Wireless Matrix SDT-5000 Installation and User Guide
Doc. 020-331-0002v1.1 20/31
CAUTION:
The SDT-5000 will not transmit when it is in this screen. This is to protect the
installer from exposure to RF energy. Aim the antenna ONLY while in the
“Installation and Antenna Aiming” screen.
9. Wireless Matrix configures the Initial DH Frequency during commissioning, and the installer
does not need to change this value unless directed by Wireless Matrix support personnel.
10. The antenna should be aimed according to its location in North America. From eastern
North America, start by aiming the antenna in a southwesterly direction. From western
North America, start by aiming the antenna in a southeasterly direction. From central North
America, start by aiming the antenna in a “due south” direction.
11. While monitoring the Signal to Noise Ratio in the “Installation and Antenna Aiming” screen,
rotate the antenna slowly in the horizontal direction and stop at the point that shows the
highest reading. Then increase and decrease the antenna elevation until the highest Signal
to Noise reading is displayed. If the receiver is tuned to a DH Channel (SYNC displayed on
the Status Line), and the antenna is aimed in the optimum direction a Signal to Noise Ratio
of above 16 dB should be displayed. If this is not the case, the antenna is either blocked or
it hasn’t been aimed accurately.
12. To navigate to another window or logoff the system, type “E” (for exit) in the Select field and
press the Enter key. The Main Menu window (see figure 5) is displayed.
13. The unit will display “Operational” on the Status Line, and will be ready to send and receive
messages to the Host.
