•
Obstacles
. Avoid metal, water, plants, and reflective surfaces.
•
Wireless signal noise
. Other devices that emit noise at the same frequency can impact the signal. Invest in a
spectrum meter to help locate a source of noise.
•
Angles
. Avoid putting wireless devices in the following locations:
In corners as the signal can
bounce before it reaches the
device.
Near angular decor that could
redirect the signal.
Motion sensors
When determining the location for a Pro-F or Motion/Lux sensor, you should consider:
•
Obstacles
that could potentially block motion sensor’s line of sight.
•
Heat sources
. Install the sensor at least 10-15 feet from heating vents. If a sensor detects a rapid change in
heat, it could inaccurately detect motion.
•
Likeliest place for motion
. If mounting on a wall, aim the sensor towards the likely entry point. If mounting a
Motion/Lux sensor in the ceiling, place it in the middle of the detection area.
