Install OneVue Transceiver with External Antenna
Leveraging the precision of GPS satellite or Network Time Protocol (NTP) time, OneVue Transmitters wirelessly synchronize time for
analog and digital clocks, timers and other Repeater Transmitters throughout a facility.
Before you begin
l
Review the Installation Guidelines and identify the installation location of the Transceiver and system components.
l
Inspect system components to verify packaging includes all supplied parts for each system component and verify no damage
has occurred during shipping.
l
Do not install or attempt to set the system wireless clocks or devices until the Transceiver and its components are installed and
configured. Transceiver is powered, its time source is configured and time has been received, and is fully operational.

Install location requirements
When planning the system installation of a Transceiver with an External Antenna, Primex recommends taking into consideration the
below guidelines. Location is extremely important to ensure the best operation of your system.
l
Transceiver should be located on the tallest building near center of area of coverage. In a multi-story building, locate Transceiver
on the top floor; significantly improves coverage to the lower floors due to the “umbrella” pattern of transmission.
l
Transceiver must be located within 100 ft. (30.4 m) from the antenna. The maximum cable length allowed between the external
antenna and Transceiver is 100 ft. (30.4 m). The system is attenuated to the 100 ft. (30.4 m) of coaxial cable; typically figure
between 80 to 85 ft. of usable cable length.
l
Transceiver must be located a minimum of 4 ft. (1.2 m) above the floor.
l
Transceiver must be located within 3 ft. (0.9 m) from a 120 VAC electrical outlet. 10 AMP dedicated service recommended.
l
Transceiver must be located in a controlled environment that is 32 to 122° F (0 to 50° C) and non-condensing humidity
environment.
l
External antenna must be located at a minimum of 15 ft. (4.5 m) clear from the radius of other antennas.
