Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause unde-sired operation.NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-dance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Warning: Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by Xmark could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Canada—Industry CanadaThe term “IC:” before the certifi cation/registration number only signifi es that Industry Canada technical specifi cations were met.European Union—CE declarationXmark hereby declares that this radio frequency receiver is in compli-ance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.Service LightThe service light is located beside the secondary antenna, and indi-cates the current status of the LAR, as shown in the table below.Part Number 806A5301Local Area Receiver Guide© 2005 Xmark, a division of Instantel Inc.

Installing the Exciter• Ensure that the power supply and network are turned off to prevent electrical shock or damage to equip-ment. • Touch your hand to ground to discharge any electro-static charge before handling the LAR.The steps below correspond to the numbers in Figure 1.1 Record the LonWorks ID number. Locate and record the LonWorks identifi cation number onto the facility fl oor plan indicating the LAR’s position and network wiring path. Use the tear-away sticker on the LAR’s Neuron ID label.2 Remove the Mounting Plate from the LAR. If the LAR is to be installed to a receptacle box, pass the network and power supply wires through the hole in the Mounting Plate. (For other installations, the wires are passed through the slot on the side of the LAR case in Step 5.)3 Wire the terminal block. Connect the LonWorks Network IN, Network OUT, and Power Supply to the terminals. If the LAR is at the end of the network, then terminate the network segment with Item A (105 Ω terminator). Ensure there is at least 10 ft. (3 m) of slack in the cable to allow the possible repositioning of the LAR. 4 Install the Mounting Plate. Referring to the facility fl oor plan, decide the position of the LAR. Do not place near metal objects and structural frames. Ensure that the service light will be visible and that space is allowed for the antennas. Unless there is a conduit tray, run the cables at least 1 ft. (30 cm) up and away from the LAR. Install the mounting plate using one of the following methods. A Fasten to a suspended ceiling guy wire, using: • 1 multi-function Caddy clip • 2 machine screws • 2 hex nuts • 2 lock washers B Install directly to a ceiling or a wall using: • 2 wood screws • 2 hollow wall anchorsC Install to a receptacle box, using: • 2 machine screws5 Install the LAR to the Mounting Plate.Plug the wired terminal block into the LAR and install the LAR onto the Mounting Plate, using the screw removed in Step 2. DO NOT place excess network and power supply wires inside the LAR case.6Attach the two antennas. The antennas have a protective covering to prevent them from touching metal. For best coverage, ensure that they are at least 2 ft. (60 cm) from metal objects. Do not encase, wrap, or otherwise cover the antennas.Installation is complete. Proceed to Final Steps below.Figure 1: Physical connections for the LAR.Installing the LARInstallation Considerations• Position the LAR beneath ceiling obstructions—When mounting above drop ceilings, mount the LAR below metal duct work, pipes and foil-backed ceiling tiles.• Route cables up and away from the LAR—When the cable is not in conduit, keep it at least 1 ft. (30 cm) from the LAR. • Install the LAR temporarily until testing is complete—Fasten-ings should be secure enough that the LAR can be permanently mounted without disturbing its orientation.• Point the secondary antenna into a clear area, away from metal objects—The main antenna always points downwards, but the orientation of the secondary antenna is adjusted to suit site conditions. Point it away from metal objects, and make sure it is not running parallel to cabling in the ceiling. • Observe temperature and humidity restrictions—Refer to the Specifi cations table. • Leave slack in the cable—Leave at least 10 ft. (3 m) of slack in the communication and power cable to allow for adjustments in the location of the LAR. • No user adjustments to internal circuitry—Tampering may cause component or system failure, or both, and will void the warranty.Final StepsDo not supply power to the LAR or any other network device until all connections are complete.Once all devices are installed, power up the LAR and other devices. In the Xmark™ software, run Auto Confi gure to install the new devices, and then confi gure them for operation.The coverage area of the LAR must also be checked.Refer to the Hugs Installation Manual (p/n 805I0301) or MyCall/FindIt Installation Manual (p/n 805I0401) for detailed informa-tion on how to complete these steps.Installation ConsiderationsFinal StepsOROR
