To know that a transceiver/antenna is active, observe the green power LED and
the yellow signal LED on the face of the unit where the RJ-45 connector is
connected. Both must be lit. Also, wireless beltpacks in the vicinity of the active
transceiver/antenna will be connected to the system and their displays will show
labels and other information.

Using both transceiver ports, a Base station may be connected with up to two
transceiver/antennas via a direct connection with the Base station. For the best,
most reliable coverage, it is advisable to use a minimum of two
transceiver/antennas in any installation, positioned in different locations in the
coverage area. When more antennas are required to support a larger coverage
area or more wireless beltpacks, an antenna splitter will need to be introduced
between the Base station and the transceiver/antennas.

Note:
In some situations, particularly in outdoor venues, interference from external
radio sources can severely reduce the range of the system. In these cases we
recommend a site survey as described in Chapter 8, “Installing a System”.

Connecting transceiver/antennas with a splitter
(PD2203)
(PD2203)
A splitter (PD2203) will connect up to five transceiver/antennas to one of the
transceiver ports on the FS II Base station, creating up to five coverage zones
that can be overlapped to make large areas where FS-BP wireless beltpacks can
have continuous coverage. The use of the splitter also extends the distance that
the transceiver antennas can be located from the Base station to 2,000 meters
(6,400 feet) if 24AWG cable is used or 1.000 meters (3,200 feet) if 26AWG cable
is used (assuming the same cable type is used to connect the antenna to the
splitter and the splitter to the Base station).

Note:
It is recommended that shielded CAT-5 cable or better is used.
For example, a splitter can be used to connect to an FS II Base station that is
located in a production truck outside an arena or stadium, with a single CAT-5
cable going to the splitter which is then located just inside the stadium. From that
splitter, up to five transceiver/antennas are distributed throughout the stadium to
create wide coverage – each with a run of CAT-5 cable back to the splitter. A
similar arrangement may be used in a large theatre or performing arts facility.

The connection between a transceiver port on the FS II Base station and a
PD2203 splitter is accomplished with standard 4-pair CAT-5 data cable with RJ-45
connectors. It is connected to the port labeled MATRIX on the splitter. This cable
can be as long as 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) if 24AWG cable is used or 500
meters (1,600 feet) if 26AWG cable is used. The splitter must be locally powered
via its DC IN connector, using the in-line external universal power supply. The RJ-
45 ports on the splitter labeled “1” through “5” are the connections to the FS-TA
transceiver/antennas.
