Building construction
. There should be no more than 2 drywall/metal stud walls and a drop ceiling between a
sensor and the Wireless Adapter.
TIP
To reduce the distance that a signal has to travel through walls, try to install the sensors and Wireless
Adapter so that the line from the Wireless Adapter to each sensor passes through walls as close to
perpendicular as possible.
•
Wireless Adapter position
. The front of the Wireless Adapter should always face the sensors. If you place a
sensor behind the Wireless Adapter, the circuit board will interfere with the sensor's transmissions.
Wall mount
: The front of the
Wireless Adapter should face
outward toward sensors.
Overhead mount
: The front of the
Wireless Adapter should face
downward toward sensors.
•
Lighting
. A solar-powered sensor should get consistent and adequate light (no less than 110 lux). If you have
several locations to choose from, choose the brightest location.
NOTE
LED lighting provides substantially lower energy content than fluorescent lighting. For example, an LED
light and a fluorescent light may both give 300 lux, but the LED light will charge the sensors much more slowly.
