Relay.” Select one of the relays Relay 1 thru Relay 5 .

Since every user will require a custom application, cables for your RELAY connections will require some bench work
with a soldering iron.
Use the Transceiver
Choose an optimum location for the Tempest Remote Transceiver and antenna.
Using standard CAT-5 cable, connect the Transceiver to the BaseStation RJ-45 connector labeled TRANSCEIVER.
The “Power” LED on the Transceiver will light if the BaseStation is powering the unit. If the “Power” LED does
not illuminate when connections are made and the BaseStation is ON, the CAT-5 cable may be too long to deliver
adequate power to the Transceiver.
When disconnecting a Remote Transceiver while the BaseStation is power on, it is good practice to power your
BaseStation off and back on after the Remote Transceiver has been reconnected.
Local BaseStation whip antenna is disabled when the remote transceiver is connected.
