There are two basic ways of designing a system. If you have multiple buildings in an area and want the
signals from the wireless devices to report to the CP-3000, you may have antennas on the SLAVE side of
the repeaters in the field pointing towards the CP-3000 or the repeater above the CP 3000. The master
side of the repeaters will gather signals from the slave transmitters in the field and the slave side will
transmit those signals in a narrow direction towards the master side of the next repeater or the CP-
3000.
You can have an antenna on the CP-3000. Since the CP-3000 is a master only, that antenna will be in a
receiving or gathering mode.
The second design is a bit different. If you have a long distance application, such as multiple buildings on
an industrial site, you can have antennas on both sides of the repeater, the master side gathering signals
and the slave side transmitting to the next repeater master or the CP-3000 master.
The Yagi antenna will always be mounted with the main body of the antenna parallel to the ground
pointing in the direction you want to receive or transmit signals. The spines will always be in a vertical
position pointing up and down as depicted in the picture below.
