RFN_3.1 Beta 65
the sky being obscured. Reflecting objects such as air conditioners, walls, and
metal surfaces may cause multi-path interference with the GPS signal and
should be kept below 10 degrees above the horizon.
• Minimum separation between GPS antennas is 4 feet.
• GPS antennas should be installed at a height that allows for regional snow
depth.
The antennas may be installed on building tops utilizing mounting hardware
designed to allow physical positioning aiming the antennas to the designated
coverage area sectors. Downtilt brackets should be installed during initial
installation of antenna at all sites other than omni configurations.
Antenna installation shall be per the manufacturer’s instructions. All antennas
shall be placed according to RF engineering information supplied by the RFN
customer. The installation hardware supplied with the antennas by the
manufacturer shall be used unless the RFN customer is supplying special
brackets for unusual mounting.
In order for sites to hand off correctly, each site’s GPS antenna must receive
pulse signals from a minimum of one satellite. From that pulse the sites will set
their “internal clocks” so that all sites will be synchronized.
4.1.2.2 Environmental Alarm Block
Alarm wiring fitted with modular (8-pin Telco) connectors terminate at the EAS.
All other connections are designed to terminate at a punch block.
