accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by switching the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note: The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the IntelliCenter,
EasyTouch and IntelliTouch Control System without the approval of the manufacturer could
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

High Power Wireless Link Kit Overview
The High Power Wireless Link consists of an indoor and outdoor
902-928 MHz wireless transceiver. Note: The wireless transceivers ship
from the factory as a matched pair. The ID numbers on each transceiver
must be the same number to function correctly. If needed, the transceivers
must be replaced as a matched pair. For more information, call Customer
Support 800.831.7133.
Automation Control System: The High Power Wireless Link indoor and
outdoor transceiver provide a wireless connection between the Internet
and the IntelliCenter™, IntelliTouch® or EasyTouch® Control System Load
Center (or Power Center) located at the equipment pad which eliminates
hard wire connection from inside your home to the equipment pad.
Installation Guide
This Installation Guide provides installation instructions for the High Power
Wireless Link kit. For information about ScreenLogic Interface operation, refer

Mounting and Connecting the Outdoor High Power Wireless (HPW)
Transceiver to the Automation Control System Load Center
The following describes how to mount and connect the HPW Link outdoor
transceiver to an IntelliTouch® or EasyTouch® Automation Control System
Load Center or Power Center. See Figure 6 on page 12.
Mounting the HPW Outdoor Transceiver
The HPW outdoor transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached
antenna that communicates with the automation control system via a 15 ft.
four-conductor RS-485 communication cable.
HPW Outdoor Transceiver mounting location: Choose a convenient location
on a flat vertical surface near the Load Center at a minimum of 5 ft above
ground level to optimize the transmit and receive operating range. For optimum
performance position the HPW Outdoor transceiver with an unobstructed line-
of-sight propagation between the HPW Indoor and Outdoor transceiver.
1. Position the back plate against the mounting surface so that the
transceiver is oriented in an upright position with the antenna
pointing upwards. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting points.
Drill four 3/16 in. diameter holes into the mounting surface and
insert the four plastic anchors provided in the kit.
Note: To avoid signal interference, mount the transceiver
a minimum of 10 feet away from the load center, any metal
surface/structure, or air blower located in the immediate area
of the equipment pad.
2. Position the back plate over the mounting points and secure it with
the four mounting screws provided in the kit.
3. Carefully position the transceiver circuit board into the mounted
back plate. Route the communication cable wire up through the
lower exit hole at the bottom of the back plate. Carefully pull the
communication cable out the lower hole and position the circuit
board in the back plate.
4. Proceed to Connect the HPW Outdoor Transceiver Cable to the
RS-485 COM Port on Automation Control System on the next
page.
5. Slide the case over the circuit board and antenna into the back
plate. Secure the circuit board in the case using the two retaining
screws.

6. Strip the leads of the communication cable wires back ¼ in. Insert
the wires into the connector screw terminals. Using a small flat-
blade screwdriver, secure the wires with the COM PORT (J7/J8)
terminal screws. Note: Multiple wires may be inserted into a single
screw terminal. Be sure to match the color-coding of the wires:

this can cause an intermittent
connection. Note: For additional
COM ports, an optional Serial
COM Port Expansion Board (P/N
520818) can be installed in the
low voltage compartment.
7. After the communication cable connection has been completed;
close the Outdoor Control Panel and tighten the two retaining
screws. Reinstall the High Voltage Panel: Insert the panel’s three
tabs into the lower slots on the enclosure. Secure the panel with the
two (2) retaining screws. Close the front door and secure it with the
latch.
8. Switch ON AC power to the Load Center.
9. After the Power Center is powered up the HPW Link outdoor
transceiver will automatically synchronize with the system and will
be ready for operation. Note: The initial connection can take up
to 2-3 minutes.
