INSTALLATION
FIXED STATIONS
ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 409
We recommend that the equipment is installed by qualified and experienced
personnel, to the relevant standards and approvals. For detailed instructions on
connecting particular items of equipment, see the relevant document on the CD
provided with the Envoy™ Transceiver Getting Started Guide.
Positioning the transceiver
When choosing a location for the components of the transceiver, you should be aware
of the environmental ratings of each item of equipment as set out in the specifications.
They must be mounted in a suitable position that:
• provides a free flow of air through the rear cooling fins to dissipate the heat
generated by the transceiver
• provides easy access to the controls
• does not expose the unit to direct sunlight
• does not expose the unit to water ingress
• ensures correct connection and operation
• provides easy access for maintenance

Installing the cables
WARNING: Do not cut the control, coaxial or speaker cable. If the cables are too
long, gather the excess neatly and secure each bundle separately so that
it is out of the way. Do not stack the bundles together.
CAUTION: Large magnetic fields can be generated along the power cable during
transmission and these fields may be coupled into the control cabling.
Failure to keep these cables separated causes distortion of the
transmitted signal.
Power supply
WARNING: All installations should be checked by a qualified technician before
power is applied to the transceiver.
Power can be provided by either:
• a suitable transceiver supply connected directly to the AC mains
• a 12 V DC lead acid battery
CAUTION: Ensure that the power supply to operate your station is 12 V DC.
