Tempest 2400 Wireless Intercom System
Remote Transceiver
Setup the Transceiver
• Choose a base station location.
• Choose a Transceiver location.
• Choose an antenna configuration.
• Install CAT-5 cable and connect to the base station and Transceiver.
• Confirm operation by observing the Transceiver LEDs.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver is an optional accessory that allows antennas to be located up to
1,500 feet away from the base station without the RF signal loss that is associated with using long runs of
coaxial cable.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver connects to the rear of the base station with standard CAT-5 wiring
with RJ-45 connectors. Note that there are two RJ-45 connectors on the back of the base station and
they are not interchangeable. The second RJ-45 is for a LAN connection.
Install the base station in a convenient location.
Install CAT-5 cable so that it is protected from electronic interference as much as possible.
Install the Transceiver and antennas in a location that provides the best RF coverage.
Connect the CAT-5 cable to the base station and the Transceiver.
When the base station detects the presence of the Transceiver, there is a brief automatic configuration
process before the Transceiver takes over the radio function from the base station.
There are two RP-TNC antenna connectors on the top of the
transceiver allowing for connection of two half wave antennas or
alternate antenna configurations. Always ensure that two antennas
are securely connected for proper system operation.
The Transceiver antenna connectors are made to be water
resistant, so outdoor use is acceptable. The cable connections on
the bottom of the transceiver are not water tight, so always protect
from immersion. In severely blowing rain it may be prudent to
protect with an RF transparent cover such as a Ziploc bag.
Coaxial cable may be used to connect alternative antenna options.
See the Antenna Configuration section on page 25.
Pairs of Directional Antennas must
be aimed to cover the same area
