P ROPERLY WRAPPING THE ANTENNAE
The antenna wrap around the water pipe on each end of the ClearWave™ (see
Figure 1). A minimum of seven fully wrapped coils of the antenna wire, with each
coil wrapped tightly against the pipe and pressed snugly against each other is
required for best results (see Figure 3). The operation of the ClearWave™ and the
antenna installation is not based on direction of water flow, but one antenna MUST
be wrapped in a clockwise direction and the other wrapped in a anti- clockwise
direction.
1. First, wrap the antenna onto the water pipe by securing the right antenna to the
water pipe next to the ClearWave™ housing with a wire tie. Wrap the right
antenna clockwise (over the top of the pipe first), keeping the antenna wire tight
against the pipe and the preceding coil. Secure the end of the right antenna
wire to the water pipe with a wire tie (see Figure 3).
2. Wrap the left antenna onto the water pipe by securing the antenna to the water pipe next to the ClearWave™ housing
with a wire tie. Wrap the left antenna counter clockwise (Under the bottom of the pipe first), keeping the antenna wire
tight against the pipe and the preceding coil. Secure the end of the left antenna wire to the water pipe with a wire tie.
3. When energized, the ClearWave™ modulation indicator lights start flashing sequentially indicating that the
ClearWave™ is functioning properly. If the indicator lights do not flash sequentially, unplug the power supply, wait
one minute then plug in the power supply again. If at any time a functional problem is suspected, unplug the power
supply, wait one minute then plug in the power supply again.
NOTE: The performance of the ClearWave™ is not affected by the direction or orientation of the unit. The unit may be
mounted to horizontal, vertical, or diagonally. The ClearWave™ can be used effectively on any type of water pipe;
galvanized, copper, or plastic.
NOTE: The ClearWave™ is designed and tested to cause little or no interference to other communication devices, such
as televisions, and most cordless telephones. Install the ClearWave™ at least ten feet from any radio, television, or
cordless telephone base unit to eliminate possible interference.
