Brand Transmitter and Components
The transmitter and other components like the LP 4200 Surge Protector, and backup
battery, must be installed in a dry, protected indoor location near a constant source of
110vAC power (outlet). An area on the inside of an exterior wall in a basement, garage, or
utility room is usually the best place. The ideal location would be inside the building at the
point where it will be closest to the signal field loop, easily accessible from the outside, and
where will you will be able have the twisted pair running straight out from the transmitter
to the signal field loop. You’ll typically need an area of two square feet (.6x.6m) to mount
the transmitter and the other indoor components of a system. Look for a location with
a110v outlet, or outlets, which can be used exclusively to provide the power for the system.
Never use an outlet or outlets that can be turned on and off with a switch. Please
make sure you use a dedicated outlet that always has power.
