MOUNTING THE RF BRIDGE

POSITIONING
WHEN FINDING A LOCATION TO MOUNT THE LiT YARD 2 RF BRIDGE, THERE ARE SOME FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE CONNECTIVITY OF YOUR RF BRIDGE TO YOUR REMOTE HANDSET.
THE RF BRIDGE SHOULD BE MOUNTED:
– IN AN ELEVATED POSITION.
– OUTSIDE OF ENCLOSURES eg. PUMP HOUSES OR GARDEN SHEDS

MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF OBSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN THE RF BRIDGE AND THE REMOTE HANDSET WILL IMPROVE THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE DEVICES. MATERIALS SUCH AS TIN, STEEL AND  CONCRETE CAN HAVE A DETRIMENTAL AFFECT ON THE RF BRIDGE SIGNAL TO THE REMOTE HANDSET.
THE REMOTE HANDSET SHOULD BE WITHIN A 54 yard (50m) LINE OF SIGHT OF THE RF BRIDGE.

INSTALLING THE KEYHOLE SCREW
THE RF BRIDGE USES A KEYHOLE HOOK ARRANGEMENT FOR MOUNTING FASTEN THE SCREW INTO THE WALL MATERIAL UNTIL THE SCREW HAS 1/4-1/2 inches (7-11MM)] STILL EXPOSED FROM THE WALL

ATTACHING RF BRIDGE TO KEY HOLE SCREW

1. SLIDE THE RF BRIDGE OVER THE MOUNTING SCREW USING THE KEYHOLE ON THE REAR OF THE UNIT.

2. LOWER THE RF BRIDGE OVER THE MOUNTING SCREW TO ENGAGE THE LOCKING PORTION OF THE KEYHOLE

INSTALLING THE LOWER MOUNTING SCREW

1. REMOVE THE LOWER COVER ON THE RF BRIDGE TO EXPOSE THE LOWER MOUNTING HOLE.
   

2. FASTEN A SCREW THROUGH THE LOWER MOUNTING HOLE INTO THE WALL MATERIAL.

NOTE
WHEN MOUNTING THE RF BRIDGE TO CONCRETE OR BRICK, IT IS ADVISED TO FIRST USE THE RF BRIDGE TO MARK THE MOUNTING HOLE POSITION AND REMOVE THE RF BRIDGE BEFORE DRILLING THE PILOT HOLE.

CABLE CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING THE RF BRIDGE

1. REMOVE THE COVER AND INSERT THE RJ12 CABLE INTO THE RF BRIDGE
   

2. INSERT THE RJ12 CABLE INTO THE CABLE GUIDE SLOT ON THE LOWER COVER OF THE RF BRIDGE
