MOUNTING POSITION - (See Note Below on Cable Connection before mounting) The PRT-900 Transmitter/
Antenna unit (Tx) should be mounted in an unright position so that the cable is located on the bottom of the unit.
Mount the unit as high as necessary to guarantee LINE-OF-SIGHT with the PRR-900 Receiver/Antenna unit(Rx).
Make sure that the transmitter is mounted at least 6.25" away from any metal object such as a pole or metal
building. It may be mounted directly to a wooden pole or other non-metalic surface using plastic clamps. Make
sure that no metal mounting hardware is placed above the bottom of the Transmitter case.
CABLE CONNECTION TO PRT-900 - It is advisable that this task is performed, if possible, in a convenient, clean
work area before mounting the Tx unit. Connect the 8-conductor 24AWG(min) shielded control cable to the 9-
position connector on the PRT-900 Tx. Access the PCB Assembly by unscrewing the Tx housing cap on the bottom
of the unit. Remove the Tx assembly from the housing. Feed the control cable into the housing's weather-tight
connector on the cap so that there is approximately 12" of cable through the cap. Tighten weather-tight cable fitting
so that the cable is not quite tight and easily slides back and forth. Strip approximately 2" of the control cable's outer
jacket to expose the individual conductors, being careful not to cut the insulation of the conductors or any strands of
the shield's drain wire. Strip the insulation of each conductor back 1/4". Connect each conductor of the cable to the
9-position connector TB1 using a small flat-blade screwdriver or other similar tool to open the spring-loaded
connector as shown above in Figure 2. Press down on connector lever, slip wire into hole and release. When all
conductors are attached, attach the cable tie(ty-rap) included through the Tx PCB Assembly's holes and tighten the
control cable down, leaving about 1/4" of jacket above the ty-rap so as to provide adequate strain relief for the cable
connections. Pull the cable back through the cap and weather-tight connector and place the Tx PCB Assembly back
into the cap's slots. Tighten the weather-tight connector to secure the assembly in place. Put the ring spacer over the
Cap's threads and insert the Tx Assembly into the housing. Tighten the cap until spacer is tight. For best results,
keep the distance between the Transmitter and the Base Unit to the minimum practical distance.
