The FS II transceiver/antennas form the transmission link between the FS II beltpacks and the FS II Base station. It has internal omnidirectional (all directions/circular coverage) antennas that allow the antennas to be mounted horizontally or vertically. Multiple units are used to support the beltpacks and to create larger, customized coverage areas. Each transceiver / antenna is connected to the Base station, either directly or via a PD2203 splitter.
The unit has two methods of fixing:
*Three screw points for mounting on a flat surface.
*Two microphone stand connectors, 3/8 in and 5/8 in.










Antennas can be temporarily mounted using microphone stands.  This provides a great way to conduct site surveys, sales demos or pre-installs. 
Another popular way to install transceiver antennas are in drop ceilings directly above the false panels.

Using the three mounting holes transceiver antennas can be mounted on drywall as shown below:












Here is another method of installing a transceiver antenna on a wall that has conduit / cable raceways running along the wall. 
A clamp and 5/8 inch threaded rod was used for this installation, the clamp was attached to a conduit running along the wall.













Here is a detailed picture of the transceiver antenna with the threaded rod and clamp parts.











Keep the following general rules and tips in mind when installing FS II antennas:

• Keep antennas high (typically, though lower placements away from interfering objects can at times be beneficial) and line-of-sight.

• Keep them away from larger metallic objects and surfaces, and from lighting truss.

• Antenna coverage is circular so put the transceiver/antennas in the center of the area in which coverage is required.

• When overlapping the coverage zones of transceiver/antennas to create larger continuous coverage areas, test the in-between areas with a beltpack for potential areas of low RF signal; adjust the positioning of the antennas as needed. We normally recommend a 10-20% overlap between adjacent RF converge zones

• Because of potential body shielding during movement, it is useful to place two transceiver/antennas in different locations within larger working areas to minimize low-level signals and potential signal dropouts.

• Going between a larger area and a corridor via a door, especially a heavy or shielded one, or where the walls are thick, place a second antenna in the corridor near the doorway to assure continuous coverage.

• Avoid from flush mounting the antenna on large metal surfaces or reinforced concrete. If you must mount them on metal plates, put a wooden or plastic spacer of atleast a few inches away from the wall or plate metal/concrete.

•  If youneed to have two or more antennas close together to accommodate many BPs in one RFspace, mount them with  few feet separation…not right next to each other.

• Bestpractices dictate that the antennas be mounted below a lighting grid.

• Avoidcable runs that cross large loops of AC or triax cable to avoid induction fromthose loops.
