Wireless Remote Transceiver
In Tempest NG, CoachComm uses the remote transceiver mounted on the antenna mast to get the antennas higher into the air
for increased performance. The positioning of the transceiver and the antennas on the transceiver are covered in the Antenna
System section of this manual.
If a Tempest NG system has three (3) BaseStations, then it will be necessary to use three (3) transceivers. Each BaseStation
requires a dedicated transceiver. The transceiver has two antennas located on the top of the unit and a connection for a CAT-5
cable for connecting to the BaseStation. The transceiver will be powered by the CAT-5 cable with current from that transceiver’s
BaseStation.
There are four (4) indicator lights on the bottom to indicate receive (RX), transmit (TX), Sync, and Config. In normal operation,
the RX and TX lights will flash very rapidly at all times indicating proper operation. The Sync light will remain on when the
transceiver is in proper communication with it’s BaseStation. The Config light will light briefly during start-up, but otherwise
should never be on since this is only used during technician diagnostics. Note: Plug-in the transceivers to the base station
before powering-up the base station.
