Telex BTR-300 Antenna Polarization, Vertically Polarized Antennas, Antenna Placement

ANTENNA POLARIZATION

The Telex Wireless Intercom System is “Ver- tically Polarized”. This means both the trans- mitting and receiving antennas should operate in the vertical position.

ANTENNA PLACEMENT

Proper antenna placement probably has the most effect on you TELEX Wireless intercom System’s overall performance. The following

Figure 14

Proper Dressing of the Antennas

Keep the distance between the base (BTR-300) and the belt pack (TR-300) anten- nas as short as possible. The greater the dis- tance, the weaker the signal. However, the portables should be a minimum distance of 10 feet from the base station and each other for best performance.

Make sure the “signal paths” between the BTR-300 and remotes are unobstructed. You should always be able to visibly locate the an- tennas for best performance.

suggestions will result in optimum perfor- mance.

Proper placement of the TR-300 can be criti- cal. The trailing antennas should “dangle” freely. “Wadding” the antennas up and placing them in a pocket, etc., will reduce system range.

It is suggested that the unit be worn on the belt or pocket with both antenna’s hung vertically for best operating range and performance.
