3. Secure the bottom Cellular 500G mounting holes over the two 8-32 by 3/4 inch screws
with the remaining two 8-32 nuts.
4. Insert the #10 spacers into the four mounting holes on the back of the IMC\W2.
Caution: Upright vertical positioning is very important because the Cellular
500G is:
– designed with the antenna in a vertical direction so the antenna is parallel to the reading
device (which has a vertical antenna). Matching antenna polarity can greatly affect RF
performance and enable easy module reading.
– designed so the tilt tamper is vertical. It is important to maintain vertical positioning in the field
to enable tilt tamper stability.
– designed for installation with the batteries vertical (installed with the positive terminal
upward). Any other installation orientation will compromise battery life.
5. Secure the module/bracket assembly on the IMC\W2 using four module/mounting bracket
screws (M6 by 20 millimeters). Install tamper seals as required.
