Base Station and Repeater installation do’s and don’ts
Base Stations and Repeaters emit a 1.9 GHz radio signal to support Handsets. In order to
receive the best performance from the Base Stations and Repeaters, observe the following
rules:
• The KWS1500 Base Station provides a radio coverage radius of around 47
meters / 150 feet indoors, or up to 106 meters / 350 feet outdoors in direct line-
of-sight conditions.
• KWS1500 Base Stations should be placed in a central position relative to the
expected usage of the handsets. The points following provide guidelines for
placement of the Base Station.
• The Base Station and Repeaters are typically wall mounted.
• KIRK Repeaters require local power (standard 120V AC). A dedicated,
conditioned power source is recommended.
• The Base Stations and Repeaters MUST be placed vertically and right-side up.
Placing a Base Station or Repeater in any other fashion can reduce radio signal
penetration by up to 50 percent.
• Vertical orientation may be observed by the printed stickers located on the rear
of the unit.
• Placing Base Stations or Repeaters above ceilings or ceiling tiles is not
recommended.
• Placing Base Stations or Repeaters behind furniture or other objects that may
reduce radio signal penetration is not recommended.
• Painting of Base Stations or Repeaters or, if mounted externally, their housing or
containers, is not recommended. Paints contain metallic and/or carbon materials
that will reduce radio signal penetration.
• Place Base Stations and Repeaters between 1.8 and 2.4 meters / 6 and 8t feet
above floor level.
• Do not place Base Stations inside metallic cases. Use plastic enclosures for
external mounting.
• Never mount Base Stations or Repeaters to a metallic surface. Metallic surfaces
can cause radio signal reflections.
