2.0 Wireless considerations

2.1 Power up sequence
The Emerson
properly before any wireless devices are powered. Install the power module,
Smart Wireless 701PGNKF into the Rosemount 708 to power the device. This
results in a simpler and faster network installation. Enabling active advertising on
the Gateway ensures new devices are able to join the network faster. For more
information see the Smart Wireless Gateway Manual (document number
00809-0200-4420).
2.2 Antenna position
The antenna is internal to the acoustic transmitter. To achieve optimal range,
orient the transmitter with the waveguide horizontal and the power module
closest to the ground as shown in
achieved in other orientations. The antenna should also be approximately 3 ft.
(1 m) from any large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow for clear
communication to other devices.
