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 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 convenient
location close to the house, but not closer than 30 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 elec-
tronics 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 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-connector female
adapter and the F-connec-
tor and mount the antenna
to the side of the house. The
type of mounting 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
mount the antenna to any
metal buildings or metal
post.
