RF Transmitter Installation Instructions
The USTC Mobile TED transmitter should only be installed by qualified service personnel.
The transmitter detects transmitted GPS signals and other data signals from the external binary
inputs and broadcasts that data to the system's CTS sites.
MOUNTING LOCATION
The USTC TED Transmitter is an RTU as defined by the FCC. The transmitter housing will normally be
installed in the trunk or passenger section of a vehicle. The GPS receive-only antenna and the
MTED transmit-only antenna shall be mounted external to the vehicle. The omnidirectional transmit-
only antenna shall be mounted in the center of the vehicle roof or trunk. The purpose for the
location of the transmit-only antenna is two-fold - it 1) insures compliance with FCC exposure
requirements and 2) improves the RF radiating characteristics of the transmit-only antenna. The
GPS receive-only antenna should be mounted at least 30” away from the transmit antenna.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mount the antennas and transmitter housing. Insure that these devices are securely in place.
The location of these devices should conform to the above paragraph.
2. Connect the antenna to the proper antenna connector. Note that an improper connection
could damage either of the antenna, the MTED, or all three devices.
3. The unit will come pre-programmed with Transmitter ID. There will be field programming of the
unit for other parameters.
CAUTION:
This device is required to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting
devices. A separation of 20 cm (8 inches) or more must be maintained between the transmit
antenna and all persons during device operations to satisfy RF exposure compliance.
TESTING THE TRANSMITTER
Following system installation, system testing is mandatory. This should be performed by locating the
TED in its final location and powering up the unit. On initial power-up, the TED will send out RF
messages every 4 seconds or more depending on programming. This will establish communications
with the CTS receiver and the information collected will then be used to judge system performance
