ET107 Weather Station

2.5.5.2 Antenna

Campbell Scientific recommends the 20679 Dual-Band 0/3 dBd

Omnidirectional Antenna for using a RavenXT modem in an ET107 station.

This antenna covers both the 800-MHz band and the 1.9-GHz band. For the

800-MHz band, the 20679 provides a 0-dBd gain. For the 1.9-GHz band, the

20679 provides a 3-dBd gain.

Mounting hardware that comes in the box with the 20679 antenna

will not be used. The 19256 kit provides the hardware needed to

mount the antenna to the ET107 pole.

2.5.5.3 Power Considerations

Campbell Scientific recommends using either AC power or a 10-watt solar

panel and the PS24 power supply. Refer to Appendix B, PS24 24 Ahr Power

Supply and 10 x 12 inch Enclosure, for mounting options and information on

the PS24.

2.5.5.4 Establishing Cellular Service and Configuring the Cellular Modem

To use a cellular modem, you must first establish cellular service. The modem

then needs to be activated and programmed for use with Campbell Scientific

equipment. Procedures for doing these tasks are provided in the cellular

modem manual.

Campbell Scientific recommends testing the modem in the office

(assuming there is cellular coverage) prior to installing it in the

field.

2.5.5.5 Internal Installation

If the 19256 Cell Phone Accessory Kit and cellular modem were

ordered with the ET107, you can skip this section and go directly

to Section 2.5.5.6, External Installation.

For installation inside the ET enclosure, the following components are

provided in the cell phone accessory kit:

(1) Mounting bracket

(1) Null Modem Cable

(1) 5502 4-inch Velcro Hook—used with the Velcro strap to secure the radio
