Basic Initial Design And Deployment Consideration - Viconics VZ7200F5x00W Application Manual

4C) Basic Initial Design and Deployment Considerations
Proper design considerations need to be addressed prior to the installation of a Viconics wireless zoning
system.
1. To avoid network interference with 802.11 Wi-Fi devices in the 2.4GHz spectrum range, Viconics
recommends the use of 802.15.4 channels 15, 25 and 26 only. 802.11 Wi-Fi transmissions overlap and
may interfere with other channel selections allowed by 802.15.4 (Channels 11 to 14 & 16 to 24)
2. The maximum distance between each thermostat node should be 100 feet (30 M) or less between two
thermostat nodes. (Clear line of sight).
•
Open clear line of sight distance between
2 nodes should be a maximum of
100 feet ( 30 M )
Non line of sight should be less than 50 feet (15M). Typical gypsum wall partitions
made with metal stud frame construction.
Non line of sight maximum distance
for typical gypsum wall partitions
should be maximum of 30 feet ( 10 M )
between 2-thermostat nodes
( 15 M )
