Screw antennas on
TIGHT
.
Loose antennas will affect the signal strength!
Unlock the units and open doors.
Set both units to
TEST MODE
.
ONLY
test 2 units at a time, turn ALL other units OFF!
Set one unit to
LOCAL connection
and the other to
REMOTE connection
. The
“LOCAL
connection” unit
is near the telephone entry system.
Temporarily stick the supplied battery packs on the outside of each unit with the double stick
tape. Feed the wires through an existing hole on back of the unit. It is
VERY
important that
BOTH
battery packs produce 12VDC, weak batteries will produce undependable test results.
Both units
must
be set to the same
FACILITY FREQUENCY
. If they are not the same,
follow
Step
5
on the manual to set the frequencies on both units.
Connect the battery wires to the removable power connector. When
BOTH
units have been powered up, a
CONTINUOUS tone
will be heard from both
units indicating strong signals are being transmitted
and received.
Close and lock the units placing the
LOCAL
unit in
its final position near the telephone entry system.
Recommend minimum 8 feet above ground.
Take the
REMOTE
unit to the desired remote access
point and place it in its final position.
A continuous tone should be heard indicating that the range is OK.
The units can now be
permanently installed
in their current
positions.
Use the supplied transformer for permanent power. Discard battery pack.
Set the units back to
OPERATING MODE

Make sure
the antennas are screwed on tight.
Try
moving the remote unit 15-20 feet in several directions, away from metal surfaces or any obstructions.
Try
moving the local unit 15-20 feet in several directions.
Try
raising the units up, above the rooftops if necessary to clear any obstacles. The higher the units, the
less interference they will encounter. Keep antenna clear from metal surfaces or any obstructions that can
weaken the signal strength.
Test
the battery packs with a voltmeter for 12VDC. Weak batteries will produce undependable test results.
Try
changing the
FACILITY FREQUENCY
of the units. Follow
Step
55
on the manual. Both units
MUST
be
set to the same frequency.
