Note:
Bluetooth signals are influenced by environmental factors such as; distance between devices, RF
interference caused by other devices, objects in the area, and building construction. Because the
AccuValve is typically installed in locations that have sheet metal duct work, metal trusses, ceiling grids,
and concrete with metal mesh; Accutrol recommends technicians carry a long-range Bluetooth transceiver
such as the AIRcable Host XR5 Bluetooth dongle which will provide superior performance over the PC’s
internal Bluetooth transceiver.
Note:
Do not attempt to upgrade the device firmware over the Bluetooth connection.
