NOTE: The EA102A-304 is compatible only with other "-304" equipment (e.g., the SE2x-304 and the
SE4x-304). Also, do NOT install this unit in conjunction with an EA500B Transponder with a
ROM version earlier than 4.00.
Mounting
Choose a mounting location based upon the previous site survey. The receiver should be mounted as close as
possible to the location found with the test receiver. The following is a guideline for receiver mounting and
spacing:
Indoor Receiver Installation
Receiver Spacing: Receiver spacing should be no more than 24 m (80 ft.) between receivers for standard
construction. Range will be dependent upon the construction of the building. For example: a building with hollow
drywall walls may support 24 m (80 ft.) spacing; a building with steel reinforced concrete may require reduced
spacing. It is very important to maintain a consistent spacing as this will ensure optimum signal locating. The
more receivers that can detect a transmitted signal, the more accurate the locating will be.
Mounting Height: Receivers should be mounted 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 ft.) from the floor. Maintain a consistent
mounting height to ensure optimum signal locating. Do not place receivers close to the ceiling; this will cause
them to be closer to the floor above, and therefore, reduce the floor to floor location accuracy. It may also be
helpful to place the receivers somewhat higher only on the top floor to be covered and somewhat lower only on
the bottom floor to be covered.
Multi-Floor Installations: Receivers MUST be mounted over one another in multi-floor installations. This helps
maintain proper floor-to-floor reception.
Select a mounting location that:
•
provides a clear line-of-sight of the protected area, if possible,
•
is at least 30 m (1 ft.) away from metal objects such as HVAC ducts,
•
is on an inside wall, if possible,
•
is 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 ft.) from the floor,
•
is not at a barrier where it is important to resolve which side an alarm location is on, and
•
will not be damaged by tampering or opening doors.
