Transmitter/controllers in the MPT8000 Series are desktop units. Determine the
best location for the unit.
Proceed to Section 3.2.2, RECEIVER.
3.2.2 Receiver
1. Determine the best location to install the unit.
2. Using the WX8000 receiver box as a template, mark the hole pattern on the
mounting surface. Drill holes in the mounting surface.
3. Attach the WX8000 receiver securely with four fasteners of appropriate length
(not supplied.)
Proceed to Section 3.3, WIRING.
3.3 WIRING
3.3.1 Control Wiring
3.3.1.1 Wiring the Transmitter/Controller to the
Receiver
Run the control cable between the controller/transmitter and the receiver (refer to
Figures 1 and 2.)
The control cable should be unshielded twisted pair wire. Maximum operating dis-
tances should be determined by referring to Table A, Control Cable Wiring
Distances.
Table A. Control Cable Wiring Distances
Wire Gauge* Maximum Distance
22 AWG 5 miles (8 km)
20 AWG 10 miles (16 km)
* Control cable operating distances are approximate according to wire used.
To wire the MPT8000 control wires, refer to Figure 5 and perform the following
instructions:
1. Attach one wire from the terminal labeled HI on the MPT8000 Series
controller to the terminal labeled HI on the WX8000 Series receiver.
2. Attach one wire from the terminal labeled LOW on the MPT8000 Series
controller to the terminal labeled LOW on the WX8000 Series receiver.
If you want to use a configuration that includes a switching device, refer to the
manual provided with the switcher for the appropriate connections.
Proceed to Section 3.3.1.2, WIRING FROM THE RECEIVER/DRIVER TO THE
PAN/TILT.
NOTE:
When installing the
WX8000 receiver to a wall out-
doors, seal the bolt holes with an
appropriate sealant. Apply the
sealant around the bolt holes be-
tween the unit and the mounting
surface. This will prevent possible
water damage to the wall caused
by rainwater leaking through the
mounting bolt holes. (This may only
be a problem when the mounting
bolts go completely though the
wall.)
NOTE:
Never mount the receiver
with wiring connectors facing up.
Always have the connectors facing
down to prevent water damage.
