Install Location Guidelines

When planning the system installation of a Transmitter with an Internal Antenna, Primex recommends taking into consideration
the below guidelines. Location is extremely important to ensure the best operation of your system.
In a multi-story building, locate Transmitter on the top floor; significantly improves coverage to the lower floors due to the
l
"umbrella" pattern of transmission.
Transmitter must be located a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the floor.
l
Transmitter must be located within 5 feet (1.5 m) from a 120 VAC electrical outlet. 10 AMP dedicated service recommended.
l
Transmitter 48" internal antenna requires vertical clearance and distance of a minimum 5 feet (1.5 m) from large, solid objects,
l
such as lockers or filing cabinets, and cannot be not touching any surfaces.
Transmitter must be located in an area that allows for enclosure and antenna clearance. Enclosure dimension is 2" height x 17"
l
width x 12" depth (5.08 cm x 43.18 cm x 30.48 cm) and antenna height is 48" (1.2 m).
Transmitter must be located in a controlled environment that is 32° to 122° F (0° to 50° C) and non-condensing humidity
l
environment.

Install GPS Receiver

A GPS Receiver is required when a Transmitter is set to use GPS as its time source.
Specifications
A GPS Receiver draws time information from the U.S. Government Satellites, providing the system with Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC).
Mounted to rooftop, pole, or window (not a Low-E glass window).
l
GPS Receiver sends UTC time to the Transmitter via the NMEA 0183 standard protocol.
l
Optional GPS extension cable. A specially designed low-resistance cable to extend the distance between GPS Receiver and
l
Transmitter. The maximum total length of the cable cannot exceed 200 ft. (60.96 m).
