• Place the camera so that:
— It is no more than 50 feet (15 meters) and no closer than 5 feet (1½
meters) from the person wearing the locator pack assembly.
— It is about 6 feet to 7 feet (2 meters) above the floor, although higher
will also work.
— The back of the camera is at least 1 foot (½ meter) away from the wall.
If you add acoustic foam on the wall, you can place the camera slightly
closer than 1 foot (½ meter) from the wall.
— The head of the camera points no more than 25 degrees above or
below the camera base when it is tracking the person wearing the
locator. Plus or minus 25 degrees of tilt is the mechanical limit of the
camera.
• Remove as many obstructions as possible between the locator pack
assembly and the camera. Line-of-sight is best.
• Face toward the camera when wearing the locator pack assembly. If you
walk behind an obstruction or turn your back for a time and the system
loses the ultrasound signal, move the locator pack assembly back in the
line-of-sight of the camera. The camera will automatically receive the
signal again and point toward you.
For best results, follow these guidelines:
— From 5 feet (1½ meters) to 35 feet (11 meters) away from the camera,
you can face the camera or turn side-to-side as long as the locator faces
no more than 90° away from the center of the camera.
