Requirements and recommendations
•
The EDGE Gateway receiver runs continuously, 24/7/365, and should be connected to an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that protects against power surges and provides power to
back up the receiver.
•
The EDGEConnect web application will show an alert clearly on the computer screen if a module
is not communicating. You may also verify connections by pressing the pushbutton on the EDGE
W-200 module and making sure “ACK_RECEIVED” is displayed.
•
Recommended maintenance and calibration procedures should be followed.

Placing your EDGE module for best wireless performance
For optimal operation, follow these recommendations when physically placing your device:
•
Do not place the module within 40 cm (16 in.) of another module.
•
Make sure the wireless module is not placed on an electrical conduit or cable tray (such as for
computer network cables).
•
For best results, place the module so that it faces the general direction of the receiver.
•
Keep about 20 cm (8 in.) of clear space around the module. For example, a module that is
“stuck” between two refrigerators may not communicate effectively.
•
Make sure all cables, if any, are firmly attached and that sensors are properly inserted in the
appropriate chamber.
