Antenna Placement for Optimum Range and Rack Mounting
For maximum range and when rack mounting, the antennas must be remotely located.
The ALP-450 and the ALP-600 antennas come complete with a variety of mounting hardware and 10ft. (3m) of low loss coaxial
cable. A combination mounting bracket with 10ft of coaxial cable is available for ½ wave antennas (Model No. AB-2).
Antennas should be places in a location with a clear signal path to the beltpacks. This path should be as short and free of
obstruction as possible. Obstructions, such as walls, ceilings, and metal objects, reduce range and performance.
Rack Mounting
Rack mount brackets are supplied with the ACS-101.
To attach the brackets, do the following:
1.
Align the rack mount bracket with the holes on the side of the unit (Figure 8).
2.
Install flat head machine screws in two (2) holes.
3.
Tighten securely.
4.
Repeat, step 1 through 3 on the other side of the unit.
NOTE:
For best alignment, perform the above steps while the unit and rack brackets are setting on a flat surface.
5.
Insert the unit into a 19” rack enclosure and insert four (4) screws (not supplied) in each corner of the rack mount brackets
and secure.
Coax Cable
For best results, it is recommended that cable losses be kept under 4dB. Every 3dB of signal loss results in a system operating
distance reduction of 25%.
See the accessories section of this sheet for special low loss cable assemblies.
