Installing Wireless Devices

Careful planning is needed when locating the receivers and transmitters based 

on the construction materials in the space and possibility of tenant’s furniture 

disrupting the transmissions.
The sensor should be installed in the space where the receiver is mounted. The 

signal will travel through some material barriers.
Refer to the tables below for range considerations with building materials that 

reduce the radio signal power.

Wireless System Layout Hints

•  Avoid locating transmitters and 

receivers on the same wall.

•  Avoid locating transmitters and receivers where the telegrams must 

penetrate walls at acute angles. This increases the material the telegram 

must pass through reducing the signal power.

•  Avoid large metal obstructions as they create radio shadows. Place 

receivers in alternate locations to avoid the shadow or use repeaters to go 

around the obstacle.

•  Do not locate receivers close to other high frequency transmitters.
•  Leave at least 3’ between the receiver and any other source of interference 

including, ballasts, LED drivers, computers, video equipment, Wi-Fi/LAN 

routers, GSM modems and monitors.
