RVS-RCS Installation Guide

The  occupancy  sensor  should  be  installed  in  the  space  where  the  receiver  is  mounted  and 

connected  to  the  occupancy  control  equipment.  The  signal  will  travel  through  some  material 

barriers. 
Refer to the tables for range considerations with building materials that reduce the radio signal 

power.

Wireless System Layout Hints

Avoid locating transmitters and receivers on the same wall.
Avoid  locating  transmitters  and  receivers  where  the  telegrams  must  penetrate  walls  at  acute 

angles. This increases the material the telegram must pass through reducing the signal power. 

Avoid large metal obstructions as they create radio shadows. Place receivers in alternate locations to 

avoid the shadow or use repeaters to go around the obstacle.
Do not locate receivers close to other high frequency transmitters. Leave at least 3’ between the 

receiver and any other source of interference including, ballasts, LED drivers, computers, video 

equipment,  WI-FI/LAN  routers,  GSM  modems  and  monitors.  Transmitters  are  not  affected  by 

these sources of interference.
