5.3.5 Configure WherePort Phase

Selecting <E> from the set WherePort configuration screen allows the user to set

the phase of WherePorts when multiple WherePorts are connected to provide a

larger area of coverage.

The phase of a single WherePort should always be set to 0°.

When multiple WherePorts are connected, the first WherePort in the chain should

always be set to 0°. WherePorts facing the same direction should have the same

phase, and every 90°change in the mounting direction should correspond to a 90°

phase change. Figure 38 shows the WherePort phase setting screen. Figure 39

shows an example of the phase setting in a typical multi-WherePort installation.
