SUGGESTED INSTALLATION
Select an installation location
§ Loner Beacons should be installed wherever GPS signals are
unreliable or unavailable
By default Loner Beacons will transmit in a radius of about 15
§
to 30 feet but range is dependent upon obstructions in the
environment and mounting position
§ Beacons should be mounted higher up in a room as practical
with minimal obstructions to interfere with the wireless signal
§ Continuous coverage of an area is not a requirement, but it is
beneficial
§ It is ok to have signals overlap. Only the strongest beacon
signal will be used to identify a worker's location.
§ Consider placing Loner Beacons near circulation pinch-points
like doorways, catwalks or gates
Ensure that areas with poor visual access are adequately
§
covered—for example behind equipment or piping
Obstructions that are made of metal or concrete will reduce
§
signal range compared to wooden structures
For highest accuracy install more Loner Beacons operating at
lowest transmit power setting. See transmit power settings.
