Installing Multiple Carriers

 

 

 

 

Multiple-carrier installation involves several stages:

Mounting the carriers on the wall and cabling them.

Installing a single radio module in each carrier.

Installing the remaining radio modules.

The most efficient method for installing carriers and their radio modules is to perform self-tests after each stage of the installation. This enables you to spot any problems at an early stage and to avoid the necessity for deinstalling the components in order to solve problems.

Mounting and Cabling Multiple Carriers

Perform the tests described in “Wireless Test Mode” in Chapter 3 to determine the optimal placement of the radio module. To perform the tests, all you need is an electrical outlet for the radio module and a charged battery pack in the handset.

If you are installing 117A3 carriers and need to adjust the power setting to avoid interference from other wireless products, see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Power Level.” Also make sure you have set the Control/Expansion DIP switch correctly (see “Setting the 117A3 Carrier Control/Expansion DIP Switch”).

To mount and connect cable for multiple carriers:

1Check to be sure the carrier’s power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before continuing.

2Choose a location backed by a wooden stud for the carrier (if unavailable, use toggle bolts instead of the supplied wood screws).

Note: The leftmost carrier must be the control carrier; all of the others are expansion carriers.

Place the carrier against the wall, leaving enough room to the right for additional carrier(s) if applicable. Hold the carrier straight; use a level if needed. Using a nail or pencil, mark screw locations through the four wall-mount holes. Start the screws, leaving the screw heads protruding approximately ½ inch (12 mm) from the wall.

3Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each carrier, leaving 1 foot (0.3 m) optimally to 4 feet (1.2 m) between carriers.
