CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Your choice of installation locations for your Aria transmitter(s) and Unity fixture(s) can have
a significant effect on their range and speed of communication.
•
Avoid installing either the Aria transmitter or the Unity fixtures(s) near to metallic objects.
•
Maintain a clear ‘line of sight’ path between the Aria transmitter and the Unity fixture(s).
INTERFERENCE CREATED BY OBJECTS
The composition of nearby objects can have a significant impact on the quality of the RF
signal. Here are a few examples:
•
Standard drywall does not present much of an issue to the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum.
However, things inside or attached to the drywall, such as copper pipe, electrical conduit,
and circuit breaker panels, will partially block RF signal propagation.
•
Hollow cement block walls will dampen the RF signal.
•
Reinforced concrete walls typically contain rebar that will contribute to significant RF
signal strength loss.
•
Large metal structures such as metal cabinets, HVAC units, machinery, brew kettles, etc.
may partially or completely block the RF signal.
Maintain a clear line of sight
between the Aria transmitter
and the Unity fixture(s).
In particular, avoid metallic
objects.
