Installation and starting up Connecting the operating supply voltage NOTICE! External power supply The device is powered by an external power supply. Before connecting the external power supply, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual cur‐ rent circuit breaker.
Installation and starting up Mounting the antenna Attach the included antenna to the back of the transmitter. To improve the transmission quality and for adaptation to the specific spatial conditions the antenna can be rotated and swivelled. If there is not enough space for the direct mounting of the antenna on the unit, e.g. due to limited space in the rack, you can use the supplied coaxial cable to mount the antenna apart from the unit.
