4.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING
This section covers pre-installation factors that should be considered when installing the trans-
ceiver in the field. Careful planning will help achieve optimal performance from the transceiver.
After reviewing this section, refer to the step-by-step installation procedures beginning on Page

Figure 12 shows a typical station arrangement. The specific details at an installation site may
vary, but there are three main requirements for installing the transceiver in all cases:
• Adequate and stable primary power
• An efficient and properly installed antenna system
• Correct interface connections between the transceiver and the data device.
