Factory Test Data Sheets
A set of factory test data is supplied with each transmitter. It lists parameters for
operation of the transmitter at your power level and channel. These readings were
recorded during factory testing. Locate the test data, copy, and file the original so that
copies may be made as needed. Record the same readings periodically to establish and
maintain an information base from which to work in the event of future changes or
problems.
2.3.2
Equipment Required for Unloading
Before the truck arrives with the new transmitter, have ready on site a fork lift truck or a
suitable unloading dock, a pallet jack, heavy duty two wheel cart, and any other
equipment necessary to unload up to 1250 pounds (570 kg) at the site in question. The
cabinets and pallets are too heavy to be safely unloaded by hand. An area large enough
to store the boxes should be prepared in advance to help the unloading process. Remove
the cabinets from the truck and set in a location where they cannot be damaged.

Cabinet Placement and Leveling
•

Also, remove the blocks that support the bottom of each rear door.
•
Use a chalk line or similar method to mark the floor position for each cabinet to
ensure even alignment.
