General radio installation instructions
It is not always possible to freely select the installation location of devices which communicate
wirelessly, as radio data transmission is influenced to a greater or lesser extent by structural or spatial
factors.
Before installation and assembly, the building structure must be analyzed and a series of measure-
ments must be made to determine the specific ranges within the building.
In order to establish operational and reliable communication paths, the following aspects must be
considered before and during planning:
■
Structural factors restrict the transmission ranges which can be reached. Building materials and
screening elements (e.g. suspended ceiling elements, installation shafts, fire doors, etc.) must be
taken into consideration during planning.
!
NOTICE
Elevated humidity increases natural signal damping.
NOTE
Recommendation: Plan radio paths
horizontally on a single level
with max. 30 m between the
trasmitting and receiving modules.
■
Observe minimum distances to potential sources of interference.
- Min. 0.5 m to high-frequency sources of interference (such as microwaves, transformers or
computers)
- Min. 3.0 m to transmitters of other radio systems (such as a cordless telephone or headphones)
- Min. 0.1 m to metal and door frames
■
Minimize the effect of wall thickness (for example partition walls or room dividers) by ensuring that
the radio signal passes through the walls at as close to a right angle as possible.
■
Do not select installation locations in the radio shadow of screening building parts/structures
→
No
direct reception possible.
■
Where the device is installed at the limits of reliability, change the position of the transmitter/
receiver slightly if possible (reduce overlapping effects of radio waves).
