3 Installing a system
This chapter explains how to install a FreeSpeak II system, including cable
connections, positioning the equipment, registering beltpacks and performing a
site survey to optimize system performance. It contains the following sections:
 Placing the Base station
 Placing the antennas and splitters
 Doing a site survey to determine coverage areas
3.1.1 Surveying a site in standalone (rigging) mode
You might need to scope a site (check the range and performance of an antenna)
without connecting to a Base station. To do this, a beltpack and antenna can be
put into standalone or rigging mode.
To put a beltpack and antenna into standalone mode:
Make sure you have to hand:
 A beltpack
 A transceiver/antenna
 A DC in XLR (male) power connector for the antenna.
 Access to a power socket.
1) Connect the power to the transceiver/antenna and at the same time
press the black mode button on the base of the antenna.
This puts the antenna in standalone mode, and opens it for pairing to a
beltpack.
1) The amber LED flashes continuously to show that the antenna is open for
pairing with a beltpack in standalone mode.
2) From the beltpack, press the menu key (3 second press) and navigate to
System Connect using the right hand rotary controller on the beltpack.
3) Press button D to see local systems available for connection.
Note: In menu mode the D key on the beltpack operates as SELECT and
the C key exits the menu level and cancels the selection.
4) Scroll through available systems using the right hand rotary controller.
