When installing your wireless transmitter it is important 

to position your device in such a way as to optimize 

the antenna location with what’s known as the “Fresnel 

Zone”.

Fresnel Zone

No co-location with other radio transmitters is 

allowed. By definition, co-location is when another 

radio device or its antenna is located within 20 

cm of your receiver/transmitter and can transmit 

simultaneously with your unit.

Multiple Transmitters

When using one transmitter with one receiver, there is 

no need to change the channel number. However, one 

receiver can communicate with multiple transmitters (up 

to 12) one at a time by changing the channel number of 

the receiver module to match the transmitter module. So 

if there are five transmitters, they should be configured 

to channels 1 thru 5.
Then the receiver can be set to channel 1 to communicate 

with transmitter #1, or channel 2 to communicate with 

transmitter #2, and so on and so forth. 

Maximizing 

Transmission

 Range

Position your receiver in a central location. 

When multiple transmitter are in operation, position 

your receiver unit in a central space if possible in equal 

distance to each wireless transmitter.
Move your system components higher off the floor and 

away from exterior walls. Avoid installing your system 

components too close to the floor or near your building’s 

exterior walls. The closer your transmitter and receiver 

unit are the greater the interference and loss of signal 

strength will be.
Maintain a line of sight between transmitter/receiver. 

Maintaining a clear line of sight between your 

transmitter and receiver unit will produce improved 

signal strength over a system that has obstacles blocking 

it.
