3. Radio Wave Propagation
Although radio waves used by the Built-in PCS System employ a digital signal of service frequency of
approximately 1.9 GHz band, types of radio waves and types of propagation involved with basic radio wave
propagation are considered to be the same as other analog radio waves.
 Types of radio waves
a. Direct waves: Radio waves that are propagated 
directly and linearly.
b. Reflected waves/
diffracted waves 
(indirect...

 Types of propagation
There are two major types of radio wave propagation: the line-of-sight propagation and the propagation
beyond the horizon. As opposed to a cellular phone, consideration must be given to the line-of-sight
propagation characteristics, where a ZT can be seen directly; as well as the propagation beyond the horizon,
where radio waves travel through walls, ceilings, partition on the same floor, or another floor for a wireless...

4. Installation of the ZT (Zone Transceiver)
Explained below is how to install the ZT and precautions to be made when mounting it.
a. The ZT is a communication device that sends a weak signal as radio waves, it should not be installed
near and around equipment or an environment listed below to ensure the speech quality and various
kinds of control operations – care must be taken.
[Indoor Installation]
Do not install around equipment capable...

2. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OF ZONE TRANSCEIVER (ZT)
STEP 1: When mounting a ZT on a wall/ceiling, observe the following instructions.
i Do not mount a ZT on a wall/ceiling which cannot sustain the weight of ZT (e.g. a plaster wall,
plywood wall).
ii Make a sufficient space so that the antenna can be placed at any angle.
iii When mounting a ZT on a wall which contains a reinforcing bar near the mounting location, place
the antenna at an angle...

STEP 2: Post the attached dimension drawing on the mounting location so as to mark the locations of screw 
holes. As shown Figure 2-7, two screw holes are provided as the lower mounting position. Depending 
on the mounting location, select either of the two mounting position.

STEP 3: Secure the furnished screws to the marked locations. In this instance, for the lower mounting screw hole 
select either of mounting options depending on the mounting location.

STEP 4: Mount the ZT on the wall and slide it so that the heads of screws may fix the ZT tightly.

STEP 5: If power feeding from the PCS is impossible, use the “AC adapter” for local power feeding. The “AC 
adapter” is connected to the ZT as shown below.

STEP 7: The angle of the antenna is variable between 0º and 180º as shown below. In a wall-mount installation, 
normally the antenna is set at an angle of 0º so that the antenna may be vertical with the radio zone.
Note:Since the antenna is easily broken, handle it with care.
