connect the white wire to terminal 1 and the
green wire to terminal 2.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT install antenna covers
until you have verified system operation. If you
accidentally install a cover, you can disengage
it by pressing a straightened paper clip into the
small hole in each end of the cover.
6. With the cover screws of the pedestal facing
the exit, connect the cable exiting the pedestal
to the interconnect cable exiting the base.
Also, position its power cord in the outside
groove of the base as shown.
With cover screws facing the exit, slip the
pedestal over its base. Press down for a tight
fit.
7. Using pliers, bend and remove cable access
knockouts from the top and bottom of the cover
intended for the Ranger top antenna. Also
remove the knockout from the top of the cover
intended for the Ranger bottom antenna.
Route cables through channels in the antenna
assembly and snap covers in place as shown.
8. Plug the pedestal-side of the extension cord
supplied into the power cord exiting the base
and the other end of the extension cord into an
AC outlet (a green lamp at the top of the
transmit pedestal will light).
Note: A red lamp will blink once every 4
seconds to indicate that the system is looking
to avoid noise from nearby electronic
equipment or to sync to the quietest ac line
phase (auto phasing). Auto phasing can take
from 1 to 20 minutes depending on noise
encountered.
Note: Once auto phasing completes, the
pedestal emits an audio/visual alarm for 2
seconds to indicate it is ready for routine
operation. If the red lamp starts to blink twice
every 4 seconds for one minute, then tagged
displays may be too close to the system. See
“False Alarms” on page __.
9. To check system performance, hold a known
good security tag perpendicular to the
antennas and walk it through each boxed area
shown, stepping out from between the
antennas each time. The transmit pedestal
should alarm each time the tag approaches the
area between the pedestals.
