Tempest®2400 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System 43
Factors that aect the maximum number of systems that may be collocated in any given locaon include:
• The existence and extent of harmful interference caused by in-band external radiators.
• Number of BaseStaons.
• Number of BeltStaons per BaseStaon.
• Whether or not Accu-Sync is being employed.
• Physical locaon of BaseStaon antennas (either on BaseStaons or on Transceivers).
• Physical locaon of the BeltStaons.
• Specic hopping paerns selected.
• Environment (wide open, reecve, through walls…).
Favorable system condions include:
• Locaons with lile or no interference from other 2.4GHz devices will provide the best opportunity for a large
number of collocated systems.
• Proper use of Accu-Sync resolves potenal desensing issues.
• Antennas of any parcular system should be separated from every other system’s antennas by at least 10 feet (3
meters) for best collocated system performance.
• BeltStaons operang at similar distances from their respecve BaseStaon antennas provide the best opportunity
for sasfactory performance of a large number of collocated systems.
• The hopping paern (Network Number) should be selected to ensure that there is a numerical separaon of four for
all collocated systems.
• Environment can play a big role in RF system performance. Every locaon is dierent and has its own unique set
of challenges. Generally speaking, locaons with very long paths to very reecve surfaces tend to be the most
dicult for digital wireless communicaon systems due to the prevalence of inter-symbol interference.
Maximum Number of Collocated Systems
With all factors listed above being favorable, a maximum of 10 Tempest systems, each with ve BeltStaons (in Normal
Mode), may be collocated with minimal or no user perceived impact on system range or performance.
The addion of one or more adverse condions will limit the number, eecveness and range of collocated systems in any
given environment proporonally to the extent of the adverse condion(s).
