Aerial Siting
ALWAYS do a site survey to find an area of strong signal before
installation. Installing a Com GSM with a weak signal is bad
installation practice.
The aerial should be mounted vertically at the point of strongest
signal. This is usually the highest point in the building (often the loft
area).
Avoid installing the aerial directly under metal roofs or within metal
skinned buildings because this will reduce the signal strength and
may inhibit operation completely. If this is unavoidable, the
strongest signal will be found away from the metal roof or close to
large external windows or skylights.
Avoid installing the aerial close (2 metres) to cable runs, ducting,
structural metalwork, metal pipes, water tanks and electronic
equipment, e.g. photocopiers, fax machines etc. These can have
similar effects to metal roofs.
Reliable operation is unlikely with a low signal strength. If the display
shows that the signal strength is 40% or lower, you should improve
the signal strength. This may be achieved by repositioning the
aerial. The GPRS aerial lead should not be cut, therefore
repositioning the aerial may require that the Com GSM is also
repositioned.
The DualCom® CS2366 Radio Test Set is ideal for surveying a site.
This handheld unit can check the availability, signal strength and
interference status of all surrounding Base Stations. In addition, it
will identify the best location for a DualCom GPRS aerial within the
building, help to avoid sources of interference and can confirm the
availability of a GPRS service at the proposed site.
Where a Nokia ‘Net Mon’ pho
ne is available and a Vodafone SIM
Card is fitted, it may be used in the same manner as the CS2366
Radio Test Set.
Alternatively, a Vodafone mobile phone may be used to locate the
point of strongest signal. The signal strength indicator is normally a
bar or line at the side of the display on the mobile telephone. Note:
The mobile phone MUST use the Vodafone network. A mobile
phone that uses a different radio network will NOT show the correct
signal strength.
This ‘mobile phone’ method cannot provide infor
mation on the
availability, signal strength and interference status of all radio Base
Stations in the surrounding area. Use of the CS2366 Radio Test Set
is recommended.
When you have identified the point of the strongest signal, make a
note of this point and use it when installing the Com GSM aerial.
Remember: It is always easier to find the point of strongest signal
before the equipment is fitted to a wall. Moving aerials, cables,
trunking etc. after installation is wasted time and effort.
