AT&T 8000 Antenna Placement, Transmitter locations, Antenna length less than I5 feet, if possible

Page 14

Antenna Placement	The antenna for the Central Controller must have a minimum
	length of 7 feet and should be run in an area central to all the
	transmitter locations.
	Increasing the length of the wire does not proportionally increase
	the effectiveness of the reception. Short increases in length run
	toward the weakest RF link can increase reception, however, extra
	long antennas can actually decrease reception. It is best to keep
	the antenna length less than I5 feet, if possible.
	Poor reception can. occur when the antenna is mounted in an area
	where a large metallic object is present. These metallic objects
	block the RF waves. Sometimes sources of metal are obvious, such
	as washing machines, refrigerators, heaters, etc...Other sources
	are better hidden. Metal ducts, other electrical wires, and steel "I”
	beams can all cause trouble if the antenna is run on top of or near
	them.

	‘Note: The antenna wire should not be bundled along with the
	phone line or any other wire. Many installers do this to make the
	installation look better, however, "no check in’ problems may
	appear due to the introduction of electrical noise, such as static,
	into the system.


	CAUTION: Don’t loop antenna wire.
