DualCom Pro - Aerial Fitting Guide
Guide
INTRODUCTION
In order to ensure your DualCom Pro achieves the best possible signal available we
encourage you to complete the following steps.
Step 1 - Use a Signal Analyser to determine the optimum location for the aerial/s
and follow the advice from the Signal Analyser section below.
Step 2 - If you do not have a Signal Analyser, power up the DualCom Pro, connect
the aerial/s, go through the commissioning process and check the signal strength
before permanently fitting the aerial. We recommend a signal strength on the
DualCom Pro of at least 3 (30%)
or above.
STEPS 3 & 4 ARE ONLY IF YOU ARE FITTING A DUAL RADIO AERIAL.
PLEASE SKIP TO STEP 5 IF YOU ARE FITTING A SINGLE RADIO
AERIAL.
Step 3 - If you are using a dual radio product, make sure that both aerials are at
least 2 metres apart.
Step 4 - If using a dual radio product, position the aerials in a vertical orientation.
Step 5 - Keep your devices aerial/s cables away from high voltage cables or any
other aerial cables.
Step 6 - Keep your aerial/s in open space and 1 metre away from large metal
objects or sources of interference (i.e. wiring, lighting, electrical installations,
computers, control panels, fuse boards, routers, etc.)
Step 7 - Do not tightly coil any excess aerial cable. Try and make large loops if
possible.
See below for examples of good and bad single & dual aerial set-ups.
