BaseStaon

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 Band

» Set Network Number and Lockout Key

» Set Stac or Dynamic Display

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

• 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.

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, Tempest is a radio system, broadcasng and receiving RF signals that 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 antennas 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 insure 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 runs 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 may 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.
