CAUTION
Installation Precautions for Wireless Communication Devices
When installing wireless communication devices take special care in selecting locations so as to ensure
proper communication. Note that even after a successful installation, due to changes in environmental
conditions, communication errors may occur when restarting the system.
As far as possible, try to keep wireless communication devices away from metals and set them up in high
unobstructed positions.
• Please take note that in many instances, walls, floors, stairs, fences and desks will contain metals. In order to
carry out communication between indoor and outdoor units, please locate indoor units near a window so that
radio waves can be easily transmitted.
• Please install the unit more than 30 cm away from walls or boards containing metal.
• If the unit is placed in a metal container such as a freezer or refrigerator, the possible wireless communication
range will be shortened. In most cases radio waves are transmitted via doors and door openings so place the
unit as near to doors as possible.
• As far as possible, keep the unit away from noise-emitting sources.
• Equipment such as some industrial instruments, electronic devices or fluorescent lamps generate noise. Please
place the unit more than 1 meter away from such devices.
• Please place the unit more than 1 meter away from computers and other devices which emit noise.
• Keep all wires as far away from wireless communication devices as possible. Please be careful about placing
near any wiring or cables such as power supply cables, telephone wires or LAN cables.
• Objects which contain lots of water, such as plants or soil, absorb radio waves. We highly recommend that such
materials should not be placed between or near wireless communication units. When measuring temperature in
a greenhouse it has been reported that as plants grew, communication errors also increased.
• Do not place the unit directly on the ground.
• Do not place units which are using the same communication frequency channel in the same area. If the same
channel is used for multiple units not only will more communication errors occur, but battery life will also be
shortened.
