9. c Some major points to consider when installing equipment 1 Never install antennas near or adjacent to telephone public address or data communication lines or overhead power cables 2 Avoid where ever possible running antenna coax alongside other cables 3 Avoid mounting the transmitter in the immediate vicinity of telephone exchanges or computer equipment 4 Always use 50 ohm coaxial cable between the antenna and the transmitter If cable runs exceed 5 metres always use low loss 50 ohm cable such as RG213 or UR67 Coaxial cable intended for TV Satellite or CCTV installations is normally 75 OHM and therefore totally unsuitable for any transmitter installation manufactured by Scope 5 Also remember that the performance of the system will be affected by the type of material the unit is mounted on and its surroundings The following is a list of materials that this transmitter will be adversely affected by if mounted on or if mounted in close proximity to a Foil back plasterboard b Metal mesh or wire reinforced glass C Metal sheeting large mirrors or suspended ceilings d Lift shafts All of the above can reflect radio waves and thereby reduce the capability of the transmitter to perform its desired functions 6 The circuit boards within this equipment may be harmed by Electrostatic Discharge ESD Installers should ensure that both themselves and the system s chassis are grounded before beginning any installation and
