A. Transceiver installation steps
To install the FGR-HT series transceivers, follow the basic steps given below.
1.
Mount the transceiver to the flat, stable surface using mounting holes in the corners of the
transceiver. Transceiver models sold under FCC ID KNY-820181531119 are to be installed
professionally in NEMA enclosures.
2.
Install the antenna and connect the antenna feedline to the transceiver. If you are installing a
directional antenna, preset the antenna’s direction appropriately. The antenna must be
professionally installed on fixed-mounted permanent outdoor structures for satisfying RF
exposure requirements.
3.
Connect a computer to the transceiver’s Diagnostic port (please refer to the part C of this
addendum for more information about the transceiver’s pin assignment). This computer will
be used to set the radio configuration.
4.
Install the power for the radio.
5.
Set the radio configuration according to the system topology and data terminal equipment
requirements. Default transceiver settings allow user to do a quick installation without major
changes in transceiver’s configuration. However, there is one parameter that
must be
considered for a new installation – the transceiver’s power output setting. (RF Xmit
Power. Menu 3 > Option 5, when using HyperTerminal for radio setup.)
Transceiver output power level
must be
set according to the tables given below to satisfy
FCC maximum EIRP requirement. Per FCC regulations, any antenna used with FreeWave
transceivers must either be one of the approved antennas shown below or an antenna
approved by FreeWave Technologies with comparable performance parameters. FreeWave
Technologies offers a variety of omni-directional and directional external antennas, with both
bracket and magnetic mounts. The complete list of antennas available from FreeWave
Technologies including antenna gains, antenna manufacturer’s information and antenna’s
characteristics is shown below:
The following antennas are approved for use with FreeWave FGR-HT model transceivers:

NOTE:
Use of this antenna requires a cable equivalent to FreeWave part # ASC0302xx. This
is a 30’ LMR-240 cable and will provide ~2.3dB of attenuation, allowing the
transceiver to run at full power.
