3 Installation

This section discusses both the mechanical and electrical aspects of installation. It is divided into the following sections:

3.1: Mechanical Installation

3.2: Electrical Installation

3.1Mechanical Installation

In this section, the mechanical installation instructions are discussed for the various setup capabilities of the Base Radio. The subsections are as follows:

3.1.1 Base Radio Positioning

The Honeywell Base Radio is a rugged device, which provides optimal performance when installed with careful consideration. Installation practices greatly affect the life that you can expect from your Honeywell Base Radio. The main considerations for installation are covered below.

Give careful consideration to the environment where you will be installing the devices. Avoid installations that expose the device to excess temperature, high vibration, considerable shock, or exposure to dripping condensate or corrosive materials. Also avoid installing the device in an unserviceable location.

Most often these problems can be avoided with some thought at the time of installation. The practices noted below are generally recommended, but they can only act as guidelines and cannot cover all possible variations.

The final installation must be made at the discretion and approval of the user. You must be the judge of the actual installation.

Warning! During installation do not apply force to the instrument housing or antenna. Use a proper wrench for all installations. Failure to use correct installation procedures can cause damage to the Base Radio.

3.1.1 Base Radio Positioning

Correct positioning of the Base Radio will ensure the best performance of the device. Because the Base Radio is the central communication device of all Transmitters that are assigned to it, the Base Radio should be located in an area that is somewhat central to all of the Transmitters.

Figure 3-1is a picture of a general Base Radio layout. The maximum distance is determined by a number of factors, including the Baud Rate Setting. When planning the positioning of the Base Radio, try to place the Base Radio in a location with an unobstructed view to the most Transmitters possible.
