4.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING

This section covers pre-installation factors that should be considered when
installing the transceiver in the field. Careful planning will help achieve
optimal performance from the transceiver. After reviewing this section, refer
to the step-by-step installation procedures beginning on Page 28.
Figure 11 shows a typical station arrangement. The specific details at an instal-
lation site may vary, but there are three main requirements for installing the
transceiver in all cases:
• Adequate and stable primary power
• An efficient and properly installed antenna system
• Correct interface connections between the transceiver and the data
device.
