ARF868 Radio Modems - User guide version V1.6
1.9.2 Positioning of the modems
• Install the modem at a minimum height of 2m and not against the face, ideally offset by 20 cm (5 to 10 cm minimum).
• The RS232 cable should not exceed 15m in length and must be shielded.
1.9.3 Positioning of the aerial
• In the event of use of a modem fitted with a TNC base for a remote aerial, we recommend using our range of aerials (Cf catalogue of
Stand-alone products available on our web site,).
• The aerial should be installed in a free field, at least 10 cm away from any conducting material. There should be no metal obstacle within a
range of less than one metre.
• Install the 2 aerials in view of each other.
• If the modem is installed in an electrical cabinet, the aerial should be installed outside. The same applies if the modem is placed inside a
building and it needs to communicate with a modem positioned outside.
• The co-axial cable should be as short as possible (memo: cable of 25m => 6db of attenuation => range divided by 2)

ted and positioned.
Improper positioning of the cables can significantly reduce the performance of modems.
• The cables must be securely attached to the modem
• The cables must be kept away from the antenna
• The cables should not be coiled or tangled
• The cables should be positioned vertically in the modem
• The cables must not be excessive length
