Tips

• Water tight operation is possible for the Cat5 connections on the RT
Line Extender. Please contact TE at http://www.te.com/ and reference
part number 1738607-1 for more information.

• Distances discussed and shown on the diagram are approximate and
have been tested using 100% copper twisted pair Cat5 cable.

• Use of copper clad solid aluminum-core Cat5 cable signicantly
reduces distances and/or performance quality of your system.

• Use caution when mounting, especially near foot trafc areas; never
mount directly overhead.

• Use installation template provided for assistance installing securely &
accurately.

• If using ZSync, ensure all BaseStations are powered on and all RT Line
Extenders and RTs are powered on and operational at all times.

• For multiple BaseStations, roaming installations, and detailed
synchronization considerations, contact Pliant for more information.
