Installation:
The EAGLE PLUS system is factory-configured for operation on channel 1 with alarms
operational and mono audio.
To obtain the best picture quality and transmission distance, the following rules of thumb
should be followed:
1) Mount the transmitter and receiver antennas above human and mechanical traffic,
the higher the better. A 10 foot steel mast on top of a building is typical. Make sure
that the mast is well grounded to earth ground with an 8 AWG or larger wire. For
maximum range, the transmit and receive antennas must be 15 to 20 feet above all
obstacles in the line of sight.
2) Keep the transmission path as open as possible. Objects such as walls and
metallic objects near the transmission path may reduce the transmission distance.
3) Do not add additional lengths of cable to connect the receiver to the antenna as
significant losses in signal, and reduced transmission range will occur.
4) Keep the cable connecting the antenna to the receiver as short as possible.
The EAGLE PLUS transmitter and receiver units come pre-mounted in a NEMA-4X
rated aluminum enclosure which allows mounting of the unit outdoors.
