ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS
Communication between RFGs is RF-based with a frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz.
Effective range of communication is 75 feet (22.86 meters) in open air. The RF antenna
is internal to the RFG and its orientation is shown by the “molded radio wave symbol”
on the front of the RFG. The RFG and its antenna should be vertical for best reception.
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS
The RFG requires two different types of wires run, based on set-up and system design:
1) CAT-5 CABLE
A CAT-5 cable is used to connect the RFG to either the MultiZone receiver
or to a keypad. This cable must be terminated with RJ45 connectors using
T568A protocol as shown in the Installation Section
.
2) POWER CABL
E
A power supply is needed when the RFG is set-up as an independent
Repeater Base or Wireless Keypad. A Niles FG01035 Power Supply (sold
separately) is used and connected using the barrel connector.
