Steps to Connect the Weatherproof Power Cord Plug The DC power input range of the WFM is 36 75 VDC. The DC supply should be limited to 1.5 Ampere to avoid surges and possible damage to the WFM. For that, limited power supply or circuit breaker should be used. When connecting the WFM to a MAINS DC distribution system, 1.5 Ampere circuit breaker should be used to enable the central DC system to isolate the WFM in an emergency case. The DC input is floating, so either (+) or (-) can be connected to the GND on the power supply side. For the sake of consistency with other systems, EBlink recommends that you connect the (+) to the GND. Use a 2-wire cable (14-18 AWG) to connect the power supply to the WFM. On the WFM DC Module, connect only the (+) and (-) wires. Do not connect to the WFM's GND input. 1 2 3 4 Item Description 1 2 3 4 Appropriate length of two wire cable Power Plug kit (provided by EBlink) Electricians knife appropriate for stripping cables Flat blade screwdriver with 2mm blade Pin out

Alignment Option FL58 advantages is the fast, quick, easy alignment procedure. The modules can be coarse aligned optically. Electrical alignment is then used to optimize performance. The WFM antenna must be aligned on both central and remote WFMs. Visual alignment is first performed for each WFM, followed by fine alignment. Accurate alignment of the WFM is critical for achieving the strongest possible receive signal. Beyond the usage of the LRMT, two options are proposed to align FL58 links. These options can be useful typically when the link distance becomes significant. The first possibility is to use a Multimeter. In this case, EBlink proposes a cable allowing to connect a Multimeter to the FL58 : FrontLink 58 Voltmeter cable (reference FL58VLTMCBL). The other possibility is to use the Buzzer solution.

The DC supply should be limited to 1.5 Ampere to avoid surges and possible damage to the WFM. For this, limited power supply or circuit breaker should be used. When connecting the WFM to a MAINS DC distribution system, a 1.5 Ampere circuit breaker should be used to enable the central DC system to isolate the WFM in case of emergency. 5.8.1. Power Connector Kit Power kit Items:

Steps to connect the Weatherproof Power Cord Plug The DC power input range of the WFM is 36 75 VDC. The DC supply should be limited to 1.5 Ampere to avoid surges and possible damage to the WFM. For this, limited power supply or circuit breaker should be used. When connecting the WFM to a MAINS DC distribution system, 1.5 Ampere circuit breaker should be used to enable the central DC system to isolate the WFM in an emergency case. The DC input is floating, so either (+) or (-) can be connected to the GND on the power supply side. For the sake of consistency with other systems, EBlink recommends that you connect the (+) to the GND. Use a 2-wire cable (13 or 16 AWG based on distance) to connect the power supply to the WFM. On the WFM DC Module, connect only the (+) and (-) wires. Do not connect to the WFM's GND input.

Performing link alignment The FL58 features quick and easy antenna alignment for fast and cost effective installation. The WFM antenna must be aligned on both central and remote WFMs. A first, coarse alignment is performed visually, followed by fine tuning using the systems integrated tools. Accurate alignment of the WFM is critical for achieving the strongest possible receive signal. Two options are proposed to align FL58 links. The first possibility is to use a Multimeter. In this case, EBlink proposes a cable allowing to connect a Multimeter to the FL58 : FL58 Voltmeter cable (reference FL58VLTMCBL). The other possibility is to use the LRMT in absence of multimeter. 5.9.1. Digital Voltmeter Cable for alignment (FL58VLTMCBL) Alignment should be done using a voltmeter and cable with a circular 12 pin connector. The cable is connected to the Voltmeter (DVM) on one side and
