7 Operating the Edge transceiver
The FreeSpeak Edge transceiver has multiple radios and antennas (antenna diversity). The
device receives and transmits over 2 radio channels and the radios are in continuous use in
order to make the best use of whatever signal paths are available between the transceiver and
the beltpacks. The two swivel blade antennas provided with the device can be angled for
optimum coverage of your intercom environment. These antennas provide a doughnut-shaped
(toroidal) coverage zone and are designed to work together to provide complete coverage of
the RF zone.
The transceiver uses natural convection for cooling purposes, there are no moving parts (fans).
7.1 IP rating (Protection Marking)
The Edge transceiver has a rating of IP 53. It can be mounted outside and will be resistant to
weather conditions and also water spray.
To ensure that the device cooling mechanism works optimally, and to achieve the IP rating, the
FreeSpeak Edge transceiver must be fixed in an upright position.
See Installing the FreeSpeak Edge transceiver on page 10 for details.
