9 Section 2 Installation
The Loudmouth
™
speaker should be mounted
horizontally for the widest coverage
When mounted horizontally the Loudmouth
™
speaker will provide 90° horizontal and 60°
vertical coverage without significant loss of sound
level. Refer to the SPL chart
on page 25 for
typical sound levels at full volume.
2.3 Loudmouth
™
radio receiver installation
Installation of the Loudmouth
™
receiver is critical to the effective radio coverage of the radio loudspeaker system.
Without proper installation the maximum possible distance between the calling radio and the Loudmouth
™
receiver will be significantly reduced.
Guidelines for installing the Loudmouth
™
receiver:
• The radio receiver box must be located inside, out of the elements.
• Be sure there is a convenient source of 110VAC power for the RPS-1A power cube.
• The Loudmouth
™
receiver should be installed in a central location and as high up as possible for best radio
coverage.
• For maximum radio coverage the antenna should be in a vertical orientation and should not be touching or
surrounded by large metal objects. The receiver box can be mounted horizontally as long as the antenna is
in a vertical position.
• Do not install the Loudmouth
™
receiver in a high traffic location with the possibility that the receiver box
would be struck, become unplugged, or the speaker be disconnected.
• Do not wind, loop or otherwise allow the power cord from the RPS-1A power cube to contact the antenna.
The power cord should be routed away from the antenna.
Radio range can be extended with the use of an external
antenna.
The antenna can be installed at a higher elevation than is possible with the
attached antenna.
The Ritron RAM-1545
VHF/UHF magnet-mount antenna has a 25 ft.
cable to allow optimum antenna location.
Installing Concrete Expansion Anchors
1. Drill hole of recommended
diameter, see chart below, into the
base material to a depth equal to,
or slightly deeper than the length
of the expansion shield. Clean out
the hole of all dust and cuttings.
2. Place the Single Expansion
anchor, nut end first, into the hole.
The top end of the anchor should
be flush or slightly below the base
material surface.
3. Place the object to be fastened
over the anchor in the base
material and bolt into place. The
bolt should engage 2/3 of the
threads of the anchor.
