XT GATE GUARD INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The XT OUTPOST GATE GUARD can be mounted to
virtually any surface with four (4) #6 panhead screws.
Choose a type of screw thread and screw length
which will hold firmly in the surface to which the unit
will be mounted.
To MOUNT the XT OUTPOST GATE GUARD: ( Refer
to FIG-5)
1. Remove the front faceplate from the XT Callbox.
The faceplate is secured to the case with 4 van-
dal-resistant buttonhead, Torx screws. Use the T-
25 Torx bit included with the radio to remove
these screws.
2. Remove the “Mounting Bracket” kit secured to the
inside of the XT Callbox case.
Due to the wide variety of installation possibilities,
RIITRON does not provide the cables or hard-
ware required to bring external connections into
the XT Callbox. When selecting your cable
hardware be sure it will adequately seal the cable
to the case.
3. Carefully study the internal construction of the XT
Callbox and determine the location on the outside
case where the external supply and Gate Guard
hook-up will be brought in. Consider clearance
with your desired hardware.
4. Remove the 4 flathead screws securing the inter-
nal mounting plate and remove entire internal
case assembly. The front faceplate will be at-
tached to the internal case assembly, handle with
care.
5. Drill the hole in the XT Callbox case required for
your cable installation.
6. Install the 4 mounting brackets to the back of the
XT Callbox case shown in FIG-2. The mounting
brackets can be installed vertically, as shown, or
horizontally.
7. Thread your external hookup cable through the
hole with approximately 6 inches of cable inside
the case. Your external cable will be connected
to the XT Callbox 6-conductor interface cable with
wirenuts, dress your external wires accordingly.
With your selected hardware, secure and seal the
cable to the XT Callbox case.
8. Position the XT Callbox case in the chosen in-
stallation location and secure it in place with four
screws through the mounting brackets.
9. If programming is required, loosen the (4) captive
screws in the front corners of the internal Callbox
case and separate the case front from the case
back. These screws are captive to the housing;
to prevent damaging them, DO NOT
remove the
screws from the housing.
10. Program the radio, if required. Refer to the pro-
gramming section of this manual for details. To
program the radio you must first apply +12VDC
external power, or install a charged back-up bat-
tery. Refer to FIG-1 for hookup of an external
+12VDC supply.
11. If rechargeable NiCd batteries are used for bat-
tery backup the “Charge Jumper” must be placed
into the “charge” position as shown.
! !
CAUTION ! !
If rechargeable batteries are NOT used for battery
backup, be sure the “Charge Jumper” is NOT in
the “charge position. Charging alkaline batteries
will damage the cells and reduce battery life!
12. Fasten the internal case front to the case back
with the four( 4) captive screws. Do not over-
tighten the plastic screws to prevent damage.
13. Secure the internal case assembly to the XT Call-
box with the 4 flathead screws through the inter-
nal mounting plate. Refer to FIG-5 for correct ori-
entation and location of the antenna and cables.
