PRE-INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
Proper repeater installation ensures the best
possible performance and reliability of the
repeaters. Pre-installation planning is required to
make sure you take into account.
•
RF coverage field test to decide mounting
location of the repeater in relation to input
power and antennas
•
Site Environmental Conditions
•
Electrical Requirements
•
Proper programming of the repeater’s
parameters (in order to assure interoperability
with other radio devices).'Programming The
Repeater' on page 38 for more information.
Note:
You must read the entire pre-installation
chapter in order to assure proper repeater
operation.
RF Coverage Field Test
The following instructions* are quick and easy tips
to test the RF coverage area and decide the best
position for the Repeater Antenna (either with the
antenna directly installed into the repeater device
or using the antenna/magnetic mount/ RF cable
accessory kit (P/N HKKN4022).
This field coverage test will need to be performed
by at least two people, each one with a fully
charged 2-way radio. Before the test, make sure
the radios are programmed exactly on the same
parameters (frequencies, codes, bandwidth, etc.)
and are operating in talk around mode.
