PRE-INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Proper repeater installation ensures the best
possible performance and reliability of the
repeater. Pre-installation planning is required in
order to make sure you take into account:
•
RF coverage field test to decide mounting
location of the repeater in relation to input
power and antennas
•
Site Environmental Conditions
•
Electrical Requirements
•
Proper programming of the repeater’s
parameters (in order to assure interoperability
with other radio devices)."Programming The
Repeater" on page 38 for more information.
•
Compliant with RF exposure limits.
Note:
You must read the entire pre-installation
chapter in order to assure proper repeater
operation.
RF Coverage Field Test
The following instructions* are quick and easy tips
to test the RF coverage area and decide the best
position for the Repeater Antenna (either with the
antenna directly installed into the repeater device
or using the antenna/magnetic mount/ RF cable
accessory kit (P/N HKKN4022).
This field coverage test needs to be performed by
at least two people, each one with a fully charged
2-way radio. Before the test, make sure the radios
are programmed exactly on the same parameters
(frequencies, codes, bandwidth, etc.) and are
operating in talk around mode.
Note:
(*) These instructions are not intended to
replace a professional RF field test.
