Wireless planning

1.1 Power up sequence
The Gateway should be installed and functioning properly before power
modules are installed in any wireless field devices. Wireless field devices should
also be powered up in order of proximity from the Gateway beginning with the
closest. This will result in a simpler and faster network installation.
1.2 Antenna position
The antenna should be positioned vertically and be approximately 6 ft. (2 m)
from large structures or buildings to allow for clear communication to other
devices.
1.3 Mounting height
For optimal wireless coverage, the remote antenna is ideally mounted 15–25 ft.
(4.6–7.6 m) above ground or 6 ft. (2 m) above obstructions or major
infrastructure.
