4. Placement Guidelines and Best Practices
■
Maintaining Line of Sight (LOS)
In order to obtain maximal range from the Vaxis Thor 800FT+, it is necessary to maintain proper
line of sight (LOS) between the Transmitter and the Receiver. Adhere to the following
recommendations to achieve best LOS:
• To ensure optimal RF conditions, place both the Transmitter and the Receiver as high as
possible.
• Remember that any obstacle between the Transmitter and the Receiver might reduce range.
Avoid positioning your units in places where there is object interference (e.g., a wall).
• If placement in the vicinity of an obstacle cannot be avoided, keep in mind that different types of
ob-stacles have different effects on the range. For example, a brick wall will cause more
interference that a thin drywall.

Placement Recommendations for Camera and Monitor Units
In order to obtain maximal performance from the StudioLink system, always adhere to the
following placement recommendations:
• Ensure proper line of sight (LOS) between the Transmitter and the Receiver. For details,
refer to
Maintaining Line of Sight (LOS)
.
• To achieve maximal range, position all antennas in an upright position.
• Avoid or remove any interfering obstacles, especially metal parts (such as the body of the
camera).
• Maintain a distance of one meter between Transmitters.
• Maintain a distance of at least one meter between Receivers.
• Mount the Receivers on tripods at a height of 1.5 meters.
The following figure shows an example of proper placement of the Transmitter and the Receiver:
