Figure 2–9 Antenna with Spring Relief

NOTE

Do not deploy (tip to power on) the WRUs until they are at the actual location

where they will be placed.

NOTE

When using a WRU as a Repeater, the deployment instructions are the same,

except a geophone is not required. Repeaters are added to the line segment in

the Spread Manager. See the RT System 2 Operator Guide for more information.

If a geophone is not connected, you can skip the geophone test. See “D. LED

Indicators” on page 163 for more information on skipping the test and the

relevant LED status indicators.
