We have written about the selection and installation of jammers in the past, including "How to choose a jammer? Best analysis„,“Knowing the jammer signal frequency helps you to select a jammer„,“Comparison of the interference range of high and low power jammers„,“What is the difference between an internal antenna signal jammer and an external antenna signal jammer?" and "Types of jammer antennas: How do I choose a jammer antenna?". However, I have not specifically analyzed the installation of jammers in the past. Today, I will use a cell phone jammer as an example to analyze in detail how to install a cell phone signal jammer and discuss the key factors that should be considered during the installation process.
Are you buying a portable jammer or a desktop jammer? You buy a portable jammer that you can carry around with you. This means that the portable device does not need to be installed. You just need to connect the antenna correctly to the device host and the portable jammer you have purchased will work.
For desktop jammers, the device must normally be installed. It is very important to install the cell phone signal jammer correctly. Only reasonable installation methods and environmental settings can ensure that its jamming effect is maximized. Now let's start the detailed explanation.
How do you install a cell phone signal jammer?
1. select a suitable installation location
The height between 1.8m and 2.5m is our recommended mounting height! In order for the cell phone jammer to jam the signal effectively, we recommend installing it at a height of between 1.8 and 2.5 meters. This height range maximizes the signal jamming effect and avoids a deterioration of the jamming performance due to floor obstacles or ceiling reflections.
- Wall mounting: You can securely attach the device to the wall using the mounting bracket, expansion tube and screws included in the scope of delivery.
- Ceiling mounting: It can be suspended directly from the ceiling, but avoid metal ceilings as this may cause interference effects.
- Placement on the desk: If you need to use it temporarily, you can place the jammer on the desk. However, avoid placing metal objects nearby that could interfere with the signal propagation.
2. connect the antenna and set the direction
Interference transmitters are usually equipped with several antennas, each of which has a specific frequency band. Therefore, when installing, make sure to connect the antennas correctly according to the markings on the device and ensure that the antennas are directed vertically (⊥) towards the target area to ensure the best interference coverage. You can adjust the interference direction of the antenna by adjusting the installation angle of the jammer host.
3. ensure a stable power connection
A stable power supply is very important! Desktop cell phone signal jammers normally require a 220 V AC power supply. After installation, you should check that the power cord is reliably connected to avoid looseness or poor contact. After turning on the device, check whether the indicator lights are on to ensure that the device is working normally.
The devices you buy from us all have a power indicator light. As long as the power indicator of the device is lit, this means that the device is correctly connected to the charger.
4. adjust device parameters and test signal interference effects
Do you test the interference effectiveness of the jammer? After installing the device, the actual interference effect of the jammer must be tested:
- You can test it with your cell phone. Use your phone to test whether the signal is disturbed from different distances and angles.
- Adjust the output power of the jammer to adjust the jamming range and ensure that the entire target area is jammed. Our SDP16DT has the function for adjusting the output power. Welcome to purchase!
- You can go to different corners with your phone to see if the phone signal has been successfully jammed. Monitor the range of the jammer for signal dead angles and adjust the position of the jammer accordingly or add additional equipment to cover all areas.
Factors to consider when installing a cell phone jammer
1. influence of environmental factors on interference effects
Do you know which factors influence the effectiveness of cell phone jammers in the installation environment?
- Signal strength: If the mobile phone signal in the target area is strong (e.g. closer to the base station), the jammer's interference radius may be reduced.
- Building materials: Concrete walls and metal windows and doors can increase the interference effect, while glass windows or open surfaces can reduce the interference. (If you would like to know how strongly different materials affect signal transmission, you can find out under "The influence of wall materials on the penetrability of signals emitted by cell phone jammers")
- Existing WLAN devices: If there are WLAN devices, radio systems or signal amplifiers in the room, these can interfere with the jammer.
2. sensible placement of several jammers
It takes skill to arrange several jammers correctly! If the target jamming area is large (e.g. a large examination room or conference room), a single jammer may not be able to fully cover all corners. At this time, you can adopt a cellular installation, that is, install jammers in multiple locations so that their signal coverage overlaps to ensure that there are no signal gaps in the entire area.
3. avoid disturbances in non-target areas
This is very important! When installing a cell phone jammer, make sure that normal communication in neighboring areas is not impaired. For example, in an office building or residential area, interference with other people's cell phones should be avoided.
4. heat dissipation and safety of the devices
- Ensure ventilation: The jammer can generate high temperatures during prolonged operation. It should therefore be installed in a well-ventilated place to avoid overheating, which will affect the life of the device. Let me explain it in detail here: It is normal for the device to heat up during operation, as many jammers dissipate heat through the outer casing. However, if the temperature exceeds 60 °C, most jammers will be damaged by the high temperatures. Therefore, do not allow the temperature of your device to rise above 60 degrees.
- Waterproof and dustproof: If the jammer is installed outdoors or in a damp environment, you should take waterproof and dustproof measures to prevent damage to the device.
- Prevent vandalism: When installing jammers in public places, avoid accidental contact or vandalism to the equipment. Consider installing them at a higher location and attaching a protective cover.
5. follow the local regulations
Different countries and regions have different laws regarding the use of cell phone jammers. Before installing and using a jammer, you must understand and comply with the relevant regulations to ensure conformity.
Once you have read the above information, you will realize that you have the necessary knowledge and skills to install the jammer correctly.
Properly installed cell phone jammers not only improve the interference effect, but also avoid unnecessary interference and equipment damage. During the installation process, you need to consider factors such as device height, antenna direction, power connection, environmental impact, etc., while ensuring the safety and compliance of the equipment.
If you need to jam signals over a large area, you can use multiple jammers for a distributed installation and regularly test and adjust the jamming range to ensure the best effect.
