Location Considerations for the Sensor

Setting the Address, Mounting, Wiring, and Associating the
Receiver and Sensor
Radio transmission considerations
• Avoid metal barriers between the receiver and the sensor; they decrease
radio signal quality significantly (for example, plastered walls with metal
lathe or metal roof decks).
• Avoid placing the receiver inside metal enclosures.
• Avoid radio transmissions through thick, solid concrete walls.
• Conduct rooftop mounting and operation of the receiver only after careful
site evaluation and confirmation.
When selecting a location for the sensor, consider both thermal and radio
transmission characteristics of the location.
Thermal considerations
• Avoid areas of direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas in the direct airstream of air diffusers.
• Avoid exterior walls and other walls that have a temperature differential
between their two sides.
• Avoid areas close to sources of heat such as sunlight, appliances, or other
equipment.
• Avoid drafty areas.
• Avoid dead spots behind doors, projection screens, or corners.
Radio transmission considerations
• Avoid metal barriers between the sensor and receiver, such as plastered walls
with metal lathe. They will decrease radio signal quality.
• Avoid placing the sensor inside metal enclosures.
• Avoid radio transmissions through thick, solid concrete walls.
