WARNING
Do not turn or manipulate the Gore Prevent element!
The unit’s IP65 environmental protection may be affected.
Installing the RTU
The following restrictions apply:
•
In general the typical “line-of sight” distance over which the
RTU can communicate is 1 km (.6 miles). This is valid if both
the RTU and its partner device are mounted on a 3 m mast (9
ft.); the results may vary under different conditions, and you
can sometimes achieve greater distances, sometimes shorter.
