27 Tempest®2400 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
To remotely locate antenna always use high quality, low loss, 50 ohm RF cable terminated with an RP-TNC connector for
the BaseStaon side connecon and the appropriate antenna mang connector on the other end. LMR-195 (or equivalent)
coaxial cables can sasfactorily be used in lengths up to 10 feet. LMR-400 coaxial cables (or equivalent) can be used at
lengths up to 25 feet. Longer RF coaxial cable runs are not recommended due to signal aenuaon in the cable.
When locang the antenna at distances greater than 25 feet, use the oponal Tempest Remote Transceiver. The remote
transceiver allows locang antennas up to 1,500 feet away from the BaseStaon without the RF signal loss that is associated
with using RF cable. The The antenna can be mounted directly to the Tempest Remote Transceiver, or they can be separated
from the remote transceiver using high quality, low loss, 50 ohm RF cable as listed above. See the Tempest Remote Transceiver
secon of this manual for more informaon on the setup and use of the remote transceiver.

Install the BaseStaon in a convenient locaon and use the Tempest
Remote Transciever connected with CAT 5 cable and RJ-45 connectors
to posion antenna
s in the most suitable locaon. Use omnidireconal
antennas on the Transeiver or use short lengths of LMR-195 coaxial cable
to separate antennas for addional spaal diversity.
Pairs of Direconal Antennas must be aimed to
cover the same area. Direconal antennas are
currently not available on the 900 MHz model.
