27 Tempest®900 4-Channel Wireless Intercom System
Remote Transceiver
Setup the Transceiver
• Choose a BaseStaon locaon.
• Choose a Transceiver locaon.
• Choose an antenna conguraon.
• Install CAT-5 cable and connect to the BaseStaon and Transceiver.
• Conrm operaon by observing the Transceiver LEDs.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver is an oponal accessory that allows antennas to be located up to 1,500 feet away from
the BaseStaon without the RF signal loss that is associated with using long runs of coaxial cable.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver connects to the rear of the BaseStaon with standard CAT-5 wiring with RJ-45 connectors.
Note that there are two RJ-45 connectors on the back of the BaseStaon and they are not interchangeable. The second
RJ-45 is for a LAN connecon.
» Install the BaseStaon in a convenient locaon.
» Install CAT-5 cable so that it is protected from electronic interference as much as possible.
» Install the Transceiver and antennas in a locaon that provides the best RF coverage.
» Connect the CAT-5 cable to the BaseStaon and the Transceiver.
» When the BaseStaon detects the presence of the Transceiver, there is a brief automac conguraon process
before the Transceiver takes over the radio funcon from the BaseStaon.
There is one RP-TNC antenna connector on the top of the
transceiver, allowing for connecon of a half wave antennas
or alternate antenna conguraons. Always ensure that the
antenna is securely connected for proper system operaon.
The Transceiver antenna connectors are made to be water
resistant, so outdoor use is acceptable. The cable connecons
on the boom of the transceiver are not water ght, so
always protect from immersion. In severely blowing rain, it
may be prudent to protect with an RF transparent cover such
as a Ziploc bag.
Coaxial cable may be used to connect alternave
antenna opons.
Power cycle the BaseStaon when connecng/
disconnecng the Remote Transceiver. (When
power cycling, turn o the power to the
BaseStaon and wait 10 seconds before turning
it back on.) Failure to power cycle may result in
errac operaon.
