PART 5 ENVIRONMENT / OPERATING CONDITIONS The Connector/Transmitter/Receiver are designed to be fixed mounted and operated in a clean and dry environment. Care should be taken to prevent the components of your wireless system from being exposed to moisture, toxic chemicals, extreme cold or hot temperature that are outside the specification listed in this manual.
5.1 General Deployment Guidelines (continued) 7. Where possible, try to ensure an uninterrupted line-of-sight between nodes. Avoid obscuring objects (e.g. metal pillars, posts, sign) near the antenna. A close object obscures a wider range of solid angle. 8. It is important to understand that the environment may change over time due to new equipment or machinery being installed, building construction, etc.
5.2 With Line-of-Sight When installing the Receiver it is important to position your device in such a way to optimize the antenna location within what’s known as the "Fresnel Zone". The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between the Connector/Transmitter and the Receiver.
5.3 Without Line-of-Sight When line-of-sight is not possible, signal penetrates and is reflected by different objects to reach the destination. Therefore, it is important to learn about how these materials would affect signal propagation. Depending on the thickness, moisture content and angle of incidence, a wall may allow between 1% and 25% of the radio power to pass through.
