Antenna Orientation
In order to get the best performance out of your MiSensors Wireless Sensors and Gateways, it is
important to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented
in the same direction, pointing vertically out of the sensor or gateway. If the device is mounted flat on
a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna so that it is pointing vertical. You should also make
the sensor’s antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire.
For optimum signal strength determine the height at which the majority of your sensors will be mount-
ed at and position the wireless gateway at the same height. The sensor signal strength will reduce if
the sensors are positioned higher than the wireless gateway. Also sensors should be at least 3 feet
away from each other and the wireless gateway to function properly.
