Installing Base Stations
Installation guidelines
553-3601-200 Standard 7.00 November 1998
Before installing a Base Station, verify the position as documented in the
Meridian Companion Programming and Provisioning Record.
Each Base Station must be installed within 4,000 ft (TCM
wiring length) of the Meridian Companion system.
Consider the following points when installing Base Stations or Base Station
plug-top power supplies:
•
Ensure that the installation complies with your local electrical code.
•
Install Base Stations indoors where there is no condensation and the
temperature remains between 32°F and 120°F, preferably between 60°F
and 95°F.
•
Install all Base Stations within 4,000 ft (wiring length) of the Meridian 1
system.
•
Do not position Base Stations on large concrete or marble columns. Base
Stations must be at least 40 in. from such columns. Locate all Base
Stations at a cell center on the same side of such columns.
•
Position Base Stations on ceilings, or upright against walls close to the
ceiling on surfaces with the same material composition.
•
Allow a clearance of at least 3
surrounding objects, excluding other Base Stations (see Figure 2 on
page 14).
•
Position all the Base Stations at the same cell center a minimum of 54 in.
apart, from the center of one Base Station to the center of another (see
Figure 2 on page 14).
•
Do not mount Base Stations in rows.
•
If there are one or two Base Stations at the cell center, you can install the
Base Stations upright on a wall or on the ceiling.
