Performing a site survey:
Let’s take this typical fl oor layout with the proposed thermostat & coordinator (VWG or Jace-Driver) (
fig. 8
).
1) Find the potential coverage radius of the coordinator
(VWG or Jace-Driver) at it’s proposed location. It’s
possible that another location may improve your
network performance or that you may require an
additional coordinator (VWG or Jace-Driver) or
additional REP5000W wireless repeaters.
2) Set one of the survey tools at the proposed
coordinator (VWG or Jace-Driver) and note down the
link quality of the signal strength for each proposed
thermostat location until you are out of range.
3) It is recommended that you test ALL thermostats to
properly insure coverage.
4) All thermostats within range of the coordinator
(VWG or Jace-Driver) can be expected to join the
network directly through the coordinator (VWG or
Jace-Driver) without any hops or routes (
