SPECIFICATIONS
SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 12-24 VOLTS AC OR DC
OPERATING CURRENT: 250 mA MAXIMUM
OPERATING TEMP RANGE: -40 TO +149F
(-40 TO +65C)
FREQUENCY: 390 MHz
RELAY CONTACT RATING: 1 AMP @ 24 VOLTS AC OR DC
Location: Select a convienent location near your device to be
controlled by the STAR250. For best performance, the STAR250
should be mounted in “Line-Of-Sight” with your intended
transmitting location. Avoid mounting the STAR250 in or on
metallic enclosures. If this is unavoidable, we recommend
installing the antenna extension kit (86LM) for best results. See
Remote Antenna Mounting for proper installation.
Receiver Mounting: Mount Backplate to desired surface using #6
hardware (Not provided). Hardware used will depend on on
mounting application. (Refer to figure 1 for Receiver mounting
hole locations). Wire electrical connections to unit. Snap Unit to
Back Plate.
Direct Antenna Mounting: Install the supplied antenna onto the
STAR250 antenna connector by screwing the connector
clockwise. Slide the seal boot down to meet the O-Ring, covering
the antenna hardware.
