High Power Wireless Link Kit Overview

The High Power Wireless Link consists of an indoor and outdoor
902-928 MHz wireless transceiver. Note: The wireless transceivers ship from the factory as a matched pair. The ID numbers on each transceiver must be the same number to function correctly. If needed, the transceivers must be replaced as a matched pair. For more information, call Customer Support 800.831.7133.

Automation Control System: The High Power Wireless Link indoor and outdoor transceiver provide a wireless connection between the Internet and the IntelliCenter®, IntelliTouch® or EasyTouch® Control System Load Center (or Power Center) located at the equipment pad which eliminates hard wire connection from inside your home to the equipment pad.

Mounting and Connecting the Outdoor High Power Wireless (HPW) Link Transceiver to the Automation Control System Load Center

The following describes how to mount and connect the HPW Link outdoor transceiver to an IntelliTouch® or EasyTouch® Automation Control System Load Center or Power Center. See Figure 6 on page 12. The HPW Link outdoor transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached antenna that communicates with the automation control system via a 15 ft. four-conductor RS-485 communication cable.
HPW Outdoor Transceiver mounting location: Choose a convenient location on a flat vertical surface near the Load Center at a minimum of 5 ft above ground level to optimize the transmit and receive operating range. For optimum performance position the HPW Link Outdoor transceiver with an unobstructed line-of-sight propagation between the HPW Indoor and Outdoor transceiver.

Mounting the HPW Link Outdoor Transceiver

Mount the HPW Link outdoor transceiver as follows:

  1. Remove the two screws securing the transceiver case. Slide the backplate downward out from the case.
  2. Note: To avoid signal interference, mount the transceiver a minimum of 10 feet away from the load center, any metal surface/structure, or air blower located in the immediate area of the equipment pad. Position the backplate against the mounting surface so that the transceiver is oriented upright. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting points. Drill four 3/16 in. diameter holes into the mounting surface and insert the four plastic anchors provided in the kit.
  3. Position the backplate over the mounting points and secure it to the surface with the four mounting screws provided in the kit.
  4. Carefully position the transceiver circuit board into the mounted backplate. Route the communication cable wire up through the lower exit hole at the bottom of the backplate. Pull the communication cable through the lower hole and position the circuit board in the backplate.
  5. Proceed to Connect the HPW Outdoor Communication Cable to the RS-485 COM Port on Automation Control System on the next page.
  6. After wiring is complete, slide the case over the circuit board into the backplate. Secure the circuit board in the case using the two retaining screws.
