Connecting the Hercules
Step 1
Connect the antennas to the Hercules by
screwing the SMA connectors into the antenna
jacks of the Hercules (hand tight).
Secure the magnetic mounts at the base of the
antennas to a metallic surface or near the top
of the ATM terminal in a vertical orientation
(top of antenna’s pointing upward).
The MAIN antenna, connected closest to the
power jack (pictured above) should be placed
in the most ideal location. The AUX antenna
should be placed a minimum of four inches
away or more from the MAIN antenna. Ensure
the antennas are placed away from electronics
or other metallic objects that may cause signal
interference.
Step 2
Connect the required communication cable
(ethernet or telephone) from the ATM to the
Hercules.
Step 3
Plug the power adapter into the Hercules and
then plug it into an AC outlet. Verify the green
Power indicator is lit on the Hercules.
Antenna Placement: Place antenna so a
minimum of 8 inches is maintained between it
and any person to limit RF exposure to within
FCC guidelines. Note: This equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with these
instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures: (1)
Re-orient or relocate the antenna, (2) Increase
the separation between the equipment and
the receiver, (3) Connect the equipment into an
outlet or a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected, and (4) Consult DPL
or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning
Changes or modications not expressly
approved by DPL could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Declaration
This equipment contains a radio module
Gemalto ELS61-US or Gemalto ELS31-V. Refer
to product label for FCC / ICAN numbers.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However
certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from the
Hercules (LTE/HSPA) wireless modem. This
should be considered before installing in
sensitive areas such as Medical Facilities and
facilities that ban the use of Digital Cellular
Phones.
