On-site measuring

As soon as the concrete locations for the radio units have been planned, it is
recommended to confirm the circumstances in keeping with the plan using on-site
measurements.
A detailed description on how to use the test equipment can be found in
Measuring Device ME-8", page
Remarks:
• Installation site for the test radio unit: To carry out the measurements do not
place the radio unit on the ground / floor but position it in the location in which
it is to be installed later.
• Measurements must be meticulously carried out (no compromises). The
objective is optimum radio coverage.
• Documentation: It is advisable to keep a test log so results can be reproduced
later. Record the values measured as well as the supply range on the ground plan,
horizontal and vertical.
• The measurements provide a reliable idea of the equipment required and the
locations for the radio units.
• Co-operation with the customer: As soon as you are able to make sufficiently
binding statements about "problem areas", you should involve the customer for
clarification purposes. It is imperative that the customer be informed of any areas
where coverage is not optimum.
Optimum positioning of the DECT radio unit
The location of the DECT radio unit is determined by a number of different factors:
• Optimum radio coverage of the environment
• Conditions inside the building
• Installation possibilities
• Presence of supply leads and socket outlets
• Aesthetic aspects and wishes on the part of the customer
• Outside the buildings: weather protection (rain, sun), vandal-proof
