2.1.1 General The series EE240, based on the “ZigBee” protocol, transmits at a frequency of 2.4 GHz with a power of 6,3 mW. A bi-directional wireless connection prevents loss of data, if disturbances may occur. The maximum transmission distance depends greatly on the local conditions. Obstacles, like walls of reinforced concrete, steel buildings, or structures attenuate the signal and decreases the transmission distance.
Transmitter The transmitter powers the sensing probe and transmits wirelessly the measurement data. Each trans- mitter can be equipped with a maximum of three sensing probes. For a detailed technical description, see chapter 3.2. Operating manual Series EE240 Wireless sensor...

Each wireless network is built around an EE242 base station, and depending on the number of trans- mitters, may include one or more EE244-R routers. For the parallel operation of several EE240 net- works at one site it is of paramount importance for each transmitter and router to be within the transmission range of the routers and basis station of only one network.
