JTECH UHF Desktop Transmitter Installation and Operation Guide 320115K Page 3
The transmitter can be mounted in one of two ways: 1) placed on a flat surface
such as a counter or desktop with the attached stand, or 2) mounted to a wall
using the attached stand as a mounting plate. Four holes are provided to
facilitate wall mounting. The four #6 screws are user provided and can be
purchased from a local hardware store. When placed on a flat surface the angle
of the unit may be adjusted using the thumbscrews on either side of the unit.
For best results, the transmitter antenna must be vertical. Ideally the transmitter
should be centrally located within the area where paging is to occur. Since this is
not always possible, range testing at different locations may be required to obtain
the desired performance. See the special function section of this guide entitled
‘Range Test’ for more information. Also consult your Sales Consultant for
additional information.
Once the Desktop Transmitter and antenna have been installed, plug in the
power adapter. Once powered the transmitter will display ‘Enter Pager #’’
indicating it is ready to send a page. The red power light (PWR) will be lit.
PeopleAlert 2601 Telephone Interconnect Transmitter Connection
Connect one end of the RJ-11 phone cord to the phone jack on the side of the
unit and the other to an available phone jack line in your telephone system. The
Phone Interconnect requires an analog phone jack; the Telephone Interconnect
must be able to hear the tones from a push button telephone. Please refer to the
section entitled ‘Telephone Interconnect Specifications’ for additional help in
determining the type of phone line.
Optional Magnetic Mount Antenna
The optional Magnetic Mount Antenna with its 12-foot extension cable should be
mounted vertically and as high as possible. Its base is magnetized for mounting
convenience but does not have to be attached to a metal surface. If the
Magnetic Mount Antenna is not attached to a metal surface, please ensure that it
is secured in some way. This antenna is designed for indoor use only.
Optional Extended Range
The Extended Range Options include:
1) A 6’ antenna and cable, which will boost signal by approximately 15%.
2) An indoor/outdoor antenna, a 50-foot cable, 35-watt power amplifier and
power supply. This option increases the power output of the transmitter to
from 2 watts to 35 watts, and increases range to up to 5 miles in open
areas. Installation of this antenna and power amplifier requires special
skills. Consult your JTECH Sales Representative for additional
information. This option is not available in certain countries.
Because implementation of Extended Range Options boosts transmitter power
(ERP) output above 2 watts, these options require FCC Approval and Licensing.
Your JTECH sales manager can assist in securing appropriate FCC licensing.
