Antenna Installation

Mount the antenna in free space and in a direct line of sight to where the keypad transmitter is expected to be used. Do not mount the antenna in a corner or behind a bulkhead that may reflect or absorb the radio signal from the remote.

Choose the locations for mounting the receiver and antenna such that the cable lengths allow for proper connections. You may want to temporarily mount the components with tape or tie-wraps and try out system operation before hard mounting any parts.
