Special RF Consideraons with Mulple BaseStaons

Whenever mulple Tempest BaseStaons are operated together in close proximity, special consideraon must be taken to

ensure proper system operaon and maximize operaonal range.

See the Antenna Locaon secon of this manual for more informaon on antenna placement.

See the Antenna Conguraon secon of this manual for details about recommended cable type and other important

informaon about connecng your antennas to your Tempest BaseStaon.

See the Accu-Sync secon for more informaon on using synchronizing mulple Tempest BaseStaons.

Up to 3-5 BaseStaons may be used in simultaneous operaon in close proximity to each other with proper synchronizaon

and antenna placement, under ideal condions. Closely spaced antennas will cause adverse system performance and will

reduce operaonal range.

Using Link Quality with Collocated Systems

Tempest provides a diagnosc tool to measure the link quality (LQ) between a BaseStaon/Remote Transceiver and

corresponding BeltStaons. LQ is a useful metric that can assist users in troubleshoong poor audio quality and system

performance. It can also be very helpful when collocang BaseStaons and monitoring their performance. Users can view

LQ at the BaseStaon or the BeltStaon.

From the BaseStaon, users can view the LQ for all corresponding BeltStaons that are operang in Normal Mode. The

LQ for Shared BeltStaons is not viewable at the BaseStaon. To view, press Menu buon, and select: Tech Menu>ENT

thru Warning!>Diagnoscs>Reset Radio. From this screen you will see the LQ for all Normal BeltStaons currently logged

into that BaseStaon. Their corresponding slot number will be displayed above the LQ value.

Note: The LQ value being

displayed on-screen is provided in real-me and ulizes the same data stream as the audio you hear; therefore, while

viewing LQ in this menu, audio quality between the BaseStaon and BeltStaons will likely be impacted. It is recommended

that this tool only be used during set-up and pre-producon troubleshoong, and that you back out of this menu before

assessing system audio quality.

From the BeltStaon, users can enable the LQ indicator by pressing the Menu buon and selecng: Belt Sengs>Tech

Menu>ENT thru Warning!>Diagnoscs>Show Scan Debug. Once shown, the numerical LQ indicator will appear below the

baery indicator on the BeltStaon’s main operaonal screen.

When collocang BaseStaons, the LQ tool can be used to ensure each system is maintaining adequate link quality with

corresponding BeltStaons and synchronizaon between systems is properly working. For more informaon on using Link

Quality when collocang systems, contact your Tempest Applicaons Engineer.

When two or more Tempest BaseStaons are to be operated in the same locaon,

ulizing the Accu-Sync can signicantly increase system performance and operaonal

range.
