Operating Instructions

CHAPTER 8
System Walk-Thru
Now that you have successfully set up your RTS Wireless
Intercom System and turned on any auxiliary equipment, you
are ready to test the overall performance by walking the RTS
system through the areas in which you will be using it.
Before you begin your walk-thru, check the following:
The s
ystem walk-thru can detect the problem of weak signal
strength caused by:
• Poor antenna location
• Wrong antenna for receiver and/or transmitter
• RF trouble spots
• Operating distance beyond system capability
• Old or used batteries in the TR-8XX
Under normal conditions, the base station’s display will indicate
a beltp
ack status. Weak Signal condition will result in “no tx”
being displayed on the base station’s receiver for that beltpack.
In 99% of all instances you will set up you RTS Wireless
Intercom System, walk it through the area of interest and
achieve error-free performance. If in the rare instance, your RTS
system does not pass during your walk-thru evaluation, refer to
the section of this manual which deals with System
Troubleshooting.
