BaseStaon Setup

Steps to Setup the BaseStaon

• Choose a locaon for the BaseStaon

• Choose an antenna locaon and conguraon

• Maximize performance

• Congure operaon features

• Set Network Number and Lockout Key

» Name each BaseStaon and BeltStaon (oponal, but encouraged)

» Set Stac or Dynamic Display

• Congure oponal features

Choose a Locaon

A Tempest BaseStaon mounted in an equipment rack with oponal cables and mounng hardware.

Tempest is a radio system. Choosing a locaon for your Tempest BaseStaon and the associated antenna is one of the most

important factors to ensure proper system operaon and achieve maximum operaonal range. As covered in the General

Informaon and Theory of Operaon secon of this manual, broadcasng and receiving RF signals can be greatly aected by

physical and electromagnec barriers.

Following the guidelines below for selecng a suitable BaseStaon and antenna locaon will help to ensure that your

system operates properly and achieves the maximum possible operaonal range.

See the Antenna Conguraon secon of this manual for details about recommended cable type and other important

informaon about connecng the antenna to the Tempest BaseStaon.

BaseStaon Locaon

The locaon of the BaseStaon is important, but it is the locaon of the antenna that will ensure maximum system

performance and operaonal range. Whenever possible, locate the BaseStaon in close proximity to the desired coverage

area. If this is not possible consider using the oponal Remote Transceiver to achieve opmal antenna posioning. It is

not recommended to use RF coaxial cable lengths longer than 25 feet to remote the antenna, as this will degrade system

performance and operaonal range.

• The BaseStaon must have a source of electric power available. This can be either AC or baery (DC) power.

• The front panel of the BaseStaon must be accessible for conguraon.

• The front panel may be used as a communicaon portal.

• The rear panel must be accessed for making wired system connecons.

• The Tempest BaseStaon should be in a locaon that has adequate venlaon and is not subject to extreme

temperatures and humidity.

• Avoid areas subject to water or rain.

• Always use a stable and secure plaorm or rack mount system.
