DSC GS-8ANTP – Antenna Placement and Installation Instructions – EN

GS-8ANTP Placement and Installation Instructions GS-8ANTP is an indoor remote antenna for the SCW9055/SCW9057. It increases the signal strength received by the communicator Input Power Beam Width (3dB) Weight Temperature Temperature Cable Length Type MHz (with 8 LMR-100 cable) (max.)

Remove the front cover of the alarm panel. Disconnect the battery wire and ribbon cable from the connectors on the front panel. Carefully disconnect the antenna cable from the radio module and the on-board antenna on the communicator. To remove the cable, grasp the end cable connector and lift straight up, as shown in Figure 1. 1 – Removing the Cable the retaining tab at the bottom of the communicator and lift the bottom of the PCB. the PCB down to remove from the top retaining clips and remove the antenna cable from the enclosure. Use these instructions in conjunction with the TL2X53G/3G20X5/GS20X5 Installation Manuals. Disconnect and telephone lines during the installation of the GS-8ANTP antenna. Use the GS-8ANTP antenna in conjunction the supplied coaxial cable only. The GS-8ANTP antenna must be installed by service persons only. Use caution installing the GS-8ANTP antenna near power lines. the PCB back in place by sliding it up under the top retaining clips. Gently press down on the PCB until the bottom tab snaps into place. the New Antenna Cable the MMCX connector end of the provided extension antenna from the back of the alarm panel through the opening above the terminal block. Carefully connect the MMCX connector to the radio module. The antenna connector must be placed across the PCB as indicated in Figures 2 and 3 below. 2 – TL25XGS / GS20X5 3 – TL2XX3G / 3G20XX the extension cable to the plastic base of the alarm panel using the supplied cable tie, as shown in Figure 4. 4 – Securing the Antenna Connector the battery wire and ribbon cable into the connectors on the front of the alarm panel. Re-attach the front cover by snapping it into place. – Antenna Placement Test choose a suitable location for the GS-8ANTP, perform an antenna placement test by moving the antenna around to determine the which displays the highest signal strength. The relative signal strength is indicated in programming section [850] Cellular Strength of the control panel. See the communicator installation manual for more details. regarding antenna placement: The antenna must be installed on the wall using the supplied hardware. Ensure the antenna is mounted as high as possible (i.e., to the ceiling) to obtain maximum signal strength. Avoid installing the antenna on or near metallic surfaces. The antenna must only be used indoors in non-hazardous locations only. Locate the antenna away from possible sources of electrical interference. The antenna must be mounted in a vertical orientation to obtain optimal signal strength. Refer to Figure 5 below. the signal strength is poor try relocating the antenna left or right, up or down a few inches. Antenna Installation installing the GS-8ANTP to the proposed location: 5 – Antenna Orientation the antenna is mounted vertically (see Figure 5). the antenna to the wall using the screws and wall plugs, or the double-sided adhesive tape provided. The adhesive tape must not be used for mounting in UL/ULC installations. Use the full length of the antenna cable supplied; do no
