6.9.2 Vertical Antenna Placement
If your Connector/Transmitter is mounted
in a vertical position in your application you
should mount your receiving so that the same
polarization is achieved with the receiving
antenna. As shown in the “Vertical” example
Fig 6-8.
6.10 Factory Preset Values
Your Connector/Transmitter has been
factory programmed for the following default
operation; Channel Number: 1, Thermocouple
Type: K, Transmit Rate: 1 sample/5 sec
6.11 Transmit Rate vs. Battery Life
Many factors such as ambient temperature
conditions and transmitting rate can have a
big effect on the life of the battery used in your
connector/transmitter. Transmitting data places
a big demand of the battery in your connector/
transmitter. The transmit rate is the single
most contributing factor in the life of your
battery. The slower the transmit rate you set,
the longer the battery in your device will last.
The table below give some estimates on how
long the battery should last vs. the transmit rate
you selected when you setup your connector/
transmitters and under normal operating
conditions.
