Trailblazer Installation and User Manual version 1.02 10
2.3 Bench Testing Instructions
Before going into the field set up the units on your bench to become familiar with
their set up, operation, configuration, and verify their functionality. Each system is
shipped with a handy, full-color “Quick Start Guide” for simplified step-by-step
instructions for bench testing. The following section will provide you with the
same information in greater detail.
2.3.1 Setting up Your Trailblazer on the Bench
Set your units next to each other and attach the included test antennas to the N
female connectors on the enclosures as shown. The units may not achieve an
RF connection without these little antennas.
2.3.2 Powering the Trailblazer
The Trailblazer units accept 12 -24VDC negative ground. There are special
provisions for using a positive ground, please contact your CWT sales
representative for more information. If your system is equipped with a battery
backup, verify that the battery output is 12VDC or more. If the battery output is
less than 12VDC, disconnect the power supply’s black and red power cables,
connected to the terminal block, from your unit, and simply connect the power
supply’s terminated red (+) and black (-) power cables to their respective
terminals on the battery. Plug the AC power supply cable into an AC source to
charge the battery, and verify that the battery is charging. Ensure that the battery
is fully charged before proceeding into the field. When the battery is fully
charged, verify that the unit powers up by noting that the LEDs are lit.
