General

 

remark

 

about

 

radio

 

communication

 

Radio

 

waves

 

cannot

 

pass

 

through

 

a

 

full

 

metal

 

grounded

 

wall.

 

However,

 

if

 

the

 

wall

 

has

 

openings,

 

the

 

radio

 

waves

 

can

 

pass

 

but

 

will

 

be

 

attenuated.

  

The

 

waves

 

can

 

pass

 

through

 

walls

 

(concrete),

 

but

 

will

 

be

 

also

 

be

 

attenuated.

 

 

Place

 

the

 

telemeter

 

high

 

up

 

(ideally

 

at

 

2

 

/

 

3

 

of

 

the

 

room

 

height,

 

in

 

the

 

case

 

of

 

a

 

closed

 

room)

  

 

Do

 

not

 

stick

 

the

 

telemeter

 

directly

 

to

 

the

 

wall,

 

ceiling,

 

or

 

fl

oor.

 

 

The

 

antenna

 

must

 

be

 

vertical

  

 

The

 

measurement

 

is

 

made

 

at

 

the

 

exact

 

position

 

of

 

the

 

telemeter’s

 

sensor.

 

Its

 

positioning

 

is

 

therefore

 

essential.

  

 

In

 

case

 

of

 

communication

 

troubles,

 

add

 

a

 

Newsteo

 

Repeater

 

to

 

the

 

installation

 

or

 

use

 

a

 

more

 

powerful

 

antenna.

Proceed

 

to

change

 

the

in

 

a

place

 

and

 

in

not

It

if

Clean

 

it

Unscrew

 

the

Carefully

 

open

 

the

The

was

 

closed

 

with

 

a

 

grease

 

seal

 

which

 

normally

 

assures

 

it

 

will

 

open

 

correctly.

 

However,

 

in

 

the

 

case

 

of

 

use

 

in

 

a

 

particularly

 

aggressive

 

or

 

hot

 

area,

 

the

 

joint

 

may

 

be

 

glued

 

to

 

the

 

joint

 

plane.

 

In

 

this

 

case,

 

replace

 

the

 

seal

 

in

 

its

 

groove.

 

As

 

a

 

precaution,

 

the

 

lubrication

 

of

 

the

 

joint

 

face

 

with

 

a

 

silicone

based

 

grease

 

is

 

recommended

 

to

 

ensure

 

later

 

easy

 

removal.
