Connect Antenna and Temporarily Place Unit
The Telguard unit is supplied with an antenna. In most cases the antenna may
be mounted directly to the Telguard unit. If a stronger radio signal is required,
the antenna must be moved to a better signal location using a Telguard
antenna cable and bracket accessory (sold separately). The performance of
the Telguard antenna may be affected by the wall material and materials
contained within the wall chosen for mounting. These effects may not be
clearly identified by RSSI monitoring alone. The wall materials may have a
more pronounced effect on the antenna’s transmit band performance.
When selecting a mounting location, do not mount this unit in an area where
the general public could reasonably be within 20cm (8 inches) of the antenna.
Note 1:
Optimum RF performance can usually be found at the highest point
within a building with the fewest number of walls between the Telguard unit’s
antenna and the outside of the premises.
Note 2
: To avoid interference with other electronic devices operating in the
area, avoid mounting the Telguard unit’s antenna near other electronic
devices.
Note 3
: The Telguard TG-1 Express with supplied antenna is designed for
indoor installations ONLY.
These considerations should be coupled with the best RSSI indication
obtainable. Care should be taken to ensure that a large metal object such as a
refrigerator or a metal cabinet is not located on the opposite side of the wall.
If moving the Telguard unit to a different location is not practical, then you
may need a cable and accessories (sold separately) to remote the antenna in
order to receive adequate radio signal strength. Pick a high, visually secure
spot using the guidelines below.
