Setting Up an EnOcean Network
Before installing EnOcean devices, conduct a site survey to assess optimal placement of
sensors and receivers.
To conduct a site survey:
1. Obtain a floor plan of the space.
2. Mark the locations of fire protection walls, staircases, elevator shafts, restrooms, server
rooms, and any other areas of the building that may block radio signals.
3. Using a compass, draw a circle around each proposed receiver location (where you plan to
install an O3 Hub or CON ENOC device). The circle represents the effective radio signal
range. Each circle should cover approximately 20 m (66 ft) and overlap as little as possible
with other circles.
EnOcean sensors should be located within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the receiver. Ideally, the
wireless signal should have an unobstructed line-of-sight path to the receiver. It should not
cross any of the marked areas. For more details, see

.
As sensors are installed, conduct field tests with a handheld radio signal strength meter at each
receiver location and verify that the signal is properly received. In some cases, you may need to
