
To activate your Cell682 device, fill out the registration form included with the
package and follow the instructions, or contact your sales representative with the
device serial number.
Your Cell682 is activated when the “In Range” and “Registered” LEDs are lit.
MoUnting the cell682 (neMa-4X hoUsing)
Locate a suitable mounting location for the Cell682 enclosure that provides good
radio reception and convenient wiring to your equipment and power. On the top
and bottom of the housing are mounting tabs to attach the unit to a wall. The
mounting surface should be sturdy enough to support 10 lbs. The unit should be
mounted using four #10-32 bolts where appropriate, or four #10 tapping screws.
(The screw kit for the Cell682 includes (4) #10-32 screws, (4) #10-32 nuts, and
(4) #10 lockwashers). When mounting the unit to a wall, make sure the mounting
screws fully engage a solid member (for example, a stud) of the support structure.
Mount the Cell682 in an upright position so that you can easily connect wires to
the terminal strips. The dimensions of the NEMA-4x enclosure are: 12.1” x 8.0” x
5.5” / 30.7 x 20.3 x 13.9cm. See Figure 1.
