Connecting the antenna

Install an appropriate external cellular antenna. Connect the antenna to the external jack of the bulkhead jack adapter with an appropriate RF cable. Connect the Raven antenna jack to the interior bulkhead jack with an appropriate RF cable.

Connecting the serial cable

Connect the RTU/PLC meter serial port to the Raven serial port with a DB-9 male connector.

Grounding the Raven Case

The exterior Raven II case should be connected to the enclosure ground which should be connected to the battery or power source negative terminal. This is best accomplished with a grounding strap under one of the mounting bracket screws to the enclosure grounding bar.

Connecting the power cable

The power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power source positive terminal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to the battery or power source negative terminal. The Raven II has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0 amps of current.

Insert the power connector into the Raven II power receptacle.
