Installing Multiple Carriers
■
Install each carrier high on wall, leaving at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) between
antennas and ceiling
■
Install each carrier 1 foot (0.3 m) optimal to 4 feet (1.2 m) from its
neighboring carrier
■
Never install or remove a radio module from a carrier that is plugged into a wall
outlet (hot insertion)
■
See “Key Components” earlier in this chapter for additional picture detail
1
Check to make sure the carrier’s power cord is
unplugged from the wall outlet before continuing.
2
Choose a location backed by a wooden stud
for the carrier (if unavailable, use toggle bolts
instead of the supplied wood screws).
IMPORTANT:
The leftmost carrier must be the control carrier.
Place the carrier against the wall, leaving enough
room to the right for additional carrier(s) if appli-
cable. Hold the carrier straight; use a level if needed.
Using a nail or pencil, mark screw locations through
the four wall mount holes. Start the screws, leaving
the screw heads approximately ½” (12 mm) from the
wall.
3
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each carrier.
Place the carrier over the screws, then slide it
downward to lock it into place. Be sure that the
4
leftmost carrier is the control carrier. Tighten the
screws. Repeat for each carrier.
Connect an expansion cable to the OUT jack of
the control carrier.
