Base Station Radio
The base station radio is AC line powered and connects with the COM cable (provided) to your
computer. (see Figure 6.10). Install your base station radio near your PC. Keep in mind that the
cable to the antenna will need to be routed outside to the roof. This antenna should be part of the
system you ordered. The small whip antenna that was provided with the base radio is not
intended for field use and is probably not suitable for communication with the field station. Once
you have mounted the antenna to a tower or other appropriate supporting structure, connect the
antenna cable.
Figure 6.9 Base Station Radio
Next connect the COM cable (provided) from the base station radio to your PC COM port. Both
connectors are DB-9 female. Power on the base station radio only when it is properly connected
to its antenna, and the 6200 DCP has its antenna connected. Failure to have an antenna
connected will result in a radio being damaged.
When using EcoWatch DCP, be sure it is setup to use radio as the communication method, and
that the COM port is connected to the base station radio.
