Rf Considerations (Best Practices) - Dialight IntelliLED Quick Start Manual

RF Considerations (Best Practices)

• RF is similar to the Wi-Fi you use at home. Here are some best practices
to follow when setting up your controls system to ensure complete and
reliable connectivity.
RF Considerations
• RF will struggle to communicate through the following materials:
• Metal/ Cages
• Brick
• Concrete
Mounting Considerations
• Avoid the following devices when considering mounting your gateway:
• Antennas/Amplifiers
• Microwaves
• Faraday Cage
• LoS (Line of Sight)
• Ensuring line of sight connectivity to AT LEAST one of your lighting
fixtures will help ensure reliable connectivity.
• Central Mounting Location
• The Gateway will maintain a stronger connection to lights/sensors
if mounted in a central location to those lights/sensors.
• Open Area
• The Gateway should be mounted in an open location to allow the
RF to extend to your lighting fixtures. Avoid enclosed locations.
• Channel Selection
• IntelliLED
channel number based on site demands. Ensure the IntelliLED
Controls System is operating on a RF channel with low use.
