This section describes how to set up and wire the PC5132-RS module.
2.1 Unpack the PC5132-RS
Check that the following parts are in your PC5132-RS package:
· PC5132-RS PCB
· PC5132-RS plastic cabinet
· 2 antennas
2.2 Choose a Mounting Location for the PC5132-RS
NOTE: Do not permanently mount the PC5132-RS now. Mount the PC5132-RS
receiver after you have done placement tests with the wireless devices (see
sections 5.1 and 5.2).
Find a place that is:
• Dry
• Central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices
• As high as possible
• Far from sources of interference, including: electrical noise such as
computers, televisions and electric motors in appliances and heating and
air conditioning units; large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing
which may shield the antenna.
Make sure that electrical wires will not run over the antenna(s) of the module
when it is mounted.
When mounting the PC5132-RS in a basement, place the module as high and
as close to the underside of the first floor as possible. The range of the module
will be reduced if the unit is mounted below ground level.
2.3 Installing the Antennas
1. Ensure that about 1/4 inch of insulation is removed from the bottom of
each antenna in order to ensure a good electrical connection with each
terminal.
2. Attach both antennas to the terminals marked ANT1 and ANT2, (not
GND1 and GND2). Install the antennas ONLY as shown in the following
diagrams:
DO NOT install the antennas this way. The PC5132-RS will not be able to receive
signals:
