Door/Gate Station(S); Power Supply; Am And Fm Antennas; Dab+ / Fm Antenna - iCentral System One M200 Installation Manual

DOOR/GATE STATION(S)

Door stations are best located adjacent to the front door or at the front gate at a suggested height of
1400 to 1500 millimetres and may require a wall box depending upon the surface to which they are
to be affixed.
Any station exposed to the weather will require the fitting of a weatherproof cover.
Where stations are to be installed in brick or concrete columns at a front gate, the cable should be
run in conduit from the station to below ground level and back to the house.
For door stations fitted with cameras, consideration must be given the viewing area of the camera
taking factors such as lighting etc into account.

POWER SUPPLY

The power supply is usually located no less than 1 metre and not more than 5 metres from the
Master (or from the Room Station that serves as a central connection point).
Suggested locations are kitchen cupboards, pantry, bedroom wardrobes etc.
The power supply should be located with sufficient space to dissipate heat effectively.
It is desirable to have easy access to the power supply for occasions when power to the system
needs to be switched off and back on again.

AM AND FM ANTENNAS

The antenna arrangement is a critical part of the installation for quality radio reception.
The AM and FM antennas should be located in the highest point of the roof and at least 2 meters
away from any electrical or intercom wiring.
Because both the AM and FM antennas are directional, experimentation with positioning is
recommended to achieve the best possible result.
Where the roof is lined with foil insulation, or is of metal construction, it may be better to have the
AM antenna situated externally.
FM reception can be greatly improved in poor signal areas by using a specialised outdoor FM
antenna.

DAB+ / FM ANTENNA

For models equipped with the DAB+ / FM radio, only one antenna is required for both the DAB+
and FM signals.
The antenna is usually located in the roof space however there may be instances where better results
may be achieved by using a specialised externally mounted DAB+ / FM antenna.
