Section 2: Getting Started
This section describes how to set up and enroll the PC4164 module.
2.1 Unpack the PC4164
Check that the following parts are in your PC4164 package:
• PC4164 PCB
• PC4164 plastic cabinet
• 2 antennas
2.2 Install the Antennas
Attach both antennas to the terminals marked ANT1 and ANT2, (not GND1
and GND2). Install the antennas ONLY as shown in the following diagrams:
DO NOT install the antennas this way:
2.3 Find a Mounting Location for the PC4164
NOTE:
Do not permanently mount the PC4164 now. Mount the PC4164
receiver after you have done placement tests with all the wireless
devices (see sections 4.1 and 4.2).
Find a place that is:
• Dry
• Central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices
• As high as possible
• Far from sources of interference, including: electrical noise such as com-
puters, televisions and electric motors in appliances and heating and air
conditioning units; large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing
which may shield the antenna.
Make sure that electrical wires will not run over the antenna(s) of the mod-
ule when it is mounted.
When mounting the PC4164 in a basement, place the module as high and as
close to the underside of the first floor as possible. The range of the module
will be smaller if the unit is mounted below ground level.
