    PA system. This section will help you plan an installation that is best suited for your environment. Radio coverage site survey Ritron recommends that you do a “radio coverage site survey” before permanently installing the LPA-Series receiver. This will require 2 people and 2 charged portable radios.
  • Page 41 Conducting the radio coverage site survey: Person #1 will take one portable radio and go to the location you would “most likely” install the antenna for the LPA receiver (see FIG-2). This person will “simulate” the type of coverage you can expect, IF, the antenna for the LPA receiver was installed in this location.

    Installing a Magnetic Mount Antenna for the LPA-Series Receiver A magnetic mount antenna should be installed in a location, which is at, or as close as possible to the best location as determined by the site survey. The antenna’s magnetic base must be attached to a piece of metal (i.e. steel or iron). The antenna comes with 12 feet of attached co-axial cable* so you can remotely locate the antenna up to 12 feet away from the LPA-Series receiver.
