Accessory Items You May Require
Headsets
A Headset is required for each user (XLR-4F connectors).
Headsets may use Electret or Dynamic microphones. Most major brand headsets
that have the correct XLR-4F connector should be compatible, requiring nothing
more than a simple Mic Gain adjustment.
DC Power Input Cable
To power the Tempest BaseStation via DC power (Battery) instead of AC power, you will need to provide a DC Power
input Cable.
RF Cable to Remote Antennas
If you plan to remotely locate your antennas to improve antenna positioning and maximize range, you must provide
high quality 50 ohm RF cables with RP-TNC connectors.
CAT-5 Cable for Remote Transceiver
If you plan to locate the Remote Transceiver more than 15 feet from the Tempest BaseStation, you will need to
provide a longer CAT-5 cable. The maximum CAT-5 cable length recommended is 1,500 feet.
BaseSync DE-9 Cable(s)
If you use multiple BaseStations to use Accu-Sync BaseStation synchronization, you will need to provide one Accu-Sync
DE-9 cable per additional BaseStation. You cannot sync Tempest 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz models together.
