Determine the location

The PIM400-485 communicates with WAPMs using radio frequency (RF) signals. RF signals
are diminished by walls, distance, metal objects or barriers. Consider the following when
placing the PIM400-485:
Mount the PIM400-485 within 200 horizontal feet (61 meters) of each WAPM with typical
building construction. When clear line-of-sight is available, communication may be
possible up to 1000 feet (305 meters).
Do not mount the WAPM(s) and the PIM400-485 on different floors. The signal may be
degraded and functionality could be severely limited.
Do not mount the PIM400-485 on a metal surface. A separation of at least one inch
must be maintained in all directions from any metal .
Signal will not pass through metal walls or metal mesh in the walls (stucco). Use a
remote antenna module located outside the room when necessary.
Moving vehicles will interrupt the signal. Placement distance should be reduced by half
when vehicles may temporarily block the signal.
Mount the PIM400-485 or the remote antenna so that the antenna is vertical for
optimal communication.
Locations and wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 for U.S. and Canadian Electrical Code for Canada.
