  • Page 35 If it is unavoidable, please consider using antenna with external coaxial cable to relocate the antenna to better signal receipt position. 3. Always locate the receiver unit as far away from high voltage wiring or equipment, such as: motor, relay, magnetic valve, inverter controls and output cable…etc. as possible. Be sure to install the receiver at least 2 meters away from the inverter.
