Configuration

July 2008 Revision 4.2 39/62

When using Hardwire synchronization, as described in 5.2.4, there is no parameter to be defined.

When using Wireless synchronization, as described in 5.2.3, you have to carefully setup each

pedestal to ensure a proper synchronization.

Synchronization parameters in wireless mode

These parameter sets are defined as follow:

 If set as master, the antenna is transmitting the synchronization burst

 If set as slave, the antenna is receiving the synchronization burst

 The detection level for receiving the synchronization burst.

According to the number of gates installed in close proximity the following rules will apply:

 If the slave pedestal is directly facing the master then the slave antenna receiving the

synchronization pattern must not face the master-transmitting antenna.

 If the slave pedestal is not directly facing the master then the slave antenna receiving the

synchronization pattern must face the master-transmitting antenna.

Detection level

If previous recommendations do not ensure the synchronization of all slaves then it is possible to

adjust the sensitivity of the non-synchronized slaves. You just have to adjust the detection level

until you get the required synchronization (LEDs flicking cyclically). Range detection level can be

configured between 50 up to 2000. Increasing the detection level value will reduce the sensitivity to

environmental noise.

Power

This parameter allows adjusting the power level of each pedestal. However you should not exceed

4W in order to comply with FCC and CE standard certification. It is possible to increase the power

but only to carry on tests.

CAUTION: In any case, for operational configuration this value should not exceed 4W to be

in compliant with FCC and CE rules.
