6 Positioning and start-up
6.1 General information about positioning
The radio water sensor should be installed near to the
devices to be monitored and protected, or in critical
areas.
It should be placed directly on a level section of the
floor in question, not on a base, carpet, or similar
surface.
You must also ensure that the radio water sensor is
located within the reception range of the assigned
actuator or the HomeMatic central control unit. You
should run a reception test at various times of day in
order to detect any wireless malfunctions that may
occur at different times.
