6.3 Installing RF Radio Communication Link
Field Station
IMPORTANT!
Always connect the antenna before powering the 6200 DCP.
This will avoid damaging the radio transceiver.
The standard two-way radio telemetry package includes two 2-watt transceivers (467.8 MHz),
one field radio and one base radio. You are not required to obtain a license for this system. The
field station radio is factory-installed inside the 6200 DCP enclosure. If you have not done so,
install a suitable field antenna. This antenna should be part of the system you ordered. Once you
have mounted the antenna to a tower or other appropriate supporting structure, connect the
antenna cable. Connect one end to the N-type connector on the 6200 DCP and the other to the
base of the antenna, using waterproof connectors. Refer to Appendix E to see a typical
installation.
