I. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you own a SPY RF Tc. This device is equipped with 1 or 2 thermocouple inputs. It enables you to record 1
or 2 temperature (depending on the model) and to transfer wirelessly the recorded data by radio frequency to a PC.

II. INSTALLATION RECOMMANDATIONS
The Spy RF is a recorder of physical parameters able to communicate wirelessly with the operating software SIRIUS.
The wireless communication is based on radio frequency. As we are daily in contact with it (radio, TV…) it is easy to think
that it always works. These true if basic rules on recorders positioning are respected concerning because wireless
communication is subject to perturbations.
a) Perturbations sources
¾
Presence of obstacles in the way of the waves between the Spy RF ModeM and the Spy Rf (wall, ceiling, person,
furniture…) or close to the antena.
¾
Obstacles thickness in the way of the waves. The absorption is more important in diagonal as perpendicularly
¾
Waves cannot pass through full metallic walls. On the other hand, a perforated wall allows the waves passing with
attenuatinon
b) installation recommendations
¾
Place the devices at ~2m hight and arround 30 to 40cm from the ceiling to avoid obstacles and moving persons.
¾
If possible, place the Spy RF in central position regarding the Spy RF recorders.
¾
Try to place them preferably at sight of each other .
¾
On the wall, it is preferable to them aside by using the special bracket (ref 08512) of the catalog.
¾
Place the antenna above the top the monitored unit (fridge, incubator, oven, cold rooms…),.
¾
Never place the Spy RF horizontally.
¾
If some difficulties persist, it is possible to use Spy Rf RelaY (repeaters) or to connect another Spy RF ModeM to
the Ethernet network (LAN).
