Hardware Installation
The SmartAlert Transmitter is wired directly to a communications port on your
host device. This may be a Personal Computer or other electronic device and to
any analog phone jack on your telephone system. The first consideration in
installation is regarding the placement of the SmartAlert Transmitter. It should
be as high as possible and must be located within the length of the
communications cable. RS232 cable length maximum is 50 feet. The next
consideration involves safety. Be sure the unit is securely mounted and safe
from liquids, extreme heat, and possible physical damage.
The antenna must be vertical. As with any transmitting unit, pay close
attention to obstructions when locating antenna. Wall, pipes, ducts, mirrored
glass, or other similar barriers may weaken or misdirect transmitted signals.
Certain materials and construction, especially metal, have the potential to
partially or completely block the signal. Also remember that the SmartAlert
Transmitter requires an 110V outlet for power.
