In areas of high radio frequency (RF) interference, the intercom may not work
as a wireless system. In these areas the keypad antenna will need to be extended
(run closer to the house) using RG59 or RG6 co-axial cable, which is the same
type of cable used for cable TV.
You will need enough co-ax cable to run from the keypad location to a conve-
nient location close to the house, but not closer than 10 feet from the intercom
base unit. You will also need two F-connectors for each end of the co-ax cable
and a F-connector female adapter to connect the antenna from
the keypad to the end of the co-ax cable near the house. The
co-ax cable and connectors can be found at hardware and
electronics stores.
Extending Antenna Range
Run the co-ax cable in PVC conduit from the keypad at the gate to a convenient location at the house. A typical location
might be on the side of the house by the garage. Attach a F-connector to each end of the co-ax cable. Remove the antenna
from the keypad and connect the co-ax cable to the keypad as shown in the diagram above.
Connect the antenna to
the other end on the co-ax
cable using the F-connec-
tor female adapter and the
F-connector and mount the
antenna to the side of the
house. The type of mount-
ing hardware will depend
on the type of siding on the
house. Mount the antenna at
least four (4) feet above the
ground. See example to the
right.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
run co-ax cable in same
conduit with AC power or
with-in 3 feet of AC power
source. DO NOT mount
the antenna to any metal
buildings or metal post.
