28 Tempest®2400 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
Remote Transceiver
Setup the Transceiver
• Choose a BaseStaon locaon.
• Choose a Transceiver locaon.
• Choose an antenna conguraon.
• Install CAT-5 cable and connect to the BaseStaon and Transceiver.
• Conrm operaon by observing the Transceiver LEDs.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver is an oponal accessory that allows antennas to be located up to 1,500 feet away from
the BaseStaon without the RF signal loss that is associated with using long runs of coaxial cable.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver connects to the rear of the BaseStaon with standard CAT-5 wiring with RJ-45 connectors.
Note that there are two RJ-45 connectors on the back of the BaseStaon and they are not interchangeable. The second
RJ-45 is for a LAN connecon.
» Install the BaseStaon in a convenient locaon.
» Install CAT-5 cable so that it is protected from electronic interference as much as possible.
» Install the Transceiver and antennas in a locaon that provides the best RF coverage.
» Connect the CAT-5 cable to the BaseStaon and the Transceiver.
» When the BaseStaon detects the presence of the Transceiver, there is a brief automac conguraon process
before the Transceiver takes over the radio funcon from the BaseStaon.
There are two RP-TNC antenna connectors on the top of
the transceiver, allowing for connecon of a two half wave
antennas or alternate antenna conguraons. Always ensure
that the antennas are securely connected for proper system
operaon.
The Transceiver antenna connectors are made to be water
resistant, so outdoor use is acceptable. The cable connecons
on the boom of the transceiver are not water ght, so
always protect from immersion. In severely blowing rain, it
may be prudent to protect with an RF transparent cover such
as a Ziploc bag.
Coaxial cable may be used to connect alternave
antenna opons.
Power cycle the BaseStaon when connecng/
disconnecng the Remote Transceiver. (When
power cycling, turn o the power to the
BaseStaon and wait 10 seconds before turning
it back on.) Failure to power cycle may result in
errac operaon.
See the Antenna Conguraon secon.
Pairs of Direconal Anten-
nas must be aimed to cover
the same area.
