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.
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.
