Determine the Signal Quality and Select a Location

The communicator must be mounted indoors within the protected premises. When choosing a
suitable mounting location, understand that signal strength is very important for proper operation.
For most installations using the supplied antenna, mounting the unit as high as practical, and
avoiding large metal components provides adequate signal strength for proper operation.
In this procedure, you will use the communicator to determine signal strength to find a suitable
mounting location.
Warning – The internal or external antenna(s) used with this product must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 7.8 in. (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
* LTE-CF Initial Power Up: Upon initial power up, the communicator LEDs blink in repeated
sequence from top to bottom indicating network initialization.
Green (REG)  Yellow (TX/RX)  Red (FAULT)
This sequence may take up to 15 minutes. Do not reset power during this time.
When initialization is complete, the Signal Quality display LEDs will light and the yellow and
red LEDs may blink (per their respective functions).
After initial network setup, subsequent resets or power ups can take up to 90 seconds.
1. For this procedure, you will need a fully charged 6V battery.
2. Attach the two Antenna Mounting Adapters, two RF cable, and two Antennas. Remove the
top knockout if necessary. Refer to the Wiring Diagram on the inside of the back cover for
wiring and component identification.
3. Temporarily connect the battery to the communicator (Jumper wire between TB1 pins 2 and
3, Battery Positive on TB1 pin 3, and Battery Negative on TB1 pin 4). Wait about one minute
for the communicator to initialize.
4. Position the assembly near a suitable mounting position and observe the signal quality
display. Choose a location with the best signal strength by observing the signal quality bar
graph (refer to Appendix A for information about signal quality and status indications).
Signal quality should be within 2-5 bars lit solid. For optimal performance 4 or 5 bars are
better. The best signal strength is usually found at the highest point in the building, near a
window.
5. Verify the signal strength remains steady for a few minutes, then mark that mounting position.
Disconnect the battery.
