Mounting the Repeater
For complete mounting instructions see the Multi-Purpose Housing Installation Instructions 
(Part No. 466-1959).
Mounting Guidelines
The repeater may need to be temporarily mounted and tested in several locations before 
being permanently mounted.  It is important to ensure that all enrolled sensors are 
received properly by the repeater when they are in their final locations.  See section Test-
ing the Repeater Receiver for instructions on verifying the communication between the 
sensors and the repeater.
Select a location with access to power.
Select a location with as much clearance between the repeater and large metal objects as 
possible.
Connecting the Antenna Shrouds to the Repeater
Assemble each of the 3-piece plastic antenna shrouds
Place one black o-ring in each of the antenna shroud receptacles on top of the chassis.
Slide each shroud over the antenna wire and gently snap into place on the chassis.
