Placement and Radio Range
The controller is intended for use with Echoflex wireless sensors and switches.
Consideration should be made for locating the controller based on the construction
materials and furniture that may disrupt transmissions. Fire doors, elevator shafts,
stairwells, storage areas and any large metal objects can create radio shadows and
disrupt wireless transmissions.
It is recommended that switches and sensors be placed within 75 feet (22m) of the
dimmer for optimal performance.
