5.4 Install Base Stations
Be sure the Base Station is positioned clear of anything that might damage it. The Base
Station should be well above head height, away from doors and other objects that might
strike it, and away from areas open to the elements or possible water leaks.
Check your location for other radio antenna devices and place the Base Stations to avoid
interference. Leave enough slack wire (approximately 25 feet) to account for possible
future Base Station moves.
Mount Base Stations on Dropped Tile Ceilings
A ceiling clip and plastic bolt are supplied to install Base Stations on the drop ceiling
rails (T-bars) used to support acoustical tile. The plastic bolt screws into the top of the
Base Station, then snaps into the ceiling clip which has been attached to the rails that hold
the acoustical tile. The fastener is designed for use on 15/16" wide rails.
1. Attach the metal fastener to the rail (T-bar) supporting the dropped ceiling by
rotating it into position until it snaps into the locked position.
2. Screw the plastic bolt to the 1/4 x 20 captive nut into the top of the Base Station.
3. Slide the bolt into the exposed prongs of the metal clip until it snaps into position.
4. When properly attached the Base Station should sit almost flush against the
ceiling and be tightly attached to the clip and T-bar grid work.
5. Once the Base Station is anchored to the fastener, lift the acoustical tile and plug
the RJ-45 8-pin modular plug into the connector on the top of the Base Station.
•
The LED will blink red and green as the system software downloads to the
Base Station and the Base Station is tested.
•
When the LED blinks amber, the system is ready for operation.
•
When the LED blinks green, a telephone has established a radio link with that
Base Station.
•
If the LED turns solid red, there should be an error message on the MCU's
status LEDs. Refer to 8.1 Troubleshoot Error Codes.
