Installing the Transmitter
The first consideration in the placement of the transmitter is convenience. It should be readily
accessible in a central location within the paging area. Pay close attention to nearby obstructions
such as walls, pipes, ducts, mirrored glass, or other similar barriers that may weaken or misdirect
transmitted signals. Certain materials and construction, especially metal, have the potential to
partially or completely block the paging signal.
The next consideration involves safety. Ensure the unit is securely mounted and away from
liquids, extreme heat and possible physical damage. Also remember that the transmitting unit
requires a 110V AC power outlet. Be sure an antenna is attached prior to applying power to
avoid damage to the transmitter. An optional molded plastic cover is available as an accessory
purchase, to protect the transmitter, especially in areas where spillage is possible.
For best results, the transmitter antenna must be vertical. Ideally the transmitter should be
centrally located within the area where paging is to occur. Since this is not always possible, range
testing at different locations may be required to obtain the desired performance.
Once the Desktop Transmitter and antenna have been installed, plug in the power adapter. Once
powered the transmitter will display
“Enter Number”
or
“Enter F1-F4’’
depending on the mode
installed indicating
it is ready to send a page. We recommend some type of surge suppressor on
the power supply for protection. Power surges are not covered under system warranty.
