Site Survey
It is recommended that a site survey is conducted prior to installation of any GSM or GPRS
equipment and associated aerial system to confirm that an adequate radio signal is available at
the site.
It is particularly important that a site survey is conducted when:
a. there may be a weak signal strength at the proposed site;
b. it is known that the aerial will be fitted inside a sheet metal covered building or under
a sheet metal roof;
c. the aerial will be on lower floors of buildings in heavily built-up areas.
The D2366 GSM radio signal analyser is ideal for surveying a proposed site for a suitable radio
signal. Note the point of best signal. Install the aerial at this location.
Use the radio signal analyser to find the point of best signal. This means:
-
Maximise the SIG (high signal strength received from a base station);
-
Minimise the BER (none or low level of interfering signals).
Full details on optimising signal strength and BER are on pages 16 and 17.
Fitting a SIM card
To access the SIM card holder, simply remove the D2366 GSM radio signal analyser out of the
rubber sleeve from the bottom end. You will find a small yellow button - press on it with a pen
and the SIM card holder will be ejected. Fit the SIM card onto the holder and push the latter back
into the D2366.
When no SIM card is fitted, the unit will display results for all networks detected.
When a SIM card is fitted, the unit will be locked to that operator’s network.
