Receiver Antenna Installation
There are two antenna types, depending on which
Liberator One
system you purchased. The
WMS L100
System includes the ANT 011
Whip Antenna. The
WMS L150
System includes the ANT 016 Wall-
Mount Dipole Antenna. The ANT 011 Whip Antenna is suitable for
portable and general use. The ANT 016 Dipole is suitable for rack-
mount installations or when extended range is necessary. The ANT 016
is more efficient than the Whip Antenna and will provide the greatest
system range.
Using the Whip Antenna:
The ANT 011 Whip Antenna attaches directly to the Antenna Connector
on the back of the WMS R11 Receiver. Carefully thread the fitting on
and tighten by hand while holding the whip upright. Do not use a pliers
or wrench to tighten the connector.
When using the whip antenna, make sure the Receiver and antenna are
within line-of-sight of the Transmitter. Try to keep the Receiver and
antenna as close to the Transmitter as practical. Do not put the
Receiver and antenna
inside a metal cabinet.
Do not place the
Receiver where metal
objects will be between
the antenna and the
transmitter. Some metal
objects such as steel
beams, reinforcing bars,
metal studs, ductwork
and foil-backed
insulation may not be
visible, but they can
cause reception
problems. Materials
such as wood, glass,
and masonry are
generally transparent to
radio signals. If you
cannot get acceptable
reception with the whip
antenna, use the ANT
016 Dipole Antenna in a
more optimal location.
