$INSTALLING THE PRIMARY STATION AND REGISTRATION POINT
Installing the Primary Station
The Primary Station defines the
working area of the system, and
needs to be located centrally within
the desired coverage zone. In an
open space you will be able to use
the belt packs up to 150m from the
Primary Station, but once inside a
building this range will be reduced
by the building’s structure and
internal fittings. e.g. large metal
objects like cold stores are
potentially a problem as they block
the radio frequency path. This
reduction in range is difficult to assess
accurately unless a site survey is
carried out, but typically in most
buildings you can expect to operate at
least 50m from the Primary Station.
This is a radius measurement, so
teams of belt packs users can easily
communicate over a 100m distance. If
you would like to invest in a site survey,
please contact your local distributor.
The Primary Station should be wall-
mounted at least 2 metres from the
ground for best performance. In
general use there is no need for
users to touch the Primary Station,
and installing it out of reach is OK.
In many commercial premises with
suspended ceilings, this will mean
mounting just below ceiling level. Do
not
site the Primary Station above a
metal frame suspended ceiling. The
Primary Station must always be
mounted in a “landscape” orientation,
as shown above.
