This section describes how to set up and enroll the PC4164-RS module.
2.1 Unpack the PC4164-RS
Check that the following parts are in your PC4164-RS package:
•
PC4164-RS PCB
•
PC4164-RS plastic cabinet
•
2 antennas
2.2 Install the Antennas
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:
2.3 Find a Mounting Location for the PC4164-RS
NOTE
: Do not permanently mount the PC4164-RS now. Mount the PC4164-RS receiver
after
you have done placement tests with all the wireless devices (see sections 4.1
and 4.2).
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 PC4164-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
smaller if the unit is mounted below ground level.
